Today, I overcame a hurdle and made a decisive shift in direction. I finally fixed all the back-end server crap—backups, domain transfers, fresh installations, and so forth—that I needed in order to finally be able to build out my portfolio site.

I also stopped working for the guy who’d been sub-contracting me out, and decided not to take on any more pure development work. If it’s design, I’ll do it, because design, not development, is my calling.
