Part of my diploma at North Metropolitan TAFE was a live-works project redeveloping the website for Public Libraries WA.

My team and I took what was an outdated Joomla site and revitalised it into a sleek, modern experience. The old site was built back in 2009, had security flaws and lacked responsive design, rendering it nigh unusable on mobile devices.

We rebuilt it from the ground up using WordPress paired with a custom theme built using Tailwind and a tailor-made plugin to perfectly fit our client’s needs.

It was awesome working with Emily Drage, Zoe Chan, and Maria Benic on this.

Say what you will, the phrase “hacked up, bastardized simulacra” is genuinely pretty awesome. I suppose we at least got something out of this mess.

Saw a guy sprinting through the city with a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt on.

It took a hideous amount of restraint not to yell “GOTTA GO FAST!”

I see a lot of stuff gain traction that I’d have figured is too well known, too obvious, or too low effort. I need to do more stuff.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take after all.

Coming around to that time of the year when I update and refine all my configs. I’ve got a lot of notes on what needs work.

Should be rad.
