Hello again,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a while, hasn’t it. Things look a little bit different, don’t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I have progressed through my course enough to start seriously considering how and when I am going to start applying for jobs, the need of a proper, well-developed website has became more apparent. That is why I have spent the last week-or-so developing my new portfolio website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created this site using a (temporarily) proprietary static site generator developed by Ryan Bester<\/a>. Alongside using WordPress for this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should not be considered a web developer by any means. This field does not come naturally to me and it baffles me greatly. Things may break, or are already broken, and that will be fixed when I am able to get around to doing it, this is a learning process after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do feel like that I should mention that I am now a director of a company! I am the producer and lead programmer at Grey Cat Games<\/a>, and we are working on our debut title Turn Turn Turn Based!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect various changes, additions, and deletions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tayler<\/p>\n\n\n\n
