XS4all

I miss them you know... Internet is flacky out here and I hate it. The moment storm or rain, or both, mixed with a bit of thunder shows up, it will stop the internet hub from working and will send out a message that the lines are not synchronised. Every two minutes it will reconnect for one minute and fail again the next. Quite annoying that is!

I wish we had XS4all over here, never never never had any problem with these guys, perfect service and policy. Especially after having to deal with UPC and their vicious ways of ripping off people, XS4all is just a relief!!! Anyway internet has been flacky for a couple of days now and whenever I needed to look for stuff online I couldn't which is quite frustrating.

I have been busy working on my website and it is getting much better, I changed the looks of the B and will change some more details tonight, in Illustrator. It looks more like a cartoon now which is quite cool actually. I need to look for sound files to use with my intro and A. has been busy adjusting some scripts that I couldn't get to work; the equaliser on my main page and the script to make the eyes of the B follow your cursor.

The ones that were used didn't quite work, or I tried to mix two different items together, each with their own scripting which sometimes isn't such a good idea... Well I knew he would get it to work, I also realise what the problem was with the scripts I just can't put them together in one working script. I did with the play, pause and stop buttons though, but it just takes me ages and I'd rather design and work on the main thing than the tiny details, although they're important!

So A. has been a great help to me. He is on standby *again* this weekend and had to go to work this morning because he couldn't dial in. Lucky him he could park the car in the car park of the office. Hopefully he won't get any call outs tonight [or the middle of the night]. It would be better if our internet was okay then he could stay here at home and dial in...

Diet is going well, I love all the healthy food and I'm learning too. Each recipe is different but in a way quite simple and sober but just the right combination of food makes it special and delicious. I prepare two portions of lunch a day so A. can bring his to work the next day. He loves the food too. I'm happy with that because it makes it all a lot easier otherwise I would have to cook different things for him as well and to be honest I'm not sure if I would have done that...

Well I better continue working on the website. I skipped my sleep last night and have been working all night on the B. I enjoy working with Flash but it's intense at times, especially for me because once I'm busy and on a roll I won't stop [like last night]. I had some sleep but went to bed at 08.30 this morning to wake up around 14.00 and start working again. I won't do it too often, I would kill myself and become a very very grumpy person. I don't think A. needs that!

Check the test website every now and then if you like, it's there and will be there a few more months I reckon... The url can be found below in an earlier post. Talk soon!
