@Xelis is awesome, just look at this awesome #TwitLight banner!

April 30, 2009 – 4:49 pm

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve told @Xelis how awesome he is. He is one of the most talented graphic designers I’ve come across, he’s made me many signatures for forums and headers so far, including the one that’s currently on my blog. Oh and he also came up with a brilliant [...]

#TwitLight, Handwriting and other things

April 30, 2009 – 11:40 am

It’s been about a month since I’ve started temping at the cafe and I really like it so far. I have never met as many crazy people in one place before, but this is made up by some of the amazing staff, one of which I have met several times outside of work. The early [...]

New look, again.

April 27, 2009 – 3:02 pm

It’s that time of year again where I feel that it’s time for a new blog theme, after all the last change was in October! WordPress.com has added many themes in the last years, but seeing that I’ve got the CSS upgrade I want to make the most of it. I’ve spent a lot of [...]

This dream I had that turned out to be true. Well, kinda..

April 25, 2009 – 3:24 pm

It’s being said that we dream every time we’re asleep and just don’t always remember them when we wake up. I can count all the dreams I’ve had in the past year on one hand and they were all pretty strange with people that I know in different roles and situations acting completely atypical. I [...]

What does YOUR handwriting look like?

April 21, 2009 – 2:24 pm

I have now been able to write for 19 years since I was first taught the ‘Vereinfachte Schreibschrift’ which translates to English as ‘Basic Cursive penmanship’. It is the standard form taught across all the primary schools in Germany and demands the writer to write all the letters joined together with the exception of the [...]

Michael Robotham – Drowning Man

April 16, 2009 – 2:06 pm

A lost child. A shattered past. A life going under. Well, as promising as the book sounds, it isn’t at all. I’ve lost interest about halfway through and then tried my hardest to finish reading it to see how the story plays out. All that means is that I skipped to the last chapter and [...]

Programs I use

April 14, 2009 – 9:51 am

My laptop is now two years old and these days I live in constant fear that it willl die on me, become corrupted or I’ll drop it accidentally, yet I never actually seem to get around to backup properly. My laptop has everything on it, from TV shows and films since I don’t have physical [...]

A dead Mayor is re-elected..

April 12, 2009 – 11:57 am

It may be quieter than coin tapping, but waving a banknote under the gaze of the bartender is destined to have the opposite effect on weary bar staff. Just listen to Ms Barua: “People try to wave notes at you across the bar and that’s not the way to get served, folks. If money is [...]

Lee Child – Bad Luck and Trouble

April 9, 2009 – 1:07 pm

I recently finished reading ‘Bad Luck and Trouble’ by Lee Child, yet again an author I hadn’t heard of before and was only tempted to read it by reading the blurb on the back. And, just like ‘The Double Tap‘, it’s much more compelling than the actual book. The protagonist whose name I’ve since forgotten [...]
