Continuing the tradition of annual posts on dfpx.co.uk, I thought I should take the opportunity to point out a site that isn’t finished yet. Strange behaviour, you may think, but there is reason!

You might have noticed that certain tech-related posts have disappeared from this journal recently. The reason is that while this is a quiet corner of the web, I’d prefer it to at least be a focused quiet corner, rather than one that wandered too far off track. Part of the reason is that a number of my client’s sites still point here, if they’ve opted to have a link in their footer, and while that’s the case I’d like to maintain a tidy shop front. It’s just more professional.

This leaves the question for me of where to put things that I’ve been working on away from the world of web design, which is where the new site comes in. It’s called birdslikewires.co.uk and I’m going to treat it like a public scrapbook, remembering things I’d prefer not to forget and providing them to the world on the off chance they’re handy to other people. Tech stuff, bits of code; that kind of thing.

The nice thing is that I don’t have to set myself a deadline for it, so if you’d like to see how it’s progressing, feel free to pop by any time.

The name? Well, it sounds a bit tecchy and I’m quite proud that this site had sparrows waaay before Twitter. ;)
