Weird, I’ve spent so much time this week messing about with the blog, I realised just now that I hadn’t actually posted anything lately.
Jakob Nielsen struck again this week, his newsletter being the somewhat apt, 10 Design Mistake of Weblogs.
I realised I was guilty of more than a couple of these, so have spent some time rectifying the situation, reinstating the ‘about me’ section that I removed months ago and forgot to replace, and putting the entries into categories for easier searching of related posts.
All good fun.
I’ve been writing a lot as well, Architurusing away, really trying to focus on each scene and make it as dramatic and interesting as possible. It’s so easy to knock out a really turgid scene and not notice, because you’re stuck in the flow.
I stuck a post-it note on the top of my laptop monitor with the word ‘conflict’ on it as I tend to write people being nice to each other. Not great viewing.
I watched Garden State tonight. I really enjoyed it, but found the last two minutes a little disappointing. It seemed a bit rushed, or something, (having spent an hour an a half not going terribly fast). Some good acting and thoughtful direction though.
