Blues

July 15th, 2006

I’ve been quite numb for the past few days, and I’m sure everyone around me has noticed. I think I haven’t been getting much sleep because of the projects I’m working on.
I’ve been quite disillusioned with the goings-on around me for a while. I’ve been stuck on two of the ugliest designs I ever came [...]

Bored

July 13th, 2006

I’m supposed to be redesigning the new Still-Learning site and moving it over to Joomla with a custom theme. I made the sketch ages ago but just started designing today. It was hell…

I’ve done a lot of research on the internet and the way to go seems to be [...]

Summer I

July 5th, 2006

I’ve been doing nothing lately except loaf around on Nairaland and sleep. Yesterday was the Fourth of July but I only got to see fireworks going off at the armory sometime around 10pm last night. I’ve got very slow reflexes so I wasn’t able to take any useful pictures — luckily, I’m using a digicam, [...]
