Hello WordPress, my name is Rob.

Just upgraded my blog from SubText to WordPress 2.5. So far I am impressed. Good thing because I will be working with WordPress at 76design and it would not be cool if I hated it already.

Status Update :: 76design

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Most of you know that my work at deleted theory is collection of side projects which feed my need to build web apps, explore technologies, and to help out my friends.

A few weeks ago I jumped at the opportunity to work full time with a company I really admire called 76design. Located a few short blocks away from my apartment in downtown Ottawa, 76design is talented design & web development agency with a nose for clean designs and a passion for social web applications. With their sister company Thornley Fallis, a full-service communications and public relations agency, a symbiotic relationship has formed where teams from both companies integrate on a variety of projects.

I am only a couple of weeks in but I can already see great potential, and already there are exciting projects coming down the pipe. Looks like I am going to have to hit the ground running, but I always welcome fun and exciting challenges.

Now if you will excuse me, I have some new programming languages to learn.

Spring Cleaning – Web Dev Style

Monday, May 19th, 2008

It is time for some spring cleaning, and switching hosting providers gave me a chance for a fresh start. No more lingering databases, websites or DNS entries… I get a chance to upgrade all the third party services to the latest version, re-configure my backups and making sure everything is working neatly and properly. Should be good for another few months at least.
