I haven’t been around for a bit, I know. I had things to take care of. Taxes, bills, and the Emerald City Comic Con. (Which was great. I met some really excellent people there, and got some things that I really enjoyed.)
Starting to get some ideas together, work on some plans, see about finding more things to talk about. I’ve been kind of quiet lately, but with spring coming, I’m hoping that I start to take off and do things.
things are still moving around here. I’m working on a new header image, because I want something a bit better than I have already. It should be just as simple, just enough to make things interesting.
Keep watching – I plan to keep going.
Are you in the Seattle area?
Then you should go to WordCamp Seattle.
I also suggest you sign up at the WordPress Seattle site and with the the Seattle WordPress Meetup.com site.
Because the more people involved the better it gets.
It’s January 17 and I haven’t posted since before Christmas. It was a busy time – I am in Seattle now, but my family is on the East Coast, so I went back there for a couple of weeks, seeing family and friends, catching up on things, and doing the whole visiting-family thing you do when you live on the opposite coast.
In other news, my development machine – my older MacBook Pro – is currently running on its MAMP install the WordPress 3.1 beta, which I am poking at to find holes. I’m also working on some stuff with theme design, learning that, which involves learning PHP.
I’m also working on a new header graphic for the page, but my art skills, well, don’t really exist, so this is becoming interestingly difficult.
In short: visit back East, now working on more skill enhancements, some of them coming from farther behind that others.
Hope things are good for you! Have a good day.
I’m going to try to write here more often, so that I can keep myself going with my writing.
Hope all is well.
I’m sorry for no updates lately, but I’m traveling for the holidays and that’s put a dent in my thinking time.
Once the new year starts, my hope is to do some more setup tutorials on things
Wordpress, so that the mistakes I make can help other people not make them.
See you in 2011!
My resume has been updated again, obtainable in major formats at the regular place.
That is all.
I’m posting this as part of the demonstration I’m doing for the Seattle WordPress group, on crossposting to social media.
Once this goes up, it’ll show up on Twitter at @geoffdepew and on the Facebook for Geoffrey Depew.
I think I understand now what I messed up for comments. If anyone has tried to comment here on the WordPress site, and been unable to, I apologize.
It snowed here yesterday.
Now, while this may not be surprising for many of you, where I’m from in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area, we haven’t had real snow before Christmas in… wow. Somewhere in the 1980s. So having snow here was interesting and kind of special.
Thanksgiving preparation continues.
…that this year is the first Thanksgiving that I will spend away from my family since the mid-90s.
I wouldn’t be there regardless – if I had not been laid off from Citigroup, I would have been working that day. (The department I was in had to have people there every day, including weekends and holidays. We rotated through Saturdays, and then had weekends. The first year I was there, I had Labor Day stuck to me, which was a pain because I had originally planned to go to a gathering in Atlanta, Ga, that happens over Labor Day weekend; this would have been the second full year there, and I would have been stuck with Thanksgiving.)
I plan to call on Thursday, maybe see if I can get them on Facetime or iChat and talk to people, including my niece and nephews, just to say hello.
But yeah, it’s kind of interesting this year.
