Senior web developer-designer-graphic artist-software engineer-system administrator.

I don't normally write about personal things on this blog, but I wanted to explore this idea I've had floating around for a while. The bottom line: there is just no all-encompassing title for the do-it-all web professional.

Sunburst Geshi CSS pack

As some of you may or may not know, I'm completely redesigning my blog. Actually, this is the first time I've had time to design my blog in the first place. Anyhow, one of my major requirements for the new design is excellent code syntax highlighting support.

FW: Diary of a Web Developer: Guiding the client from wireframes to design

Pete Karl, a colleague and developer at GateHouse Media, wrote an excellent blog post summarizing a current project we're working on. He outlines some best-practice guidelines for project management, from the early discovery stages to wireframing to first-draft design mockups. It's well worth the read.

My entry into the ‘Cool Kids with Cameras Cooking Club’ - Grilled Hawaiian Pork Tenderloin

Well, after being one-upped, two-upped and three-upped by Pete and Lauren, I decided to go out and get myself a snazzy new grill so I can get back into the cooking scene. When I say 'back into', I mean 'start'. My psuedo-chef position at Wegmans doesn't count, I don't think.

So 1and1 kills Subversion this morning. Goodbye, 1and1.

This morning, while walking into the doors of the BCEC for another wonderful (and last) day at Drupalcon Boston 2008, I run my normal routine. What does that consist of? Well, nearly everything I do is either preceded or followed by some sort of Subversion interaction.

Wufoo is hot. Seriously.

Let's face it, building HTML forms and the processing behind them sucks. Alot. In fact, it sucks so much, that one group decided they'd build a product to help alleviate some of the pains of form building. And, well frankly, it rocks. It's Wufoo, and I have got to stop typing 'Wafoo'.

Oy - I’m now a ‘Twitteree’.

Yeap, I was jealous of seeing Pete's Twitter thing all the time on his desktop, so I figured I'd join the party. You can find me here: http://www.twitter.com/nicksergeant.

And oh yeah, I know, I'm working on that part III for Drupal theming. I've just been busy... getting my Wii tennis score up (2201, what what?).

Uh - 'Twitteree'?

Wicked Local re-launches on our Zope platform, with some new threads

A few weeks ago, we (GateHouse Media) re-launched our Wicked Local brand on our Zope platform. I've been quite busy with post-launch items, so this is the first chance I've had to blog about it. The site is comprised of 158 community sites, behind a central WickedLocal.com Blog. The blog itself lives on WordPress, but when you begin to dig a bit deeper, you'll hit our Zope-powered sites. For example:
