it's been one week since you looked at me
I got called "he who never updates" the other day, and it is true. And I apologize. I guess I'm not the blogger I used to be. I've changed, moved on, something. But I can't say I don't miss it. Because I do.
I write about writing now, and tonight I write about writing code. Check out the new italianolio.com today. I've always been the designer for it, and this is no different. It's more meaningful to Ed and myself than anyone else, but I like it anyway. I don't code extremely complicated stuff, but I hope it is at least visually pleasing.
Writing code is an art, if you don't cheat with a program like Dreamweaver. I code by hand, which may be a reason I can't get complicated, but simplicity is important. Code may seem like jibberish to the layperson, but to me it is graphic, legible. It's like when the characters in the Matrix read those scrolling green letters and see what's happening. Once you know what it's saying, you don't need to see it rendered by anything, the code is enough.
Coders are amazing, by hand. It's an art, just like writing a poem or a novel (both of which I'm trying to write). I find writing web pages fulfilling, even if it isn't the best stuff you've ever seen. I like it. Enough other people like it. Go figure.
I'll try to be better about updated. Heck, I don't even know how many people come here anymore...

Nikki still comes here, I'm sure, and chanceuse/killingmoon/new mom as well. I don't know who else besides that, though. Still, I look forward to fresh Asher, so keep it coming.

Hahahaha, I'm now referred to as chanceuse/killingmoon/new mom? That's the best thing I've heard in FOREVER. =)
And still....your updating skills are severely lacking, my dear. Work on it.
