Getting out of a rhythm?

Filed under: General, Web Design — Mark Goddard @ 5:25 pm on July 3, 2007

Lately I seem to have gotten into a very lazy motion of sitting down to do some work on the computer (ie web development) and ending up doing nothing at all.

It’s starting to get on my nerves a bit when I have some spare time to develop something, ending up with nothing every time.
For example, it’s today that has sparked me to write this. See the image above.
I decided to begin building idarkness, my long term development project which should hopefully generate me some revenue, increase traffic through my websites and generally give me something extra to work on.
I started work on this at around 12pm today and since then all I have to show for it is what can be seen on www.idarkness.net, which isn’t much, by any means.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s classy, clean and modern, but there’s nothing there except a few lines of XHTML and some marginally complex CSS (which isn’t complex).

I must say however that there is only one website I have updated and built upon and thats www.arctic-monkeys.com.
Why? I don’t know, it just seems to be able to grown everytime I do something on it.
Maybe that’s the reason? Maybe it’s because when I do something on the Arctic Monkeys Fansite it actually gets recieved by a lot of people.

In case your wondering what has been added I recently redesigned the mailing list, added features such as the specials pages and added in a bit of ajax javascript trickery (see the navigation bar on the website to the right, highlighted red).

If anyone knows of a way to get out of this rift let me know.

Oh, and I seem to be getting bored of all my music collection and have resorted to playing Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic, which is very techno of me.

What next? Well, maybe after we go to Silverstone at the weekend (woohoo) I’ll feel regenerated and ready to take on the world. Or maybe my ear drums will have burst, my arms and legs ache from 200 miles worth of driving and I just sleep for 2 solid days.
Anyhow, things are looking odd.

    Aaaaaaaw poor you lacking any courage to do a thing!
    About you being bored of your music, don’t worry, I am in that phase at the moment… that might explain why I have taken a liken (or however you write that) to Nirvana… 13 years later…
    I am sure the fact we dont catch each other on msn affects you, stop hiding it and stop denying it! ;]

    It’s simply a case of inspiration.
