resurrecting the black painting.
Alvar Sirlin Design
I make websites.
I am a web designer working with Web Standards (XHTML and CSS). I have overseen scores of sites through, from concept to implementation. The sites I have worked on range the gamut from small portfolio sites to large E-Commerce engines. I am also versed in Adobe Flash and blogging tools such as Wordpress.
As a designer I seek simplicity for clarity.
Apart from web design I have a propensity to draw pictures in pen and ink, so feel free to take a look and contact me for an illustration. For the even more artistically fortified, take a look at my, soon to be, painting website.

At the moment, not only do I create a repository for professional work, but as an all-purpose utility belt.
In my versioned Resources directory I have a library of snippets, scripts, profile bits like places.sqlite for Firefox, and my .bash_profile (I make sym links to the files in the Resources directory). An extensive Icons directory, Maps, Patterns, Vector, and whatever else I experiment with.
At work we have an HTML/CSS Templates repository, and a Fonts repository.
It would be nice to integrate that in my overall Profile, but I don’t know how to do hierarchic stuff like that yet. Our first attempt at keeping a separate Wordpress repository (linked to the source) nested in a project, it caused trouble and got nixed by a programmer.
So, with SVN you can make a truly portable bundle of data, your Design Profile. Much more interesting than hauling data around on a usb stick.
I’ve been playing for hours. Definately addictive, and beautiful.
