and we’re back

Hi.

I’m back.

Yeah, it’s been a crazy time, lots of annoying things happening at Node Six (getting a laptop stolen can be more chaotic than you expect) but there are even more exciting things happening at Node Six. Kizito Katawonga (of The Master’s Apprentice fame) joined Node Six as Executive Director, which means my role is even more bureaucratically ambiguous than ever. We’re also going through a back-to-the-roots training session on everything we do, from coding to customer support. Another run at Kaizen on our part.

On a personal level, I’m dealing with a lot more stuff than usual, but thankfully, it’s beginning to make sense and all the issues are finally falling in place. So yeah, I’ve been taking a slow stroll in the shady back alleys of Life Boulevard, but despite all the drama, I’m very psyched up about it, because I finally realized how I got stuck in this rut in the first place.

Now, about this blog. I’ve been thinking about its direction for many months now, about how much personal stuff to throw in, and how much professional stuff to throw in. Until it hit me that I’ve actually been blogging about the stuff I’m passionate about; ( Life, Design, Technology, Business ) so that makes everything alright. And not to mention I’ve been told by numerous people that they found some of the stuff I share pretty helpful, so yeah, I’ll continue along the same vein, but tone down on the personal stuff. Not that there’s been much of it anyways.

And yeah, I changed the design, I love this template! Much simpler, much cleaner, much lighter. I’ve thrown in a few plugins to make sharing and bookmarking the posts easier. I’ve also added a Social Sphere, where you can follow me in my wanderings around the web. Right now it’s just Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and LinkedIn, more will come later.

This design is going to stay a while, hopefully, but I’ll be making small changes and tweaks with time.

Look forward to talking to you guys again!

    Sleek is right the new king is more palatable. I definitely like this look, and any more seats on the board?

    • Solomon King  on May 19th, 2009

      Hehehe, the board is currently full. Considering I’m now redundant.

      Glad you like the look. Come around more often, will you?
