web design

A long time ago a friend gave me a copy of a book named "The Design of Everyday Things", and that's when I first heard of "Norman Doors".

Norman Doors, as I learned, are doors that are designed so poorly that you have no idea whether you should push or pull them. We've all experienced them, a door with a handle that looks like you should pull it, except your supposed to push the door to open it. Or the opposite.

With 2011 barreling around the corner, I've been busy putting things together to start a new web design, web hosting, and computer programming consulting business here in Alaska.

While my current website is as ugly as it gets, here's a link to my "coming soon" Mat-Su Valley Programming website. As you can tell, I've been giving myself a few minutes every night to get the website set up, as I have plenty more important things to do at the moment.

Sorry folks, I hoped to be able to release the source code I created for a Nagios Web Interface, but after starting on it a few hours ago, I'm giving up on this project. The code works just fine, as you can see from the screenshots below.

The problem is the amount of work it will take to make this code "clean" for public release. It currently has my client name all over it, and removing all those references is just going to take too long. (Unless of course an angel investor wants to contribute a few week's pay into my PayPal account.)
