Almost There – Been a Busy Week

Posted on April 29, 2010

Whoo, I’m almost done with all of my deadlines. It’s been an extremely busy two weeks. 9 deadlines in 12 days but at least I’m not bored. My Washington client has a convention this weekend and all of their clients wanted their sites done before the 30th, both site builds and design comps. Add that on top of two other clients of mine and you’ve got a full work schedule.

Hopefully once the payments come in I’ll be able to head down to Miami and check out that white and black CBR600 and trade up the motorcycle. That’s the plan anyway but we all know about best laid plans.

Almost Ate It…

Posted on April 23, 2010

Several times. After months of riding a motorcycle around town I decided to take the bicycle out for a ride yesterday afternoon and hit the walking trail on Palm Beach Island. The first few blocks were awkward at best as I’m so used to the weight of the motorcycle that taking a simple corner on the bicycle made me look like I’d never been on a bike in my life. Wobbly and unnerving, like watching a kid learn to ride.

I’m sure there were a handful of people who got a good chuckle out of my plight. Regardless it was a good ride and except for the almost eating it several times and running into a swarm of nats it was fun.

Deadlines, deadlines…

Posted on April 20, 2010

Being swamped with work is both good and bad. I’m thinking it’s a good thing at the moment though the daunting task of completing 8 or so deadlines before the end of the month is going to be a challenge. I’m pretty sure I’m up for it. It’s just time to get the nose to the grindstone and get it all done.

Two of my own clients need their site done by the end of the month as well as four site builds for my client in Washington, a design comp for them as well as additional changes and adjustments to older projects. At least I’m busy.

Once the month is over everything should be back to normal but until then, let’s get this done!

Up At 4:30

Some days I just seem to wake up and can’t get back to sleep so what the hell, I guess I’ll just get up and get some work done. It’s now 5 am and I’m showered, dressed and sipping on a fresh cup of coffee. The sun’s not due to come up for another couple hours but here I am typing away.

Not sure why but the last few days I’ve been waking up at 3am on the dot, regardless of what time I go to bed. This morning I just decided, instead of fighting to get back to sleep I’ll get up and see what I can get done. I can always take a nap later in the day so we’ll see.

I haven’t used an alarm clock since I my last in-office position and now that I’m a freelancer there’s all kinds of freedom to work when you want… even when you’re not really up for working at 5am.

    Damien Komala - web designer

    I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.

    Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
