Oh my that is a first. First time in 5 years of blogging that I don’t actually say anything for an entire month. I’ve been busy…if you’ve seen me in the office, you’ll attest to this fact. Thankfully it’s not been just work, as that would make Khaled a pretty dull boy all around….which [...]
Found this pretty cool calculator at the WWF site. I’m acting like I need 2.1 Earths to support us, you?
Probably been around for a while, but I’ve never actually used the damn thing, to actually see how ‘green’ I am. The honest truth is I think I’m moderately green, in that I do the bare [...]
Nothing new to add to the general conversation of redesigned website to be honest just that this is what has been going on with my thought process lately (ok from yesterday). I’ve been sitting on a redesign for the ‘Kode for many months now. It’s been going on for so long that it’s kind of [...]
I was thinking about this today and basically, blogging involves removing the additional thoughts that are in your head that take up valuable space. Things that you should think about but not necessarily keep in your brain knocking about. That way it leaves you with more time to do other things, like in my case [...]
To the internet. So last week we were offline at casa Khaled. Yes, that’s right, no net access whatsoever. At first I’ve got to admit that I was REALLY angry. Not at anyone but at the situation itself. I mean seriously, my computer felt like it was neutered. I felt completely cut off from the [...]
It’s been a real eye opening month so far. One of the things that I made sure I did this year was spend more time LIVING. Towards the end of 2007 I kept asking people what their highlight was. What wasn’t surprising was the fact that most people really didn’t have much to give me. [...]
Now see that’s fucking weird. I was having a pretty rough Tuesday at work, so we went out for a couple of drinks after work. I work in Mornington Crescent, which is like at the bottom of Camden towards Tottenham Court Road, so most of our Friday evening are spent in and around the Camden [...]
The Chicago Spire by Santiago Calatrava. It’s not a secret that he’s my favourite contemporary architect at the moment. Good little promotional website. The thing is though listening to the interview, you’d get the impression that high rise residential buildings don’t get made…erm I’d like to disagree there, hundreds of buildings exist that are high [...]
So yesterday I finally saw a celebrity I actually gave two shits about seeing. I creator who’s work I’ve actually enjoyed greatly. We went for a few drinks in Belsize Park yesterday and then decided to go for a bit of food after that. Of course, four people trying to decide on food sometimes can [...]
I know I really shouldn’t be excited about this, but the new Star Trek teaser (directed by JJ.Abrams) does look pretty awesome even for a teaser dammit
This weekend I’ve decided to finally get down to completely my chartership forms. For those in the dark, part of a professional engineer’s life (and I’m not talking about your electrician or telephone repair man, who while both are great fields, they are definitely not engineers) is to try and achieve his chartership status. The [...]
Today was the first time I used Awaken from Embraceware. It was a whole new experience for me waking up today to a bit of Soundgarden. Tradiitionally I’m jerked out of bet through the bitter sound of my cheap £4 alarm clock that’s been going strong for YEARS. I tell you what, I am most [...]
Loads and loads of things to write and talk about, especially as this blog is now officially 4 years old today. Got a great deal of exciting things to talk about in the coming month but I think I’ll share this excellent quote by one of my favourite authors Neil Gaiman:
May your coming year be [...]
It’s been a while since i’ve done something like this, but I can’t help myself, i’ve been sitting on this for months now.
Oooohhhh right, now I get it.
So my mac mini arrived last week. Three seperate boxes, one for the mini, one for the wireless mighty mouse and another for the wireless keyboard. What made me laugh was the fact that Joyce, arguably the smallest person in the world was carrying them to give to me. [...]
VectorMagic is a free online application that turns your bitmaps into vectors. It’s the work of two students at Stanford and I’ve got to say that it really does work a charm. I’ll keep an eye on this just to see if there’s any legs in online photo editing tools.
So I had myself a bit of a Facebook purge today. As Facebook is becoming more and more part of the cultural landscape it’s become a bit more important to be a wee bit more careful regarding which people can actually see your details. Maybe I’m being a bit too cautious but the thing is [...]
It’s time we all took the word ‘average’ back. I’ve been thinking about this (and actually mouthing off about it as well to anyone dumb enough that will listen to me) but basically one of the things that I have found lacking in the use of the English language is the proper use of words [...]
Ok seriously that was as fun as getting my head kicked in by a bunch of chunky school girls while being stuck on a roller coaster feeling a bit nauseous from the doggy fish salad I had last night…. ok you probably get the point. Just recovering from my beast of a man-flu. Monday afternoon [...]
Over 1000 photos , but here is a small slither of what is to come:
I have a much larger (and definitely more indepth) post to write when I get back to the UK, however just wanted to tell everyone that I am no longer affiliated with the 9rules network as of yesterday. To make things clear, I chose to leave, however I wish the guys and gals over there [...]
So I’m sitting here in Naoto’s house and writing this after experiencing my first week (more or less) in　Japan. Seriously Ｉ cannot imagine myself staying away from this country. So many things to absorb in such a little time that i could honestly keep writing for a long time. Of course if i did that [...]
You know what I find the absolute weirdest thing in the world? I’ve got this Canon LiDe scanner right, got it something like 5 years ago and has served me pretty well in all those years. It’s not the best scanner in the world, but to be honest, based on the fact that most of [...]
So this last week I was in Princeton for my ‘little’ project in Egypt. The highlight of the trip without a doubt however was actually meeting Michael Graves. He was very busy looking at all sort of stones and mural paintings and whatnot for this other project that their office is knee deep into, however [...]
(The above image was taken from OC-76’s flickr account, go check it out for more gigs photos)
I wrote this last week but because of various trips I didn’t get a chance to post this properly. So on Monday (3rd of September) Thomas had tickets to go watch Chris Cornell at the Roundhouse in Camden. I’d [...]
One year older, one year wiser. Damn that one went by pretty quickly. I’ve got to say that when I was younger I used to get really pretty depressed about my birthday, nowadays I’ve come to accept the inevitable, so now the plan is to grow old with dignity….so I’ll be working on that last [...]
I consider myself a relatively well travelled kind of guy. The thing is though with the exception of America last year and this year my travels have been limited to Europe and the Middle East. The furthest east I’ve ever travelled is probably Syria, if I’m not mistaken. On Friday we booked our tickets to [...]
So I’ve started looking at my blog feed reader and it hit me that I don’t really read all of my feeds as much as I skim them to see what new stuff might be happening in the world. The issue is though that I’m finding it harder and harder to find something that I [...]
