Melissa’s Site and Whatnot

Posted February 16, 2010, 10:36 p.m.

It’s been a super-busy few days. We celebrated Chinese New Year with our family and some good Chinese food and Melissa’s had a bunch of art stuff going on too. I’ve been focused on a project I’ve had on my to-do list for a while: the redo on Melissa’s web site. She came up with a new design, and I did a template implementation in both WordPress and ZenCart. Now her portfolio and store all look like they’re part of the same site, which is good.

I’m also working on a few other long-standing to-dos that I haven’t done. Maybe, eventually, I’ll feel at least somewhat caught-up. Maybe.

On top of all that, I’m feeling like I might be coming down with a cold or something. Not cool!
