This weekend I…

• re-designed this here website
  as I mentioned in my self-absorbed post (what post on a personal website isn’t self-absorbed?) of last week, I’ve been feeling somewhat uninspired. So I’ve gone back to ‘asides’-type postings, this time for news articles I find interesting and have brief comments on (not grammatical, but shorter that ‘on which I have brief comments’). Google Reader is for articles I’ve read, Tumblr is for crime news I found noteworthy, and del.icio.us is for interesting sites. Friendfeed aggregates almost everything.
• made something from scratch that tasted really good
  Neil cooked it but I prepared and marinaded all the ingredients myself, while Neil was being manly and doing DIY-type things. I still do not enjoy cooking, but I do enjoy discovering new dishes because I get bored with food really easily (case in point — after months of eating yoghurt-covered cereal back in 2006/2007 and stopping because I got really tired of it, I tried it this morning with plain yoghurt, honey and cereal, and it almost gave me the boak).
• considered doing a web programming course
  I’ve been toying with the idea of doing some additional training in web geek stuff since my sparkling personality can only get me so far (heh). Somehow I have managed to get a job that involves a lot of social media and general webbiness (no I haven’t changed jobs, I’ve just made it more, er, mine), and I really want to learn about web application development. I need some advice here — basically I need to know if the Master CIW Website Manager course is worthwhile. I’m calling the course advisor this week to find out more, but if anyone out there has had experience with it, please tell me if you think it’s worth doing.
