Old BBS screen

There was quite a long time ago I saw a nice BBS screen so this image feels really nostalgic. I used to be really good at making ASCII drawings, sadly that is one computer related interest you can never make ANY money on anytime soon, but it was a fun hobby for some years.

This screenshot is taken on an Amiga and the font is substituted to a cooler looking one, perhaps the stock font called "Topaz" rings a bell.

Old VS new style of web development

I have been doing homepages for a couple of years now and the need for dynamic sites with custom solutions is increasing, gone are the days of designing a template in Photoshop, getting an approval and exporting it to a cut and past table in ImageReady, all in one evening - todays clients have bigger demands.

But dynamic sites means a lot of work, or it used to mean that...

I got the same sence of rush and finish style of work when I worked on a community based site with Drupal tonight. It is amazing to think that 4 hours ago I did not have a CMS, a Blog system, internal PM, secure login system, file upload, profile page. Now it is almost ready to ship.

How amazing!
