IzzMedia Launched!

Finally, it's out there. After 2 years of getting the domain and not doing anything with it, izzmedia.net is now online.

It took so long because...well, I found out that I was a hard client to please. I kept rejecting my own designs. But seeing my buddy Benjamin swiftly launch his website lights a fire under me, and I finally roll my sleeves and party like a monkey!....umm, I mean get my website done. Not much content at the moment, it's an ongoing process. I stick with my original choice for the CMS (sNews) despite toying with other CMSs like CMSMadeSimple, Wordpress, etc. So far, it's good.

I had intended IzzMedia to be my online design portfolio, but along the way I decided to include other personal contents as well. So now it's like a mish-mash of foods - imagine a plate full of sushi and donuts, sprinkled with mustard and honey on top. With coleslaw on the side. Aggh, that doesn't sound good...

What will become of Izzatics? For the time being, it'll remain alive. I might still post stuff here every now and then. But IzzMedia will be my priority site. It's been great.

Approaching...the end?

Since over a week ago, I risked my well-being to 'reset' myself. Ideally, to 1997 levels. No easy task, but doing just fine so far. Slowly and surely. The weather is surprisingly on my side, too - it only rained in the evenings, which gave me ample time early in the morning.

With this reset, I probably had to welcome back some stuff that I had left behind. My old nature, my fear, my ability...my old friend. Early next month I'll reflect to see whether I'm any closer to my goal or not.

Setting up some stuff on my domain (izzmedia) so I am currently toying with the idea of fully utilizing IzzMedia as my online presence, which in turn will have me leaving Blogger. Unlike some, I rarely experienced problems with Blogger, it's been a real blast to blog here. Or maybe I'll just turn my domain as my web/graphic design work repository, and maintaining this blog for my personal stuff still. Still deciding...most likely I'll have the answer by next week.

The end? Maybe...maybe not. We'll see.