There is NOTHING I like more during the summer than a cold Greek salad. It’s no wonder I’ll buy all the ingredients on the Monday and make myself one every day at work. However I find it mind boggling that I can’t seem to be able to buy a decent Greek salad in any restaurant [...]
So you might have noticed a certain lull in activity on the Kode. The main reason is the fact that I’m EXTREMELY busy at work right now. It’s been absolutely insane. The thing is though, it’s pretty standard fare for the summer as most people with kids tend to take their holidays in and around [...]
I rarely pimp the company (in fact I never mention the company except in my contact page) but you can find 72 pages from the much larger Arup Design Yearbook 2007. There’s also a sampler of last years book which has got some pretty cool things to look at as well.
Update: Seems the website is [...]
Last night in Athens, and I’ve started thinking about what I’m leaving behind and what I’ve got to look forward to. I know everything seems soo much more soft and squishy when you’re on holiday and god only knows how much I needed this break. Actually scrap that, all my friends know full well as [...]
Just got back from watching the Transformers with Yanni. To be honest, I really don’t think I could have watched this movie and enjoyed it as much as I did with anyone but Yanni. See we both grew up watching and playing with the Transformers. We’ve had countless arguments about them , with them and [...]
In Greece for a little while. I’ve not been on any sort of break since November (even Christmas was a limited affair as I didn’t travel anywhere). I was kinda reminded why the hell I don’t like to travel, it’s all the airport hassle.
Get to the actual checking and I had the woman my [...]
In ancient Athens, the single worst punishment you could impose on anyone was to exile them from the city; they were no longer Athenians. For the past 9 years I haven’t really considered myself an Athenian and more a citizen of the world. I can’t claim to be a complete Londoner. Could I ever truly [...]
Rarely, someone says something to me that really resonates with me completely and changes the way in which I think. It’s not often, but when it is said generally speaking it will have a lasting effect on me for a great long time. One example of this I can give is when I saw Michael [...]
You know what REALLY pisses me off? I don’t know if this phenomenon has translated itself to other countries out of the UK, but over here we’ve got 16-19 year olds using their mobile phones as bloody boom boxes. I’m serious. It’s easily the stupidest thing I’ve had to experience in my life. We’re talking [...]
Just sorting out the html and slowly hacking the css file. The idea is to slowly chip away at the actual code slowly but surely. I’m not in much of a hurry as I’ve got SOO much stuff left but I find that I enjoy writing more by actually having this new evolving design live.
I’ve never been anally probed (nor do I ever wish to be) but I doubt it feels quiet as bad as I feel right now. The Smashing Pumpkins are playing at Shepherd’s Bush as I type this. I was outside the venue trying to get tickets. Needless to say we didn’t get any tickets as [...]
It’s a funny thing about how much information your brain can actually hope to take in a single moment, a single day, or a single experience. For me this is made clearest when I go to Fopp. For those in the dark, Fopp is a store in Britain, which I believe (but this could be [...]
Ice underneath the seats in the London underground? Summer is finally here and it’s pretty fucking disgusting on the tube. It’s hot, it’s stuffy, it’s sweaty and it’s 8:30 in the morning so the trains are rammed. It’s also more humid as well so people (myself included) are sweating perfusely. There’s been loads of talk [...]
That’s MUCH better. After the complete and utter BOREDOM that was the Monaco grand prix, the Canadian Grand Prix delivered in spades. I seriously enjoyed this race for more than one reason. I’m a bit disappointed for Nico Rosberg, whom I think is an exceptional little driver and seriously one of the future stars of [...]
Archie’s in town from Madrid, so we met up for some breakfast, shoot the fat, catch up since I haven’t seen him since December some time and I start telling him about my brother and how he’s moved back to Greece from the lovely and quaint place that is LA.
Actually scrap that, I was [...]
So I’m standing the waiting line at Sainsbury’s (for those in the dark, it’s second largest supermarket chain in the UK), ready to buy my caramelised nut and jumbo flame raisin crunchy cereal, which I usually consume first thing in the office around 8:30ish. My overall sharpness isn’t exactly at it’s peak since neither breakfast [...]
Interesting developments over at Six Apart. Lets dig up some of the things I said back in the day about this shall we. For all those in the dark, MT was the defacto CMS you would choose if you were in the market to get yourself a blog with comments setup on your [...]
So I’ve decided on the final design (after something like 19 iterations all of which I will show everyone in due course) but I feel some of the html that I have been using on my site is slightly out dated since to be honest I have definitely not been keeping track of the comings [...]
The new London 2012 branding was unveiled today and seriously, it’s very funny how the organisers have got this soo spectacularly wrong. I don’t even know what the fuck this piece of shit is actually meant to be (also check out the absolutely heinous website) - Update: Seems they’ve launched the site 4 days early [...]
So I’m reading the Eddie Campbell interview on CBR and he’s talking about his recent love for blogging. As such he’s still got that amazing enthusiasm for the whole experience that I feel, over 750 posts and three and a half years of doing this, I might have lost a little bit of it. I [...]
Oh my god I think I just wet my pants. I’ve not had this feeling in FUCKING YEARS!!!! Just downloaded the Pumpkin’s latest single from their upcoming zeitgeist and I’ve got to say it’s hot milk with honey on a cool spring evening. Seriously this song’s taken me back like about 10 years when music [...]
So a couple of weeks back (maybe it’s more, I’ve got far more annoying things in my life at the moment to really remember the time lines for shit like this) Bryan’s girlfriend Jen posted on his website (that was taken offline at the time) that things were not going well with him at the [...]
I’m going to post a collection of one liners that are rattling in my head, probably going to make it into a regular sunday evening thing:
The Offspring Greatest hits album dualdisc is pretty damn good listening. Reminds me back to when I was 13 and was about to take on the world. 30 was a [...]
I got onto the scales this morning and swear to god I think I heard the scales sigh. When the hell did I gain so much weight? Over the last couple of months I’ve definitely noticed that my trousers have been shrinking in the wash more and more every day but I think yesterday I [...]
So I’m talking to Fern yesterday on Facebook, and when I say talking I actually mean ‘Wall-ing’ her (yeah it’s not the technical term for it but alas it sounds funnier). Anyway, so she’s dissing 300 and calling it gay porn or some such rubbish, so we started talking movies. I asked her whether or [...]
