Professionalism

Femme-ing out like a crazy

That's really not a very professional headline is it? I should have written something like "Drupal offers interesting structuring possibilities using freetag taxonomies... 'Oh my God I just bought the most awesome dress I can't afford!'"

That's a key difference in the girlygirl geek vs boy/tomboy geek experience. I blow off work to buy dresses instead of blowing off work to go to tech conventions. Well okay actually I'd blow off work for either, but that's because I am an ambiguous girly tomboy, who procrastinates well. (Oooh no! Professional suicide. This whole professionalizing the blog isn't going to work out so well I can already tell.)

Okay that's it for now

So it's 12:02am. I am supposed to be on my way to the airport in about .5 hours if I get my shit together, and i have just launched this new and (semi-improved?) version of the Flink Design web presence.

This is all due to the fact that I am on my way to Blogher and was worried that the site/blog combo I had up last year was just not up to snuff.

From here on in folks, the blogging and improving and basically everything , will happen over here on this shiny new drupal 4.7 site.

Wow, this is what you get when you fall victim to vanity and blind ambition. Tired,and probably with not enough tee-shirts packed for when I arrive in SF.

13th hour professional doubts

It's probably a little dense to be writing here about this.

But it's 11:00pm on the Monday night before Blogher and in a display of hubris I decided that my current web-presence, (ye olde blog, ye olde website) were not appropriate vehicles for my reputation development at the coming confernece.

Unfortunately Summer got in the way of my plans, and after all the vacations/weddings other avoidable events, were taken care of I was left withe about 48hrs to get this up and running on drupal 4.7.

So if it's looking a little dodgy try to bear with me, and assume it'll look even better once the conference has come to a close and I have had time to settle down and get some real work done.
