There are still some mistakes in the newly crafted woodwork behind where the boy's head used to be. But hey, it's time for bed anyway.

09 November 07 - 01:20Sobek CD release

Iv'e told you about the CD cover I've designed for the band Sobek. Well, last saturday they had their big CD release party. I promised not to reveal anything before that date, and I didn't. Euh, well, here it is

^{This is only the front. Of course there is the other half of the booklet, the inlay, the back cover, the CD itself and the inside of the booklet. Curious? Want to hear it? Want to see it? Just buy the CD for only 8 euros. Support your local bands, why don't you.}

The evening for the band was being occupied with receiving guests and acting like kids who just got a poopload of presents. I can't blame them, though. Must be a great feeling to accomplish something like that. :)

Aaarghhh! The're scribbling all over my artwork!!!

02 November 07 - 15:59New Leopard dock

A lot of people have been complaining about the new dock in Mac OSX Leopard. Although just about everything in OSX can be tweaked, you still have to sit at it and actually do it, right? :)

Well, the 'guy with some time on his hands' tweaked the dock so that it has more contrast, it is less 'present' and best of all, the indicators are visible.

You'd like that, huh? Want it? Okay, get it here!

02 November 07 - 00:23Missing the boat

I've seen some companies in the last 10 years, but I've sure missed the boat on this one! I should have stayed with Eneco. There is were the serious cash is, I tell you!

I received an invoice from my energy company stating that I owe them EUR 4.275.69. What? Excuse me?... WHAT? Oh, I'm sorry; I already payed them EUR 1320,- in advance, so that leaves me with just the EUR 3.434,69. Well, in that case everything is Hunky Dory!

^{Hmm, that looks normal... NOT!}

GAWD! I am so fed up with these companies.

First thing in the morning I'm going to block the automatic withdrawal I have granted these Morons. According to the invoice, I have used up twice the volume of gass in two months that I would normally use in a year.

I can already hear the voice of the callcenter-lady:

"Computer says no!"...
