A Blue Perspective: Birthday #1

Birthday #1
27 November 2004

It was exactly this day a year ago that I tentatively put up The Man in Blue.

I hoped that people would like it, that someone might link to it, but I've been overwhelmed by the response to the design (now a little old fashioned) and the sprinkling of articles that I've managed to sneak past my editor (that part of my brain which precipitates embarassment).

Since then I've become part of a fantastic, forward thinking and friendly community of web developers who have taught me so much and are really making the Internet a better place. We've progressed so much in just 365 days, who knows where we'll be in 3650?

Here's a few personal highlights from those halcyon days:

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this site, whether it be through insightful comments or useless ear bashing. Here's hoping I can do at least one more good thing in the second year!

Good job. For Birthday #2 I expect you to be blogging from SF, USA. Carpe Diem or some such thing...

Been coming here for a while now and I always appreciate your attention to detail. Happy B-day, o' Man in Blue, and many more!

Now, back to banging my head on the wall trying to get my XHTML/CSS design to work :(

Happy birthday, my man. You've earned every bit of recognition you've received over the last year

Now... where's the party?

We had it at your place last weekend, remember? Geeze, you must have been *really* drunk.

Yeah, I remember that you didn't show up!

Which means you will never get to gaze in wonder at my awesome collection of books, housed in the magnificent bookcase of doom - unless, of course, you come to another of my parties sometime

Besides, it is summer. We need more parties! I say, "Party at Cameron's house". Who's with me?

I'm with you, party at Cameron's I say, someone rig up a poll or something, we need some popular support.
