Don’t Worry, I’m Still Bored

Ta-Da!

Introductions Are In Order…

It finally set upon me that calling the site “Boredom” and having the web address be valloq.com wasn’t making a whole lot of sense. At first I was gonna grab www.riclim.com and make my site into e.riclim.com, but being able to have the entire url spell out the site name is so much cooler.

You’d be amazed at how many .us domains are taken — www.icio.us (by del.icio.us, of course), www.aculo.us (by script.aculo.us), and practically all the good ones are gone. I lucked upon www.umptuo.us when I tried searching for s.umptuo.us and almost settled for that, but pres.umptuo.us is such a sweeter name.

So here we are, a brand new name, brand new address, but the same ol’ content.

I Can Use Photoshop

I’m hoping everyone finds this new design a lot more pleasing. The old boredom look was just feeling too spaced out and unorganized. Working at a design firm for the past year has really helped me in understanding the basics behind design. Everything is pretty close to final now from what you’re seeing, although I imagine I’ll tweak it here and there, and if anyone sees something that’s off, please let me know.

Yes, They’re Coming Back

I know, everyone wants the babes back. They’ll be back soon. When? I don’t know…the launch of pres.umptuo.us took me about a month, so I’d expect the same amount of time for the babes to be back. And yes, they’ll have a new name as well.
