Kaboodle.

Major update on stuff: Kaboodle… (no not the online shopping-mall, damn them)

Got surveyor details back now going ahead with buying new apartment.

Started doing designs on 99designs.com

Finished learning new awesome guitar piece.

So yeah, it looks like i’m entering the property market for the first time. Given house prices in the UK are astronomical and that they are likely to fall this may seem like folly. However, the place we selected is very central and  modern, very much in demand no matter what the overall market is at.

So on to designing for 99designs.com. Now, many graphic designers feel that doing work on spec is the root of all evils. But consider for a moment someone like myself, who needs some way of building a portfolio, and needs experience with dealing with client nit-picking about such. Can’t get a better place to try out your muscle to be honest, so while those who decry the evil of 99designs will have their opinions, perhaps they should redirect them towards (what I feel the greater evil) TemplateMonstor.

It’s been a great learning curve actually, and I’ve gained some insights I would otherwise would not have, and also have some arsenal to add to my web design portfolio.

And yeah, I finished the Choro de Saudade by Augustine Barrios, the foremost composer for the classical guitar, and I’ll get around to YouTubeing it at some point for ya’ll to watch me play.