Seriously, don’t bother reading this because it’s going to be one long boring diatribes of bollocks with me smack in the middle winging and wining about something. I’ve not really had the chance to formulate the post at all in my mind and I’m doing what I used to do years ago on this blog, [...]
The more I think about this the more embarrassed of myself I feel. Basically I sat down today to take stock of what I should be doing in my free time (yes I have to have to be doing something in my free time, I bore extremely easily). I decided earlier last month that I [...]
Forest was back in town for the weekend and we were catching up as I’ve not seen him since the summer. We’re shooting the shit and he asks me how my artwork and design work is going. Of which I had to answer with the truth, in reality it’s not. Oh yeah sure I’ve recently been playing around with Habari, but to be honest Habari is a hobby which I’m enjoying being a part of, but I wouldn’t say it’s stretching my artistic muscles. It’s definitely making me take a much more pragmatic approach to design and I’ve done this before but I know when my artistic muscles are being flexed and sadly I can’t really claim the last year to have provided me with any level of truly artistic expression and in talking with Forest I kind of inadvertently voiced the reason why.
Well Chris broke the news about, Habari, a new open source blogging CMS platform. While he didn’t want feel it correct to mention in the post who was involved, I’m going to step forward and put my hand up as the designated pixel pushing monkey of this motley crew.
What I find amusing is that as [...]
Continuing in my series of the best of 2006, just finished my post on the best graphic novels of 2006 over at Splash Panel.
Fantastic bit of writing advise from one of the top (and now Lost staff writer) Brian K Vaughan over on his Myspace account. I’ve got like 150 pages under my belt, only 9851 pages to go :).
I started writing a best of 2006 about a week ago, however I’ve had to break that down into several posts because it got far too large and I didn’t feel that I would be doing each topic justice, if I bulked all of them into one post. So for the first topic of conversation I’ll talk about the best of the Net for 2006. Word of warning, there’s a lot of images in this particular post just to bear it in mind.
In a time when I should really be blogging MUCH more often (as I’m going through some pretty tough and generally strange times right now) is actually the time when I felt the need to stay away from my blog and the online world in general. I’ve not really been able to pinpoint the reason [...]
I got back from Greece on Sunday in a pretty mixed way. I’m glad that I didn’t have a repeat of previous experiences in airports however even though the flight was delayed by an hour it was worth it simply for the view coming into London. Sunday was the 5th of November, as ‘V’ from [...]
Broken Kode Season One the dead tree version of Broken Kode is finally ready for general consumption. I talk about decisions I’ve made regarding the book and what you can expect to find between it’s covers and I talk about the Lulu process briefly.
I’m currently in Greece for a full 2 weeks. I’ve been looking forward to this break for well over a month now, hell I’ve been looking forward to this break for at least 3 months. I didn’t go anywhere during the summer period, which was probably the worst thing to do for my psyche to [...]
Breathing Earth is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a good long while. Prepping myself up for watching ‘An inconvenient Truth’.
I’d just like to extend my wishes to all those about to fast (and those who are like me already done it for a day). This is without a doubt the hardest Ramadan I’ve ever had to go through, simply because it’s been a pretty hard year, which has drained me mentally and emotionally from [...]
When it comes to doing things in WordPress, any idea I come up with has usually been implemented several times over, however I think (and I really hope someone has actually done this and I simply can’t find it) but the idea for this plugin came about after talking with several of my friends who [...]
It’s been one of the longest summers that I can remember, which definitely followed one of the longest winter’s I can remember in a really long time. As I looked around me I saw more and more of my blogging friends slowly start to blog less. It’s not that we have less to talk about [...]
Mapmyrun, one of the best use of the Google Maps API, I’ve seen so far on the net. My estimate of 5km for my runs wasn’t that far off, I run 4.8km.
“Bitch I’ll pull out all your blonde extensions from their big black roots“. That’s what I heard when I saw Stathis on Saturday as he was watching You Tube videos. Seems that several people have been forming a YouTube community, essentially creating video blogs. I saw a clip a couple of months ago with the [...]
Quick thoughts on the new online service provided by Crazy Egg. I’ve been using it for about a week now. It’s another way of looking at how users interact with your site. I use Mint for my stats package; Crazyegg provides three levels of visualisation of where the majority of visitors click on your site. [...]
27 years ago yesterday, my mother gave birth to me in a little hospital in Saida, Lebanon. Usually around the time of my birthday I get supremely depressed. This can be attributed to the fact that every year that passes by I always feel as though I’ve failed in my one main goal in [...]
I got this link (via Sylvane) yesterday and I’ve watched it like 10 times now. Every time I watch political debates/interviews I always find it extremely frustrating because the people are not talking about the real issues here, they’re smoke screened out. The ‘objective’ journalism is lost. In this interview George Galloway rips Anne (I [...]
Reason I’ve not been able to write anything these past days is because I’ve been feeling numb. Every time I sit down to type anything I feel ill and the words don’t go anywhere. I start thinking about the situation currently going on in Lebanon and I feel this sorrow and it takes over my [...]
Some of the funniest shit I’ve seen in a good long while. I need laughter right now, otherwise I’ll be going insane. Very inventive; it’s like the antithesis of that microsoft packaging advert from a while back that came out of Microsoft themselves. Tres amusant.
While looking around the net for font viewers I stubbled across 6000 free fonts to download (scroll down a little bit). Still can’t find a decent font viewer for ubuntu though, any ideas about this and font management in general on Ubuntu?
For those in the dark, yesterday evening the state of Israel has declared war on the country of Lebanon. This is not the first time that hostile action has been taken against Lebanon, however it does mean that 6 years of peace in the country have been brought to a devastating halt. Today we (the [...]
Usually when things are quiet on the ‘kode it’s generally because I’m busy with stuff and can’t really concentrate on writing anything. Well that’s the case right now, however I’m supremely busy at work rather than outside work, which is not really how I like to be. Things have been COMPLETELY insane for me, as [...]
One thing is for sure regarding the switch to Linux is that there is soo much to learn, however I am actually really looking forward to the plethora of applications that I can start using and learning and the various things I can actually start creating. I’m going to share some of the things that [...]
I’ve been pretty quiet this last week and there’s actually two main reasons for that. The first one is due to the fact that I’ve been extremely busy at work. Every summer it happens to me and this one is no different. I’ve been landed with far too much work to handle in an exceptionally [...]
