Say hello to Gluco

Some of you may have visted firesuite before. It used to be the home of my vlog, but since I’ve not updated it for ages, and I don’t see myself having any inclination to do so again, I thought the domain was too good to waste.

So, I thought I’d use it for a project I’ve been thinking about for a while. Say hello to Gluco. It’s the first theme that I’ve made for Rapidweaver that I’m making commercially available, and it can be yours for the bargain price of $12.99 (US). You can find out more about it at firesuite. A screenshot is after the jump.

All change

Sketch book

Well, haven’t I been a busy boy? I’ve no idea why I just asked that since it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll know the answer. Anyway, the answer is an emphatic YES!

Incase you didn’t know, I’m currently in my last year of university. And that’s a pretty busy time, with final project deadlines looming and trying to get a job. And that has meant I’ve let things slip around here - particuarly by using a pre-built WordPress theme. I know, it’s bad for a web developer to use someone else’s theme.

So, I’ve been working on a new one. It’s not quite finished yet, and I’ve not even looked at it in IE yet (although this may be the one where I finally tell people with IE6 to bugger off. I don’t think I can deal with that pain without being paid for it ;) ), but I’m hoping it will be up either this weekend or the next. So look forward to that (I bet you’re all on the edges of your seats aren’t you?).

Speaking of looking for a job for after I graduate (see what I did there?), if you are looking for or know anyone that’s looking for a full time web developer, could you be so kind as to be directed towards my portfolio site at http://grahamgilbert.com. Ta very much my lovelies.

Unsleepable for RapidWeaver

I started working on this mainly so I could learn how to make themes for the wonderful RapidWeaver, but it turned out good enough (I hope) to release. It’s basically a port of unsleepable (a variation of which is on this site). So here it is, if you have any suggestions, comments or whatever, feel free to drop me a line.

Note that this site does not use RapidWeaver. It uses WordPress.
