Going public

Posted in News,Personal,work by steve on the January 16th, 2012

I registered the stevemccabe.net domain five years ago, and while I’ve used @stevemccabe.net email as my main addresses since the beginning, this website has very much been a work in progress. But, finally, at long last, as part of plans to revamp my entire life (and, wow, doesn’t that sound dramatic?), I’ve finally got round to completing what was a rather embarrassing work in progress.

Just as the cobbler’s children go barefoot, so it was both obvious and pathetic that a web designer and computer consultant’s website has languished lo these many years. I’ve built sites for clients, I’ve blogged relentlessly, but I’ve not maintained my very own web presence. Well, for shame, for shame.

And so here is the new, the revised, the all up-to-date SteveMcCabe.net website. More about me than you ever really wanted to know. And, despite being complete for now, it’s still only a 1.0 release. At least it’s finally out beta, but there’s still work to be done. While this front page is generated in WordPress, the inside pages are all static html; one of these days (and it’ll be a bugger of a job) I’ll get round to converting the whole site, and then I’ll add a “Search” box in the left sidebar, perhaps. And then I need to start uploading photos — lots of photos.

But for now I’m happy just to enjoy the fact that I’ve managed to cross another item off my “to do this summer” list.

Getting hired

Posted in Teaching,work by steve on the January 28th, 2010

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally lined up a new job — I’ve been hired to teach physics at Papakura High School, down in the southern reaches of Auckland. Start-of-year meetings kicked off this morning; we have the long weekend coming up, then the students show up on Tuesday, and classes begin in earnest on Thursday. I’m glad I got a decent amount of progress made on this site before term started, of course, but getting myself prepared will now be the priority, and so I’ll keep the site ticking over, but won’t be adding an awful lot for a week or so while I focus on my new job.
