the week where i almost did something
still working on the website. i won't even specify which, since it's been the same one for about eleven months now. we agreed on a simple brief, i agreed to accept peanuts, and every time i deliver my end of the bargain, i'm given a list of adjustments to tend to... it stopped being worth it quite a while ago, since i was intending it to be my showcase piece, and i've already got paying professional contacts off this project without even having finished it. but i've come this far, may as well...
my wooden case mod has also hit a relatively big snag, and since i'm doing it for my own "enjoyment" and the snag being a design fault, i don't even have a client to blame. spare parts ordered off eBay from the states are already on their way which will help me overcome the snag - with style! if all goes well, of course.
in unrelated news, i had my "first" gig in richie's mate's pub close to work last night. one colleague came along, and apart from V, no one else turned up. i kept turning the reverb down on the amp, but the echo wouldn't go away. the bar staff enjoyed my pouring-my-heart-out-and-shredding-my-fingers-for-two-and-a-half-hours though, apart from the chef who would have preferred to watch the football with the sound on... meanwhile downstairs, guy richie popped in for a drink and ended up nicking two guinness glasses. pure class, that geezer.
meanwhile Dédé is half hyperactive and half falling asleep, and being really cute while doing both... will need larger accommodation cobbled together this weekend. probably going to rain, so may as well...
oh well, back to adding actionscript scroll bars to dynamically loaded text from external html files, oh what fun indeed.
