April 2006

Another wee re-arrangement of the layout. Was looking to make the whole page less busy. The previous designs had always been overly busy but I kind of like the idea of not having to click into other pages to get to other pages. Still unsure if i like this or not but it is an improvement all the same.

Still really busy on the Thunder – Japan Tour DVD. I’ve finished the main edit and now have to go over them all, apply colour correction. Put in the stereo audio mix then design and build the DVD interface. The deadline is the end of this week so pressure is on!

I had a poss job coming up for a website but I think I may have lost that job. The client was supposed to email me a spec but never did and has not returned my calls which is unfortunate but his loss – well no it pisses me off lots as it means I loose on the cash!

I really need to get myself on a web developing course. This site is now over 2 years old and i have been manually entering and updating as I go. Would be great to have the whole thing database driven and searchable.

I decided to have a creative diversion and redesign this site – hope ya liksey!

so life is generally just pissing me off at the mo and I’m really busy so that’s why i been quiet an dat! Here is a list of tings and tings annoying me:

• Women
• being broke
• low paid jobs
• my penchant for indian women
• bills
• non existent social life!
• not partying
• not been clubbing in years
• i’ve become a bit of a recluse
• not as fun as i used to be
• i bore myself
• still have no music collection from when pooter went boom!
• being a wuss when it comes to quitting smoking
• being unfit
• not being able to afford stuff
• not riding my bike enough

that’ll do for now!

No just really busy and nowt interesting is happening!

Had a nice afternoon with the family – clicky piccie to see! There was a huge trampoline and I managed to knee punch myself in the face giving myself a mild cncussion i think!

Went for a ride this afternoon – Lovely!!

Have some screen grabs of the DVD I’m working on.

Am watching this doco on BBC1 called “Pets are People” and the most inspiring thought has been – YES YOU RAE CRAZY……FOOL! One lady in particular who owns about 8 cats and 3 dogs thinks one of the old cats is about to die. She stated “I came down in the morning and she just looked at me (dramatic pause) She told me (another dramatic pause with a bit of a tearful cough) She told me she was ready. Now you may think I’m crazy but when your per is ready they will tell you and you have to heed them. It’s like loosing a family member, I lost my daughter 23 years ago and its just like that” You are one sad sad C R A Z Y woman! I can appreciat it being very sad. I remember when we had our dog put down but this is bloody ridiculous! Anyway I laughed my a**e off at it.!!!

In other news: Feeling really exhausted. 3 Websites and a DVD on the go with work. Busy boy is I! The DVD is coming along nicely. Its great to finally have a good meaty video project to get my teeth in to. Its jus generally great to be busy even if I am run off my feet.

Meena has booked me Cath and herself into a Speed Dating night in a couple of weeks. They went to one last week and had a giggle so in an attempt to get out more I’m going. Should be a giggle!

Am very very very very busy! – All means money though!

It’s official, I am now no longer a cider drinking thing. VODKA is my drink of choice!!!! That is all.

Well my brother picked me up this morn and off we went to acquire some work orientated equipment. As left the house I filled my lungs with the fresh spring air and exhaust fumes and finally realised – Spring is here.

Started the Thunder Japan Tour DVD today. A couple of weeks of hard editing are in store but it should be cool.

Yes my bank have screwed me. – They have charged me for nothing and I aint happy. Gotta sort this stuff out as I really aint impressed.

Well we are in a new month. oh April my april what will you serve me this year?