Last night reminded me of Greece during the summer. The humidity was absolutely ridiculous to be honest. It felt as though the walls were dripping with moisture. Usually I fall asleep within like 10 seconds of my head hitting the pillow, this was obviously not the case yesterday. Tossing and turning I remembered the days [...]
Yes no subject is taboo on the Kode so I’m going to talk about my haircut today. Generally speaking I really really hate going to get my hair cut. It’s like when you ask a kid to go for a bath; there’s like a million reasons that make absolutely no sense whatsoever that come between [...]
I’ve been in LA for a couple of days now and I think I’m finally ready to talk about the city a bit more. The single most important aspect of LA that makes it (as far as I can tell) pretty damn unique all over the world is the lack of a coherent public transportation [...]
I’ve already talked ever so briefly about the visit to Vegas on Monday. The first thing you notice as you enter Vegas is the fact that it’s seriously in the middle of no where. I’ve watched Bugsy, which I think ‘tells’ the Hollywood version of how Vegas started. I’m not completely completely familiar with it’s [...]
Coffee? I doubt it
It’s baffled me for years as to how and why Starfucks came to this MASSIVE prominence around the world. How it came to be the Mcdonalds of coffee. How it came to be that the clusterfuck of caramel, cream and cheesecake came to dominate the world of coffee around the world. I [...]
I generally hate football. With the odd exception of the World Cup which I’m a really big fan of. The last time, a guy at work gave me this Excel spreadsheet which I found extremely useful in keeping me abreast of what was going on. Excely have provided an updated version of their spreadsheet which [...]
Today was my brother’s graduation day. It comes 5 years after my graduation which was the last time I was in a similar situation so obviously I did start to reminisce about that day in Nottingham all those years ago. This time of course I was on the other ending of the stage so I [...]
That was the longest trip I’ve ever made. Now it wasn’t actually boring nor was it particularly uncomfortable, it’s just that had some chinese guy sitting next to me that decided he was going to take up all the arm rests and go to sleep from the word go for like 6 hours. There was [...]
Damn time flies by. I’m off to the States tomorrow for my brother’s graduation (an event we all wondered if would actually ever come to pass). I’ve got to say that in general the visa application system was relatively painless with the exception of the courier service which honestly sucks some major balls. However the [...]
I’ve never actually researched the idea at all and therefore know seriously little to nothing about this concept. I don’t know how I got to think about this today, but I was sitting there on the tube and I got thinking (there’s little to do on the tube). The reason I started thinking about this [...]
I hate Mondays. Every Monday that comes around I always remember that episode of Garfield where he’s trying to get away from Monday so he books a ticket to fly to another country to get away from that dreaded day. That’s how much I hate Mondays. So I wake up this morning and I’m greeted [...]
I noticed this guy wearing this t-shirt yesterday and I actually remembered the url. It’s definitely something I agree with. Traditionally over here in the UK, 4×4s look as out of place as bloody hummies. Completely unnecessary, as far as I can tell used mainly by mothers to take their kids to school (it’s a [...]
Looking at my archives April was the slowest month of blogging since I began over 2 years ago. 10 posts the entire month. Now I’m generally not for one regarding quantity as something I heed much as I blog whenever I feel like it. The curious thing about the whole situation is the fact that [...]
Creativity
It’s really annoying, a month ago I was talking about being on a creative high, however for the past couple of weeks I’ve seriously been hitting a creative wall, AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. I knew back then that the creativity wouldn’t last forever but it’s really frustrating when you sit down and honestly waste [...]
It’s been a while since I got rained on in London. Generally speaking I always carry a bag with me. In it I keep my umbrella, Moleskin, pens and a book or magazine that I’m reading at the time. Tonight for once in a good long time I didn’t have that bag as the sky [...]
That was seriously one of the best weekend breaks I’ve had in a good long while. I think it was due to the combination of being back in Spain, the company and the actually city/village we visited that contributed to making it a special break. I’m going to dedicate a whole post to the main [...]
So about two weeks ago Joe sends out a mass email to the group and asks whether anyone is up for going to La Coruña (Spain) for a weekend and being at the opening of a gallery project Arup worked on. Joe was stationed (yeah I know not exactly a war zone over there is [...]
On Grooming
Today I took a look at myself in the mirror and didn’t really like everything I saw. It not so much just my physical appearance but in the past few months I’ve honestly not been taking care of myself in many other ways as well. So I’ve decided to deal with a few things [...]
Please tell me everyone saw superstar rookie Rosberg’s debut race in Formula 1? No. Well allow me to give you the cliffnotes, but please come more prepared the next time :).
Nico Rosberg is the son of Keke Rosberg, the 1982 Formula 1 world champion. He’s driving a Williams, powered by a Cosworth engine (much in [...]
Increasingly I’ve been reading many people on the blogosphere talk about their posts as articles; to which all I have to say is that you’re talking out of your ass if that’s actually what you think you’re writing when you post something on your personal weblog. In my eyes it’s very simple because blogging is [...]
Traditionally February is generally a shitty month. I’ve had several things mar it in my eyes that for a while there I used to dread the month. This year however it’s been an exceptional month in terms of creativity. I’ve seriously been able to pucker down and deal with things that have been on my [...]
Just noticed that my contact form is not working since I upgraded to WordPress version 2.0 so I’ll try and sort that out asap. If you’ve sent an email in the last couple of weeks and I’ve not responded, please don’t see this as me blanking you, I try my best to answer anyone who [...]
This should be interesting. The last time I decided to talk about fashion I got a response from a slew of sleeper readers. So this one is BOUND to get a few more sleepers to come out of the wood work, because I’m about to embark on what many guys consider a big black hole [...]
Lindsay is conducting a slew of interviews with all the 9rulers in the Personal Community. Thame was first, seems I answered by questions before the other guys. If you’re interested in finding out where the name Broken Kode comes from that’s where to go.
The new institution for both Stathis and I this year has been the ‘Creative Session’ (in the past we used to go out on stakeouts).
I generally used to do these on my own. The problem was that at the end of my writing or drawing I’d get that feeling people get if they go [...]
Darice has been kind enough to tag me into this meme, so here’s something you might not have known about my stoopid ass.
Had an intersting conversation with Hamish today regarding Kobe Bryant scoring 81 points in a single game. See that’s pretty insane. If your entire team scores less than 40 points and you alone score 81 points, there’s something seriously wrong with this picture. Either you’re a complete BALL-HOG or the alternative is your teammates suck [...]
