Relaunch

Welcome to the new and improved EndOfLevelBoss!

Nine months ago I decided to stop blogging, thanks to a combination of frustrations with WordPress, the end of my yearly web-hosting contract, and my general lack of writing ability. In that time I’ve started reading a lot of excellent blogs, such as raganwald and Coding Horror, to name just a couple.

Thanks to some of these blogs, and the books their authors have recommended, I feel as though my passion for software has been rekindled, or perhaps, more accurately, it has been kindled; I feel more passionate about developing good, relevant software than I ever have, and it’s a great feeling.

NotebooksIt wasn’t just good blogs that persuaded me to relaunch this site, though, it was also the incessant nagging of many of my friends, most notably mope. Thanks dude (even if you don’t like this design as much as the previous one).

The theme of this design is “hand-drawn”. I tend to sketch out layouts and ideas before I implement them, and while sketching out my thoughts for a new design I realised that I spend most of my time scribbling in notebooks. It seemed to make sense to have a website that matched my scribblings!

It’s a work in progress, but let me know what you think of it. Even you, mope. :)
