I've found that as soon as a company gets what it wants design wise and everythings up and running, they chuck designers and webmasters (i.e. me, surplus to fecking requirements). This is even more so if the site is static.
Best to develop a professional attitude to the market and move on the next design job / contract once your baby's out in the world wide web.

"Let me get this straight, ma'am... you actually drove _through_ your garage doors?"
"Well, they usually open pretty fast... when bits of the door started landing on the car roof, I started to realise that something had gone wrong. Is that ok?"
"What do the latest simulations look like?"
"The computer suggests that the bird had 'fighter plane'-like wings..."
"Let me see that hardcopy!"
"...WTF? A concorde-type nose? Who the **** has been messing with my simulation-apps again? ****ing undergrads!"
On a negative note though, I'd prefer this to be a live action movie rather than animated, like LOTR did so well... if you like the animated version too, that is...
"Well, that's the latest batch of suspensions done. How many customers have we got left?"
"Er, one. On dialup pay-as-you go. Inactive since '96."
"Bah. God Damn you BPI!"
After contemplating some crazy-ass calculations that go past the realms of possibility and rationality, I have decided that this situation must be left well alone, as cracking the balance of two opposing non-energy forces will break the barrier of reality and begin a cataclysmic chain reaction which shall unleash a force of 'EVERYTHING' from 'NOTHING' causing a hideous side-effect of entropy which will destroy the very fabric of the universe at a molecular level upwards, in a very short time. Earth will vanish in less time than we can say 'blip'. In other words, abandon universe or perish!
Now if only I could put that into a reasonably lengthed mathematical formula, I could back up my mad, raving loony words.
Until then, I'll just repeat myself by saying 'Stay Away from This' and concentrate on the world's greatest and most ambitious project yet:
The Fusion Reactor.

This is good news. The Microsoft front-line is getting a battering from all sides at the moment, while the Nix parties are getting stronger with more support by the day. And Lotus Notes can only reinforce that position against the Vole.
Hey kids, remember the French Revolution?
Start learning about things called 'Guillotines' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillotine) and 'Battering Rams'.
And don't forget the 'You Suck!' cell phone wallpaper for when you get frisked!

I now have a new best friend!

It's been reported that 5 out of 5 Linx installations are genuine.
Linux = 1
Windows = zilch (as usual)

"Shit!"
Slow News Week :(

There goes the neighbourhood! (again)

Powerful friends and in powerful places... MPAA in Bed with VISA...
And thus was born unto man, The Universal Translator.
Which went on to start so many new wars in outer space...
'F00k You, Gates San' to Redmond. Or... 'Stay of Our Japan, and take your bulky XP Vista with ya.'
Jesus, what a day! Rest In Peace, mate. I just can't believe He's gone!
Yeah, and WoW fem avatars can look hot too:

As a red blooded chauvinistic pig of a male, I play female characters when then look hot.
It must be a control thing...
That's right, Lara, jump up and down a bit more, facing towards me...

I've got faith in Sutherland after he did the Lost Boys. I know he can play a sinister type very well. So, erm, there. :P
Joyful sob.
This is the happiest day of my life. Sigh.
It's even sunny outside...
