Just realized that it's been two days since I posted in this blog. I had a streak going of a few months there, but this weekend we had company over, actually two sets of company, and totally spaced posting something. Maybe I should change the format to only post something useful? Then I'd have to change the name of the blog I guess...
This weekend, and some on Friday, I finally got around to setting up a portfolio site. You can find mine here. It's pretty simple, and there's not a lot of customization except colors from the standard Refills elements.
I decided a few months ago to focus on using just a few technologies for web sites in order to stay focused as much as possible. My list so far includes:
- Flask as the server.
- Ember.js for JavaScript framework.
- Bourbon Refills for design framework.
- Jekyll for static sites.
- PostgreSQL for database.
- SQLAlchemy for ORM.
So as you can imagine the portfolio site is a Jekyll site using Bourbon Refills and for the hero unit background I used the very cool Trianglify project. I also used this for the device backgroun on the BarcodePOST project page.
I've been thinking that I might have to find an additional design framework because the last couple of sites sort of look a lot alike. I could also customize the sites more though.
I might just need a better layout technique than a center column with different sections...
Party On!
