Wow. Is this thing still here? I’ve been notified that it’s been a while since I posted last. Guess I should update, huh?
Work
Work is busy. Really busy. We’re moving to new software package to manage pretty much everything at work. That wouldn’t normally be a huge deal for me, since I don’t work with donors or accounting or missionaries. But…
There’s a ton of stuff that will go on the web. So I’m in—we’re redoing the missionary portal to give them easier access to all of their data. It’s a big project. Other big work projects: website realignment, two ministry websites, a very-custom blog (though that actually just launched (still have some tweaking to do), and some other stuff I can’t remember right now.
Side Job
I don’t just do web stuff at work—I also do freelance web design. Right now, I’m mostly contracting with Asta’s employer. We launched a site late last month—some good pro bono work. (note to self: put together a portfolio area of the site.) I’ve also done a couple of small projects for them, updating various files and such, and we’re pretty close on two more sites.
I’m also redoing our church’s site—linked is the current site. It’ll be going away, soon, hopefully. The church has a new logo and has some cool collateral, so it’d be nice to unify a bit. Plus, the new site will be a ton easier to update. It’s functionally there; we’re working on content right now.
The rest of life: biking
I got a 2007 Trek 3700 mountain bike earlier this summer and have been riding it all over the place. We’re close to a bunch of trails, and I think I remember reading that Minneapolis has been ranked one of the best urban mountain biking areas in the country. There’s a really good community online (and on the trails, too.) Plus, we moved closer to work at the beginning of the summer—I’m 2.5 miles from the office now—so I ride my bike in as often as possible. The weather’s not been cooperating lately for mountain biking, but when it does, it’s great.
In conclusion
So maybe I’ll keep updating the site—hopefully so, but my life is pretty boring. Let me know if there’s something you want to hear about.
