Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

On hirings and movings

Friday | August 29, 2003 | 9:56 am  

Ein­stein was right, time is relative…

It’s been a little more than three weeks since I was given a job offer to work for The Atlanta Journal-​Constitution, in that time I’ve:

  1. Accepted the job offer
  2. Set up to move to Atlanta
  3. Defended my thesis
  4. Moved to Atlanta to a tem­po­rary apartment
  5. Looked for an apartment
  6. Found an apartment
  7. Moved the stuff the movers had into the apartment
  8. Moved some of the stuff our par­ents had into the apartment
  9. I’ve been work­ing at the AJC since the 18th

So while my life has been moving at near rel­a­tivis­tic speeds, to an out­side observer, nearly three weeks has passed, but for me, it’s seemed like maybe a few days.

I’m cur­rently on a dial-​up account until my broad­band is installed, so please pardon the delay between posts until then.

But expect a post in the near future look­ing at news sites’ per­for­mances on dial-up…

please, go ahead and get the site’s per­for­mance on dialup to work better, then tell them to fix our per­for­mance in Austin to be better on dialup … we need some smart folks in Atlanta direct­ing the design of our sites… Next time I’m in Atlanta, I’ll try to come say hi to you guys… Con­grats on the new job, and wel­come to Cox.
