Not Updating
Monday, April 29, 2013
This blog is dead for quite some while.
If you are still reading this, it might be one of the few reasons.
1. You are curious about the domain name which I used to share some files.
Even in this post-megaupload, web 3.0 era where pretty much everyone uses Dropbox to share stuff.
I trust my super-fast paid hosting more than those stuff. Some things are just here to stay.
2. You somehow managed to find it through Google thanks to the Search Engine Optimization tactics I have used a few years ago.
Anyway, if you are curious, just look around at the blog. It's sort of like one of those small personal projects you would sometimes do when you were a kid.
Things have progressed too fast through these years. Let's see...
4 years ago, Flash was rampant and AJAX was the next big thing.
Hmm...
now Flash is still here to stay, but it's presence is only for desktop Youtube and Facebook. Software that works will live for a long time, even if there's some big company that tried to kill it.
Now web design.. is no more kids game.
Maybe we should remove the term "web design" from our dictionaries.
Web Developer is the new correct term and probably only term.
You need strong coding skills to stay up to date in the back end of the internet.
Flatness is the Cool thing now in interface design. Back then, I probably wondered why designers loved skeuomorphic elements when simple flat colors will cut it nicely. Plus, it is easier to design the flat stuff.
Lets' see... the layout of this blog was designed with flatness in mind, while pathetically trying to fit into the design paradigm back then by putting a bit of gradients here and there...
I probably learn so much new stuff that I feel that some choices I made back then should not be made. Too many things to list down...
Probably will update when I really feel like it, but till then... see ya.