Today effectively marks 2 years of blogging. It’s soo strange but I remember the day I decided to start blogging like it was yesterday. I’d actually heard of blogging before that, in early 2003, however for the life of me I couldn’t see the appeal for myself or for the general public. I was as [...]
Back online which is very very cool indeed. I swear not having an internet connection at home was a lot harder than I thought. If I didn’t have this many commitments for January 2006 you’d have thought that I could live without the noise for a week or so.
Sadly I honestly can’t do that. [...]
Got back home yesterday to England and I’ve got no net at home. Therefore until this gets sorted out at home I’m effectively without my eyes and ears. The good thing I guess is that I’ll get some of these projects done and dusted without ANY distraction whatso-ever. The net is a double edged sword [...]
Perfect start to 2006, the super talented Michael Pham ofMPSoftware releases the new version of PHP Designer 2006. This is my preferred editor of choice, even though 2005 had loads of little bugs it was still great. A full review of this is forthcoming.
I’ve been quiet for a couple of days as I’ve tried a bit of a net detox effectively. Also all my feeds are sitting on my computer at home as I’ve still not subscribed to an internet feed aggregator. The way in which it works for me just isn’t there yet. I have an idea [...]
I’m typing this from Athens from my bro’s computer (the biggest brick you’ve ever seen), bastard doesn’t even have Firefox, so I’ve got to sort this rubbish out for him…meanwhile I’ve got some serious R&R to catch up on. I’ll be writing a whole slew of reviews for Splash Panel as I’ve got 50% of [...]
Time for reflection on the year that’s passed us by. This isn’t my end of the year analysis, (that’s still being typed out). It’s been pretty tough at work and that has propagated into my overall anxiety in general. Not really as calm and collected as I’d like to be. I simply flip very quickly [...]
Well this is the first London WordPress meetup that I know of and to be honest even if it wasn’t, it’s the first one that’s actually counts :). Started off by me getting to Starbucks and finding Mumbles on his own (with his friend he got to tag along just in case we were all [...]
I just realised today how much BAD service in a restaurant can completely fuck up your experience. Even if the meal is as you would expect, bad service will make you reconsider going to the same place again. I’m not talking about the bard ‘rude’ service but more about the completely incompetent service.
Waiting tables [...]
You might have noticed that I’ve been pretty quiet lately, which is attributed to the fact that I’ve recently been commissioned to redesign an esteemed gentleman’s website. For those who have their ear to the ground know who I’m talking about, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about at right now, I’ll save [...]
I’ve been sketching all day practically. I actually left the house in order to give myself a fighting chance away from my computer. So I headed down to Starfucks and got a number of sketches done for the Broken Kode Blook. Now when I sketch I’m very focused. You could move heaven and earth and [...]
Character Design Blog is an amazing collection of interviews and profiles of some serious character designers around there. I’m ALWAYS looking for inspiration, especially now going through Broken Kode | Season One blook.
Fruitcast has gone live. Mr.Kartooner himself and I helped out with the copy of the site. Hell I’m sold on the concept that it makes me actually think that I should give this podcasting thing a whirl, whereas before I had little interest. Sounds like pretty easy money.
Gorillaz toys from Kidrobot. These things are absolutely MASSIVE. The main problem being that they’re terribly expensive, which didn’t stop me from buying a Russel figure today. Easily some of the best inaction figures I’ve seen since the brilliant View Askew ones from a couple of years ago.
After hammering this a couple of times (and in the process getting an even better understanding of exactly what makes PHP tick), I’ve formatted the snippets to be part of the main posts. This is mainly to give these random ideas of mine a home, that don’t necessarily require a full post, but also shouldn’t [...]
Today marks the end of Ramadan for the year 2005. Just wanted to wish all those who have just finished their fasting or are about to finish their last day of fasting in a little while’s time EID MUBARAK (loosely translated you can think of this as Arabic for MERRY CHRISTMAS). I’ve got to [...]
Think of this as a public service announcement. If you’re one of the people that says ‘well D’uhhh’ at the end of reading this post I wish you’d shared this information with me earlier i.e 20-something years ago, instead of keeping it to yourself.
While talking to Eric tonight he told me he was feeling a [...]
Brian Wood’s new website is online. Brian’s definitely got a destinct style, both in his writing, drawing and design work. Whatever you do make sure to check out his excellent CHANNEL ZERO graphic novel. One of my TOP 11 picks of all time.
Stephen King’s Graphic Novel. Not really ‘news’, merely a confirmation of a promo that was released by Marvel back in July.
So I’m in front of the Greek Embassy yesterday, trying to get myself a visa to go back down to Greece to see my folks:”(I was raised in Greece, my brother was born there and neither of us have the Greek citizenship. I’ll be sure to write a proper post in the future about the [...]
Top 10 Places to Find Free Images For Your Blogs
. This one’s for me, since I know I’ll forget about it, but I should use this resource more.
Can someone please explain to me why oh why people in London insist on wearing scarves in the autumn, when it’s no less than 20 °C ? I mean honestly, has style over content got to such a degree that people are so overly keen to wear a god damn scarf? The straw that broke [...]
It was my harddrive. Bastard thing melted on me, well not literally but you get what I mean. I’ve wasted around 1 and a half weeks of work on this. I’ve got a laundry list of projects that have effectively been put on hold while I sorted out this rubbish. I now know a hell [...]
Every once in a while I’ll go into one of my many Art and Design Havens and come out with something inspirational. Chromophile by Brandon Ragnar Johnson is nothing short of spectacular. The man has a very similar style to Rian Hughes (whom I’m a massive fan of), but with an added twist and [...]
I’ve had better weeks, I know I have. I think this week easily ranks up there are one of the worst week for me this year. Started off on Friday of last week when my computer started to die on me. This was augmented by the fact that I had to clock in some extra [...]
Last week my computer decided to die on me. I’ve been having problems with it for about a month now, and everythings pretty much come to a head this last week. First it decided to take 15 minutes to load up. I formatted the damn thing (luckily due to it’s brainfart last month I’d made [...]
Just putting my thoughts in one place to check up on later.
Computer Meltdown.
I’m currently experiencing my first hardware meltdown. If you remember I had a bit of trouble a while back with my windowz box. It seems that problem was more hardware induced than software, as now I get a blue screen straight away, [...]
CUBE Creative My new favourite multimedia/animation studio to watch. Check out the 7Tones 2 short video. So brilliant.
