Recent Events and Projects
Here are some updates to what’s going on. I’ve been working on hard on many different projects, but not a lot of focus on a single project. I’ve been dabbling in encryption and hashing libraries for projects, a design update for stinkbug.net, small updates for HiddenWord.org, bouncing around ideas for a budget application. Plus more.
One thing I’ve been researching a lot lately is simply marketing. Some social media marketing, but probably more than that, just plan old “what works best for this website marketing”, including things like A/B testing, etc. This type of marketing takes a lot of time, effort, and energy. Not to mention testing over and over again. I’m determined to get better in this area though. Finding out what works and what doesn’t work.
I’ve been bouncing around ideas for a stinkbug.net redesign for a while now. I’ll work on it for a little while and then go off to something else. I just can’t seem to focus on it for a very long period of time. My plan is to simplify the design significantly with the hopes that the simplicity of the design will last for years to come. Redesigning this site every year, or even making compatibility updates, is not something I want to be doing all the time. I think I may also start the process of cleaning up some of the older post on this site.
I’ve created a sign up form for anyone that may be interested in getting updated on budget application that I’m thinking about developing. If you’re interested in checking it out, go sign up for updates. This helps give me an idea of how many people are interested or not.
