It’s time to come out of hibernation, remove the tompian from my arse and have a look around for a good ol’ meal. My tummy is rumbling and the legs are a bit shaky, but dozing in a dark cave is getting a bit lonely and my mind needs a challenge again.

Standardzilla packed it in for a while and I haven’t posted anything new since the end of last year. There have been many reasons for this, including:

Site Design

The site is falling apart… I don’t mean visually but I kind of designed and developed this blog with no idea how I was going to use it or what kind of content I was going to publish. This means publishing a post is a painful hack of inline styles and fishing around for common code patterns I have found useful. A redesign is in order here to keep me sane.

Getting Hitched

I got married. I often thought this wouldn’t consume my life but it actually did as it was overseas and I was, well, quite into it. So a few things dropped in priorities and lots of that was web related.

Lacking Mojo

I lost it for a while there. I don’t know where it went or how it happened but the comedown from Web Directions South last year saw me getting a little sick of all things web-related. I had to just retreat and stop being consumed by this online lifestyle and lose myself in things non-web related and re-evaluate my passion for what I do for a living.

You will be glad to know it’s coming back slowly, with a new focus on what’s important and what I want to get from this industry and how I want to approach things, including this blog. Standardzilla 2008 season is open and there will be more to come (for those who haven’t ditched me from there readers yet).

Stay tuned for more details in the weeks and months to come, I just have to go out and get myself a snack… I haven’t eaten in months.
