welcome

i've built a new website.

after more than 5 years (Aug 2004 - Jan 2010) of same gray/blue layout as you can see it below (which lasted all those years without looking old ;) and after some heavy personal disturbances in my life lately, I've decided to kick some butt here. perhaps install wordpress (neat toy i must admit) just for fun and use some plain, simple and minimalist template... but naaah! although some of them did took my attention - I'm still a website developer for money so it's just not right to base my own website on someone others template. and i don't want anything outside my root (mysql) either.

making it

so one forenoon of boredom and a few hours of coding css, html and php brings this white baby. a few days more for polishing the code and text rewriting. visually influenced by one wordpress template, but build entirely by hand from the scratch. same as my old website, it's based entirely on pure css, xhtml that passes the w3c validation, it's fast loading with no flash-crap, uses very few ajax jquery libraries whilst going even further as it uses much more php power to manage all bits and pieces in one place that looks clean, runs stable and respect standards among browsers. code files that runs the whole site weights skiny 56Kb. the rest are jpegs in photo galleries, mp3s in my music folder, some zips that forms the apps section and a few pngs like this one above.

all in all, i like it very much. i wanted something white, clean, empty, open, minimalist, aesthetic, and i'm proud of the result. have a nice look around;

while finishing the site i've encountered there's neat date coming on. a palindrome! so i waited a week more to launch new site on - February 1. 2010. which, using numbers, looks like 01. 02. 2010., or nicely symmetrical 0102-2010 :)
