The joy of feedback

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I won’t go into details, but I’ve had quite a tough month or so in the web programming side of my life. A lot of hard work and dedication leading to a very unsatisfactory ending – the first time in my adult life I’ve left a job with a bitter taste in my mouth.

So I thought I’d write this to say thank you to everyone who has, in the same time period, contributed to the small flood of comments relating to my two jQuery plugins – fullTextArea and crossSelect. Up until recently I had no idea anyone was even using them, so it really brightened the last 4 weeks to know that the free time I put into programming is appreciated (even if the same can’t be said for paid work all the time).

So thank you again for restoring my faith in the programming community. I’ll get on to incorporating the best suggestions as soon as I can.

Web Dam

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

After a long and hectic absence, taking in Dartmoor, Amsterdam, a wedding and an Irish man interrupting me in the middle of writing this, I am back.

Why am I back? Because I am once again a web professional, having just been offered a job working for a web start-up here in Amsterdam (well… in Almere, which is about 20 mins by train away) and as this site was originally intended as a place to post thoughts on web-design, it’s only fitting I start it up again.
