about the 4091 site

I built this website because I said I would about six years ago. I've approached this project so many times that it just got silly; they say the most difficult client is yourself and it's true. I was never quite sure what I wanted to show up until now and I could never settle down on a design. Then I thought about approaching it from a different point of view...

• I got a designer to design it. My strengths lie in developing a website and although I can design to some degree, I would tweak a design until I got sick of it. This way it felt like more of a regular project; designer designs, developer develops. I've changed some tiny things but probably kept 95% of the original design.
• I planned what I wanted from the site and looked into what I might want from it in a years or five years time. The project wasn't to create something for now but also to keep going so that I had a place to document what I was doing and to showcase it.

At the moment the site is in its infancy but I know it will grow. The content is minimal in comparison to what I see it having and I hope that over time it will act as a journal, documenting everything I want to document. From little project ideas, websites I've built, photography and anything else I can think of, it will all be here.

The site now validates and works fine in IE7! I've also used a cheeky CSS hack for IE6, so that nothing appears. I don't like IE6 users, they hurt my brains.