I’d just like to extend my warmest wishes to all those who are about to finish their first day of fasting for the year 1426 AH (2006 AD). Small history lesson for those in the dark, AH stands for After Hijra and is how the Islamic calender is dated (only reason I know the exact [...]
Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks Video Blog. Extremely funny stuff, especially the intro by Kevin Smith in the first installment.
I’m working on a new project in Wantage which is just south of Oxford. To get there we have to pass through Grove, the headquarters of Williams F1. It’s a lot less imposing than I imagined, but then again not everyone’s got a Foster’s designed HQ.
Alex Maleev teaches you to draw the Owl. Great stuff, from one of my favourite artists of the past 5 years.
As some might have been aware, Broken Kode was down for a few hours on Sunday, along with most of the Internet (seems everyone cool hosts their sites either with Dreamhost or Mediatemple, noooch). I don’t mind that since I’ve had it happen to me before, countless times with my previous host. Dreamhost have [...]
GAME BOY MICRO site. That this is TINY. The question now is whether I go for the GBM or the PSP.
World of Inspiration Quotations. New site from fellow 9ruler, Garret. If you like quotations, this is where to go.
The Official Adam Hughes Website is live. Not sure ow long that’s been up. Just to clarify, everytime I see a new Adam Hughes piece, I weep at how completely talentless I am compared to this guy, who should be an international rock star.
Horhaus exceptional comic book work. I’ll definitely be picking up Warlands when it comes out. Where the hell did this guy come from?
Got a few problems I’m trying to sort out, seems my .htaccess file screwed around with my install, then I deleted that and the admin is working but all the posts are getting 404 errors, anyone with any idea what’s going on I’d really appreciate it.
Right the problem is with my htaccess file and Permalinks. [...]
Starfish Diaries I’ve setup a blog for Stathi. Remember when you first started blogging and you had that itch to keep posting, Stathi’s got that itch.
About 3 months ago I was on the phone to Housy, and he asked me if I wanted to go on a mountain bike trip he always organises in September. At the time it seemed like a really good idea, bearing in mind I’d not been on a bike since I was 20 years old. [...]
Fuel Games Online Gaming has definitely come a long way. Excellent stuff here.
I’ve had a technical problem plaguing me at work for the past 3 weeks. While I’ve tried very hard to let it not affect me, it’s been hard running away from it. See the thing about me (and this is something I really should work on) is that when I have a problem that I [...]
Free Opera. As part of Opera’s 10 year Anniversary celebration it’s giving away it’s browser for free. That’s today only people. Read the footnotes. (via designateonline)
On my 26th birthday I was forced into seriously thinking about getting a proper mobile phone, with a proper contract. I’ve been pretty adverse to the idea, essentially because I feel it’s a bit of a rip off, which after a day of searching, it effectively is. The problem however still remains that it [...]
Update: Seems there’s a wordpress bug that I didn’t know about, if the topic name is a number then the post is broken. I’ve fixed it now by putting in some characters.
I remember when a coke was 50 drx (that’s Greek money), that’s the equivalent of 10p, or 20c, that’s bloody old.
I remember when Thundercats [...]
Neave Lab’s Flash Earth Oh so so cool :).
Bryan Singer’s Superman Journal. Pretty great set of clips for you to download. Still think the costume is rubbish, but the casting of Clark is pretty spot on.
Update: Probably going to be offline throughout the weekend, while I sort my PC out. I’m going to load up a linux distro from CD to see if it’s actually a windows fuck up. Hopefully that’s all it is, and I can retrieve most of my data, and then simply format the box and start [...]
chris webb has got a new site up, and it’s such a clever idea.
So I saw my uncle on sunday. Whenever I see the good doctor I always end up sitting there and taking in some serious pearls of wisdom. More often than not he’ll give me a small history lesson. Stuff I never learnt in school, stuff that captivates my imagination. Today he was telling me about [...]
WinDirStat Very cool Windows stats program (open source software, which I always have time for).
LifeHut Go check it out, then come back and thank me for pointing it out to you.
You know how they tell you to separate your normal files from your OS files. That way when your OS decides to crap up on you, because you know it will, at least you’ve got all your files on a separate drive? Yeah well what happens when you can’t seem to access your other drive [...]
Jonas sent me a baton on Sunday, but due to work I’ve just not had the time to finish this off. This baton kind of feeds from the baton of earlier last week. Joen feels that the baton is something used by weblogs to disguise for lack of content. Interesting point. I don’t really need [...]
Bran Man. This is a pretty cool idea. You either get it or you don’t.
GoogleGrab. Not tried this yet but looks pretty interesting.
Currently I’m fighting the most important deadline of the year at work. It’s the culmination of a year and a half’s work. 25 drawings need to go out tomorrow afternoon, and I’d say I’m about 90% done. I’ve got a least 1 day’s worth of work between now and then, and well obviously not enough [...]
CSS Reboot Fall 2005. Well BK4 will be out long before then, but still pretty cool.
millarworld magazine uses wordpress. Interesting use of a blog format.
Shawn sent me a book baton today. I like these ‘batons’. This is only the second one I’ve done but it’s good fun. Thing is though I generally write about the books that I’ve just read if I find that they deserve some mention etc, so some of the below is basically a recap in [...]
Now that I’ve infiltrated the 9Rules Network, I’m ready to blow the conspiracy wide open. It’s a complete lie. There aren’t 9 Rules. There are in fact only 8. I think Paul thought it would be funny to throw people of the scent.
Just to keep things on the level and completely REAL, here on the [...]
I swear I was about to go downstairs and throttle the twat in IT services. This guy effectively erased my bloody profile, screws up all of my Firefox settings, EVERYTHING was lost. I’m talking all the notes I’d downloaded, links, plugins, the whole lot. Screws my desktop up and then when I was like:
‘What the [...]
Sucharaka*Paradise
Loads of really great pixel fonts.
I have seen my country destroyed by war, I have seen how it’s effected people physically and mentally. Experienced an air raid and can remember very vividly how war can rip a country apart. A journey I made when I was no more than 8 years old with my father’s cousins, effectively set the [...]
Damn, not really sure how to react to all this. I’m writing this from work, which I almost never do. It’s just that I seriously can’t concentrate on anything. Everyone’s been phoning each other, making sure nothing was happening.
It only hit me that this was actually serious when I saw Stathis standing at my [...]
So you want to know what Longhorn is going to look like? Go here and download away. I’ve been using CrystalXP for months, so it makes for a good change.
