Modx and stuff

Since my last post I have been working on some more html and css based projects for Pixillion.  This time I have been able to use the Modx content manager to build the website on along with Filezilla.  Modx seems to make so much sense I found it really quite easy to adapt to in comparison to my previous content management experience.  I'm glad Ive been able to start using a new tool to increase my experience.  Its good I've finally started using Filezilla too, its so easy to use and everyone uses it but I haven't been bothered up until now. It took me a week to build the site from the psd files given to me as there were some complicated areas involving transparency backgrounds and scalable divs.  It seemed like I had finished it by Wednesday but I always seem to find stuff to mess around with for days.  Today Ive been working on the Flash games again getting them translated and fully functional for the new site.   I think they're finally done now, its crazy, something I was sure was only going to take me 5 minutes this morning has turned into a 5 hour job.  The trouble is now I have hit my first work wall, being that today for Pixillion is dedicated to their new site I am unable to help there, and the Andromeda stuff isn't planned to come through until tomorrow. I'll find out in a minute whether its home time for me, or whether I can manage to waylay myself for another 3 hours.  Not that I mind, I was expecting to be finished before lunch and thought I might go home to eat but now its turned out that I'm still here and haven't taken a lunch break at all.  I knew this morning when I was a few minutes late in due to traffic that it would be one of those days with nothing for me to do.  I hope the Andromeda stuff comes through tomorrow, I don't want to come in to find I have very little to do. Oh well they've managed to keep me busy so far...
