freelancing

Since sometime mid-September I've been working on a website for a local watercolor artist (who is--conveniently--my good friend Kate). I obtained this job by having our mutual friend Lyla (also a CS major) move to Rwanda. I'm actually quite grateful to be doing freelance (emphasis on the free) for somebody. It's a good learning experience as well as fun. Working for a friend has been interesting. On one hand it's very chill and relaxed because we know each other. On the other hand I often have to bug her to respond to my emails.

The site is coming along well despite the lag. We're still playing with the design, so what you see below is likely close to the finished appearance but not necessarily exact.

I prefer to use highly advanced tools (like MS paint) when marking-up spacing.



I've been using Chrome's developer tool feature lately (it's that thing that comes up if you right click and choose "Inspect element"), but sometimes I open something in Firefox solely to use the firebug plugin. Firebug has an awesome layout feature.



On a side note, redundancy is fun. I once found two names followed by "BFFs forever" scribbled in bathroom stall.