So after my podcast experience with Augie I decided to look around the net for something that could restore both my faith and enthusiasm for the Podcasting format of delivering information. Luckily I didn’t have to travel very far. Part of the great thing about the new itunes upgrade is that you can search for [...]
I can’t remember much of my early life; I’ve got a pretty poor memory when it comes to things that happen to me. That’s actually part of the reason for keep and maintaining a blog. It helps me to actually categorise and file my memories away for later consumption. Of course there are numerous other [...]
ONG-BAK. The best MAN-FLICK I’ve seen in a very long while.It’s completely RAW and the fact that it was done without all the wires and cgi that is found in every single martial arts type movie this is a massive fresh of breath air.
So I finally got round to hearing my first set of Podcasts. These were courtesy of Augie De Blick (it’s funny by Augie’s been on the default WP theme for like over a year now, first time I’ve seen him do anything to that site is add that logo of his, which btw is a [...]
Just finished Kevin Smith’s collection of essays and articles, called ‘Silent Bob Speaks’ (his blog is called the same btw), and I’ve got to say that the man is one of the funniest guys around right now. A lot of his humor is directed at himself, as he’s got this exceptional mechanism to take whatever [...]
forgetfoo is this crazy blog that takes AJAX to the next level. I absolutely love what he’s done with the functionality. Not so keen on the overall design (liquid and all) but it’s a spectacular effort.
Chris Diclerico is now on WordPress. No wonder his old feed was not working.
Sorry I just had to put this up. Picture taken today (via the bbc website) of the tents at the Glastonbury Festival. There’s rain and then there’s rain. Tracey and Rupert are down there, Stathi is meant to be going down there as well. God I’m so glad I’m not going, oh so glad. Related [...]
Shit. See I knew this was coming but like someone who just doesn’t want to get on the scales because they’re afraid what they’re going to see, I chose to ignore the inevitable. With BMW effectively buying out Peter Sauber, their commitment to Williams will obviously be secondary to their team proper. That’s just the [...]
So I’ve been looking at Shaun Inman’s new design. The man knows how to innovate in terms of web design that’s for sure. My main gripe with the design is that all the text is just too damn small. It looks good for sure, but in terms of it’s legibility it doesn’t score many points, [...]
I did originally publish this on Monday morning, but after thinking about it a bit more, I realised that I wanted to say more about the movie and ultimately write it all up in a better fashion. So this is effectively take two of this review.
Went and watched this this comic book movie on Friday [...]
For all those experiencing the problem, and do miss the dashboard (I for one think it looks bloody empy), go check out this little fix from the forums.
[quickpic image=bc.jpg]
Yesterday I saw Billy Corgan at the Forum in Kentish Town. The venue itself is very much like Shepherd’s Bush, only slightly smaller I think. It’s an old victorian theatre I guess (I could be completely wrong); you’ve got an upstairs seating area, and then the downstairs stand and roam area; Stathi, Yiota and [...]
Mecha photo set. God I really miss my lego.
If you missed part 1, scroll down to get the heads up.
Day two and after a big night on the town of Manchester, a £12 breakfast that Sylvane is still shaking his head about, and we’re off to the basketball centre again. We all were feeling pretty confident about ourselves, thinking we’d worked out who [...]
Stathi decided to write something for my blog, the bastard came up with the below entry (first person to actually write a post other than me for the site, might be something to do in future, when they’ve actually got something useful to say :).
Well this is for all the guys especially for my [...]
Microsoft finally does something with the Expression code. Go download Acrylic.
From the top left clockwise: Sylvane, Oola, Archie, Hamish, Matt, Forest, Me, Nicholas and Rob.
This was the second time the Arup basketball team entered the Corporate Games tournament. Last year we went up there, not really knowning what level of basketball to expect. The result we came out with was 6th of 16 teams. [...]
Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me about Spotpress? I can see that James has posted about it. I’m using it until those lazy a$$s release Shuttle :p.
Tomorrow we’re off up to Manchester for the Corporate Games. The irony of the name is seriously not lost on me. I hate the word and what it implies. However Arup is not a corporation, so I feel slightly better about it all. Crap name, and rubbish website. For the uninitiated, these are games organised [...]
7 Sons of Suckerfish articles are now available on htmldog. Good web design resource in case you missed it.
A while back Pankaj e-mailed me to ask me if I’d be willing to answer a few questions for a Hindi blogzine Nirantar he was working on that was going to concentrate on WordPress. I was more than happy to answer the man’s questions. The catch was of course that the final interview would be [...]
Two days ago officially marked ONE YEAR of Broken Kode. What a year it’s been. Although I’ve been blogging for a little while longer (1.5 years), I didn’t buy the domain name till I was completely happy with WordPress as the defacto blogging tool I wanted to use, instead of Moveable Type. I originally [...]
Intro:
While in the Aeroport in London, waiting to go off to Lebanon, I checked out the various stores around. I know Terminal 4 like the back of my hand, as I’ve been in that aeroport countless times on my flights to and from Greece. Straight to Books, etc to see if there’s anything I might [...]
Blender 2.37 has been released. It’s been 5 long months since the last release. Got to get my ass in gear and start working with that program.
Got back a few hours ago, and I’ve got to say that blogging everyday is something I’ve seriously missed. I’ve basically got to play ketchup now which isn’t really how this whole blogging thing should work, however one thing that’s become very clear to me in my stay in Lebanon, is that I can’t blog [...]
I’ve got a slew of posts I’ll be firing off in the next couple of days, as I get a whole bunch of stuff I’ve written while in Lebanon. I’ve got to admit that I really miss blogging. I miss it because all these ideas and thoughts that keep floating in and out of [...]
Can’t believe it’s already been a week in Lebanon. I swear not having the internet in the house for my to blog about all these things on a daily basis. I think I’m going to have to invest in some moblogging (that’s equipment when I get back to England.
This has been on my [...]
This year I didn’t actually have any clear travelling plans. Usually these things fall into my lap, or it’s a standard trip to Greece. This year however I’m not in the mood to go to Athens again. Sure the parents are there but I need a bit of change. Having said, with the upcoming elections [...]
EU Lance European Professionals for European Business, interesting site that I’ll be signing up for.
God how I fucking hate these things. I mean seriously, it’s the sort of thing that they put into place just to PISS people off. The worst is the ones that sit there and talk to you and ask you for your name. Once that’s done, they’ll repeat your name to you. Isn’t that nice? [...]
