What the heck is going on, you ask? Say hello to Tersus.

Bare bones? You got it. Tersus is an achingly simple WordPress theme without all the usual cruft. Please pardon the mess. This child theme is still under development.

Tools of the Trade

What tools do you use to get your job done on a day to day basis? I’ve been thinking about this more and more often at work. What do you use that improves your productivity? I’ve prepared a list below of things I use on a daily basis… Would love to know what other people are using out there!

Project Management
Basecamp – I use Basecamp at work and for the limited number of independent projects I have on my plate. The fact that I can easily collaborate with clients through Basecamp to see a project through completion is a great thing! Basecamp makes us look more professional, too.
Billing
Blinksale.com – Before BlinkSale, I struggled to remember what invoices I have outstanding. The $6/month I pay for BlinkSale to keep on top of what I have outstanding is more than worth the expense.
Blogging
I use Blogger to publish blog entries. I tend to write most of them in w.Bloggar, a stand-alone app that plays nicely with the Blogger API.
Graphic Design
I use Adobe Creative Suite – PhotoShop CS, Illustrator CS and InDesign CS – for graphic design work. All websites I design start as concepts in PhotoShop or Illustrator.
Web Development
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 for working with code, but I never leave home without Notepad. I figure if you’re going to work with HTML, CSS, etc. you better know how to get your hands dirty.
