Last Day of Holiday

27th August 2006 - Category: Life

Meh, back to work tomorrow (oh wait David might read this) Yay, back to work tomorrow :)

Been having a good relax, I feel a lot better, I lost half a stone probably due to all that relieved stress, thank god I don’t work in marketing otherwise I’d have gained a lot more.

My mate John is looking to get his finger out and build a portfolio, I hope he does, unlike every other time he has said so. He has a real talent, but like me he needs a foot up his arse to get him moving sometimes.

Lol, the award for most over cooked PING dialogue has to go to Speedtest.net. Below is an example result from this amazing, if slightly pointless service.

Testing Microsoft Windows Live Writer

16th August 2006 - Category: Site News

I heard about Microsoft Windows Live Writer on Buzz Out Load my favourite tech talk show. So far it seems pretty good, I realise it is Beta, but hay isn’t everything these days. The funniest thing I heard on BOL was that having a Girlfriend was like being in relationship Beta, Tom admited that his relationship went gold a couple of years back. Any ladies looking to go alpha over dinner can direct their comments below, hahahaha!

p.s. as mentioned on BOL, WLW doesn’t support creation of new categories :( otherwise seems okay.

David Lanham’s Amora

2nd August 2006 - Category: Design, Desktop

 I use DL’s Agua at home as it is an excellent system replacement icon set. He has recently released a new set called Amora. It’s style is based on the video for ‘All is Full of Love‘ By Bjork. I love how David remembers to do res-specific icons something few creators remember to do. Check it out!