My god for a second there I thought I’d actually forgotten what it was like to be truely inspired. I draw a lot of inspiration from graphic novels and graphic design in general. The thing is though it’s been a while since I’ve been truely inspired to do some kick ass work in the past [...]
Sebastian passed me a musical baton, would it have been too hard to pass me a pizza? I mean what am I supposed to do with a baton..oh wait I get it. Okay then here’s my musical baton/pizza:
Total volume of music files on my computer:
5 Gb (too many CDs, can’t be bothered to [...]
Morcheeba have brought out a new album. The Antidote, summer playlist.
Great little interview with David Choe on Pixelsurgeon in case you missed it.
Yeah like something this big was going to happen and I wasn’t going to comment on it? Haven’t I taught you anything? When I heard that this was going to happen, I swear I thought that is was a bad idea. DC’s bullet is timeless. It’s a classic and it’s something that we all know [...]
Dave Chapelle as the ‘President Black Bush’. (Thanks for the link Christos)
Designtimes , South African design Mag. I love the neat flash at the top. (via pixelsurgeon)
Go get WordPress 1.5.1. I’ve upgraded to the latest version, 170 bugs squashed. Good number.
Flash Resources links. Found this on my search for better Flash development.
Backpack PIM. I was searching for something like this. Still I would have liked to have this installed on my system, like Tasks.
Billy Corgan Live tour dates have been released; in case you missed it.
When I originally signed up for the May 1st Reboot, I actually didn’t expect to hit the date at all. The main reason was that I had something specific in my head, and I’d been out of the Flash loop for around a year, so I’d missed the boat on several clean advancements, and an [...]
Batman Begins full trailer. I can’t wait for this movie. It’s going to be 1986 all over again.
Serenity Trailer is out and about. Can’t wait for this. (link via Matt)
Star Wars: Revelations. Just downloading this MAMMOTH project right now. I’ll post a much more indepth review once I’ve properly digested everything.
Since the editors of the book Alison and Dave have updated the official site with a mock up of the concept behind Human? I guess it’s okay to talk about it. A while back I wrote a review of Freewave, which ended with a brief e-mail conversation with the guys and hey presto I’ll be [...]
Went and got myself some running shoes Saturday. Bearing in mind that I think I’ve only every bought running shoes once in my life, and that was back when I was 12 years old or something stupid like that (i.e before I discovered basketball), and I was amazed by the different styles and ‘technologies’ available. [...]
Natalie Imbruglia has got a new album out which I’m currently pretty fond of.
Round Two is a good thing for FireFox users.
Pamela Anderson blogging? WTF. Damn that’s pretty crazy, although I keep remembering the Quentin Tarantino Blog a while back, which was actually pretty funny.
I’ve been soo busy sorting out Emmortel out for the launch next week that I’ve had no time to write about anything these past couple of days. It’s really strange but what got me pumped up to finish it on time, isn’t the promise I made myself ages ago, but rather a poem that Stathi [...]
While I was in Wales, we went into Fopp, which is without a doubt one of my favourite stores in the UK. The stuff they sell in there is aimed squarely on my kind of demographic, and at prices generally speaking I can’t resist. So it’s generally a struggle NOT to buy something every single [...]
Yesterday I spent the better part of 3 hours scrounging the internet for decent Flash tutorials regarding how to make a dynamic Flash gallery. I stay away from Flash for 1 year and the amount of development on this application is simply astounding. I mean anyone who’s played around with Flash knows what an incredibly [...]
Adobe has bought Macromedia. First let me start by saying that I didn’t even know that Macromedia was for sale. The official statements can be read from the Macromedia website or the Adobe website.
Just went over to Pixelsurgeon, and BAM there was the news. My initial reaction to this current turn of events is skeptical [...]
Rin and Manji are two themes created for the WordPress blogging system. Rin is an extension of Manji and between the two of them they have been downloaded over 6000 times from this here site. However I’ve never spoken about why I chose those names. The names were chosen as an homage to the fantastic [...]
So I’ve just been for my first run in over a year. Not that I haven’t done any running since last year, just not this particular type of running. London is very strange in that the early hours of the morning are always bright and sunny and incredibly misleading for how the rest of the [...]
The Eisner nominations for 2005 have been announced. Weird one this year as it’s the first one since Eisner died.
What a complete and utter mess. Read more about the future of the Valiant characters.
Warren Ellis actually writing a DC Universe story? The bastard is going to force me to buy JSA!!
Introducing Gimp Shop. Haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll be sure to give a full review in due course.
300 free fonts you have to have. Just in case you missed it.
Absolutely FANTASTIC promotional site for IKEA. Elite Designers Against IKEA.
Creative Suite 2 is out from Adobe. Interesting to see when Macromedia will release the next iteration of Freehand.
Go check out Phu Ly’s new redesigned IfElse.
Haven’t checked in with Rustboy in a while. Awesome animation project.
Silent Bob Speaks. A collection of writings by Kevin Smith. Very interesting…
The voice for Marvin is truely inspired. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is going to ROCK!
CannonBusters is out this week! I’ve got high expectations.
TOP 100 Cartoons according to Channel 4.
A Perfect Circle released ‘two’ new albums and nobody bothered mentioning this? Shame on you!
Brandon Peterson has a brand new website. Not so sure about that navigation though.
Have you grabbed your calender from United Vector yet?
Pacdesco’s Design Community 2005 Cover Design Competition
Computer Arts have updated their website, which honestly is a massive improvement over their previous one.
Been waiting a long while to implement this little feature. Go check out Ndesign.
Chris beat me to it. I’ve had this little post in my draft box for a couple of weeks now, so I guess now is a good a time as any to finish it off and publish it.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. This past year has seen me be online a [...]
I went to the dentist today. It’s pretty funny you could say that currently my family tradition is medicine (even though a generation before that we were carpenters) and for some reason I just never get the inclination to go to the doctors when something is wrong. I’ve very bad that way, but the rubbish [...]
So I decided to wear a tie yesterday. I don’t normaly wear ties, as I’ve been getting into my jumpers this winter, simply because I’m a mediteranean soul and need my warmth. However sometime on Thursday night I just had the inclination to wear something a bit smarter. I don’t know what it was, just [...]
Well that’s depressing. I’m a MASSIVE Flash fanatic. I love how the program is built, the interface, the freedom it provides. All these things mak
