August 30, 2001: August 30, 2001August 29, 2001: August 29, 2001Oh yeah speaking of filofax,Oh yeah speaking of filofax, i found my old to do list (dated 03.09.00) from over a year ago. And after going through the 20 or so left on the list I was able to cross off 6. One of them being to make this site :) Does anyone else make to do lists and totaly ignore them?? I bought a refill forI bought a refill for my filofax today (last entry 21 July 2000) and they tried to charge me 8.99 when it said 4.99 on the packet. After 5 min or double checking they said yes you can have it at the ticket price. Like she was doing me a favour or something. Geez i was expecting to get it for free :) I have been very lazyI have been very lazy when it comes to updating truffle and in the last week have updated nothng here. I have nowever started to convert my sketch book into flash. See the start at Flashturbation It's funny looking at my sketches and using them as a guide as to how i was feeling on a certain period. It's also fun seeing my style go from totaly shithouse to kinda cute. Note: file sizes are only 100-200k not 8MB as specified :) I will try to finish happy snaps this week........... August 27, 2001: August 27, 2001And one more thing VelishAnd one more thing Velish range of pre-made soups are very nice. Even if their ad is very silly the soups are great. Oh, and the big newsOh, and the big news of the week is that I will be moving to another apartment in 2 weeks. Which I hope will solve my neighbour problem. Here's a small insight into 354 Liverpool Rd life, if you are not allready familar. I walk down to the bins and place my paper rubbish in the paper part and my bottles in another. But I can't help realise someone has checked a dirty nappy in the paper section of the bin next to it. Angry I check the next bin and find a plastic bag containing newspapers. They put the effort to collect the paper but decided a plastic bag also needed to go in. It can't be that hard to work the bins. They have plain as day diagrams to go off. Oh well this will all end in 14 days I will be in theI will be in the next issue of Stu crapping on about something. I only had a night to write it and my bad literacy skills didn't help. I hope I don't bring the issue down too much Look out for up and coming photographer Noel who photographed half the issue. Mabye soon he'll be able to afford underwear :) August 24, 2001: August 24, 2001Sounds like Shibu is havingSounds like Shibu is having fun. By the time he gets back from his round world trip he will have forgotten us all :) 3 tacos for a dollar...... I hope you took photos Shibu :) After what seems like agesAfter what seems like ages Brett has launched ThaHub.com The only place you need to shop for your vinyl online. Just wait till you see the Shockwave version it will blow you away. X Plane has to beX Plane has to be one of the coolest companies in the world. There is some awesome illustration work in there August 23, 2001: August 23, 2001http://popupsponsor.com/ This is the websitehttp://popupsponsor.com/ This is the website of the assholes that make the annoying banner popup window that you have to close all your windows just to close. It sits in the back ground looping until it feels its time to open another window. If left there it will open 4 windows or more a minute. And you cannot close it. What a dogey way to earn money August 22, 2001: August 22, 2001I reformated the machine II reformated the machine I am using and have only just now copied the Truffle folder and installed photoshop. So expect happy snaps to be finished of soon and more right wing antics. Seeing as I spend mostSeeing as I spend most of my time playing games or making them i think it would be a good idea to start a definitive list of links to games on websites or gaming portals. If anyone would like to submit a link to a page where there is an online game (flash, java, shockwave, or downloaded) thats would be great. I would avaoid linking to sites that talk about N64 etc etc these will be games that you play in the browser or can easily download. There are so many little games out there that I think the list will be quite big and usefull. Pretty much what Tommy is doing with his free porn bookmarks, execpt for games :) August 21, 2001: August 21, 2001I went mountain biking onI went mountain biking on the weekend and my ass cheeks hurts like hell. I have never been so tired yet so excited. Note: breakfast is a good idea before doing any exercise. And if you reading this Jim, get well soon :) I hope it was your left hand you fell on. August 18, 2001: August 18, 2001A new version of MacMameA new version of MacMame is finally available at Mame Dk which means the list of games to download has increased dramatically and it means i can finally play Golden Axe 2. Ahhhhh yeah The PC versions have been available for a week or so. My all time favourite site. How could somthing so fun have such a functional and user friendly site?? I feel like going into work just to download all those 12MB roms:) August 17, 2001: August 17, 2001The smoke alarm at myThe smoke alarm at my place goes off every morning at 5.00-5.30. It's not the actual alarm but a secondary one. The real alarm is bloody loud. I was under the impression that it was a low battery indication but after removing the battery for the last 3 days with no result im getting very confused. August 15, 2001: August 15, 2001i think alot of thei think alot of the times i over react to small things that in the end were my own fault like a dad that leaves alcohol in the house and gets angry when his kids drink the guy who doesn't vote then is angry that the person he didn't like is elected the guy that doesn't lock up their bike and is angry that his bike is stolen i should sleep on things before i make decisions August 14, 2001: August 14, 2001Looby Lu is awesome.

There has never been an easier place to find inspirational work from all around the world yet everyone seems to be unimpressed. "Oh i don't like anything", "everything looks the same", "web is boring" What do these people want???!!!? Don't sit there in your designer clothing complaining that everything looks the same when all you surf is design sites that are linked from other design sites. I dunno but it seems people are getting harder to impress and more elite everyday.

Only in America August 02, 2001: August 2, 2001Orisinal would have to oneOrisinal would have to one of my favourite sites. The guy makes great games and they are all so nicely polished. A definite bookmark :) There are public toilets andThere are public toilets and then there are toilets that you can access if you look hard enough. It's always good to keep a mental list of where it's good to take a leak no matter where you are in the city. Small resturants, old places you used to work, fancey hotels, friends houses etc etc are a wealth of clean bowls Kinda like you find good places to eat, you also have to find good places to pee. |
