February 15, 2009

This week I moved all my various online hosted stuff from my web-mania hosting (which ran out on Friday) over to some brand-spanking new hosting that I bought last weekend on Lunarpages. So far I am enjoying it. Multiple databases mean I can keep various sites seperate and better organised, and allowing multiple domains pointing to various folders within my sites is handy.

Also, have been in Uni more or less Monday – Friday from 10am – 5pm (and later!) for the last few weeks trying to make a dent in my dissertation and other week. It turns out I am shit hot at procrastinating, but finding that sidetracking myself by reading more isn’t really too bad is it? I seem to have the core arguements for my planned chapters sorted and just need to get down to knuckling down and writing the damn thing.

I am keen to get involved with Google Analytics to start familiarising myself with the idea of seeing how my users actually use my site, and where they go, where they come from etc. I don’t really have much practical use for the data at the moment but who knows, eh?

Finally, decided to play around with some CSS frameworks (well actually, just one framework – namely 960). Might be good for quickly banging out some rough designs, and just enjoying learning something new really. Check it out, seems quite useful – http://960.gs/

Hm, one more thing actually – any one able to recommend some good web development software (along the lines of Coda for the Mac) for the PC? At the moment I’m trying out KomodoEdit but although its really handy it isn’t quite the full package as far as I’m concerned. Not really massively keen on staying using something as bloated as Dreamweaver to be honest.

Sayonara, motherfuckers.
