Follow-Up

| | Tickle My Senses (2)
I meant to write a follow-up about Beck's Canvas exclusive preview party last week but I found myself being busy redesigning the gloves online shop which seems to be a much bigger design project than ...

Mental Detour

| | Tickle My Senses (11)
The weather has been pants for a few days now: I've had thunderstorms and vertical rain. I don't really mind because I don't have to go anywhere and have been extremely busy sorting out chores that ha...

Garden Design

| | Tickle My Senses (6)
I had a really relaxed weekend after a bit of an annoying week. You see; I have been trying to get some sample urls from a client for three weeks now, to see what kind of design they would prefer and ...

Different Approach

| | Tickle My Senses (5)
I have been in deep thinkers mode lately; just too many questions in my head. A letter came in this morning from the Lowlands and it ended up unopened on top of the one that has been lying on my desk ...

Perfume Tag

| | Tickle My Senses (4)
I guess it was bound to happen one day... I'm tagged by my friend Wen, a fellow blogger and expat living in beautiful Malta. I must admit I've tried to stay away from the tagging thing that seemed to ...

Wild Woman

| | Tickle My Senses (3)
I'm having a ball lately but should try to find my balance... I did the painting below last Sunday, it was extremely relaxing! The book is a true inspiration and I'm doing too many things at once but ...

What's That Smell?

| | Tickle My Senses (9)
God, I'm good... I'm amazed by myself [is that a smell of arrogance?]: I've finished most of the website already, it just needs a bit of hacking, plugging, research and image adjustments which I will ...

The Quintessence

| | Tickle My Senses (5)
I seem to be more interested in pictures these days... so not much writing and a lot of faffing in a nice way. But [and that's a 'capital but'] I need to get things done too unfortunately. Got a phone...

Assignment

| | Tickle My Senses (1)
I just received a phone call from the photographer I mentioned in my other post. She's interested, so we'll meet up next week to discuss the design of her website. Things are getting hectic *grin* I'd...

Lifted

|
Yesterday and today I have been working for Maurice trying to finish two Flash galleries. It will be linked to the Dutch/UK stock photography websites and elsewhere on this planet. Maurice called last...

Squeeze A Bit

| | Tickle My Senses (1)
How to fit your life into 21[+] categories? Well manually, one by one... It took me about three days to assign each post [638 by now] to a category. There is no other way to do this with Movable Type,...

Quicky

|
Just a quickie before I shoot off to bed. The rowing machine was out of stock unfortunately and I'm eager to get it in, so is A.. Hopefully it will be delivered somewhere this week. I've been working ...

I Need You!

| | Tickle My Senses (2)
I promised a sketch version of my website, so below you will find the link. It's still a sketch and not a fully functional website. The only link that works so far is comb number five... If you count ...

Sorry...

|
But I'm extremely busy updating my website and learning Flash 8 at the same time. It's not that bad just actionscripting is a pain at times. Slowly getting there... But I want it to be good so... you ...

Homework

|
Not much going on at the moment. I'm busy redesigning my website which is finally becoming a bit easier now that I know what I want from the design. The sketch is still in Photoshop and partly in Flas...

Almost Done

|
I'm almost finished with A.'s website. Finally *sigh* I guess I'm getting fed up with it because I have so many other things to do still. And if there is slow progress then it starts to annoy me. I w...

Wednesday: Like Any Other...

|
I've finished the website for Sonja: she paints her own art impressions based on Japanese paintings from the Edo period. Finally... One more to go and then I'll have some peace of mind. I need a break...

Would Have, Could Have

|
You never realise what you're missing until it's gone... I've found out that I didn't have the latest version of A.'s website, it has been destroyed in the crash a couple of weeks ago. All my hard wor...

Busy Bee

|
Yes I'm still here, just been really busy working on projects. I've built a new Flash website over the weekend for A.. Not finished yet because it's quite a big project and so there's still a lot of w...

Hosting Problems

|
I have been really pissed off with the domain hosting people lately since they've decided to change their DNS without telling me. Last Wednesday I found out that my website had been offline for quite ...

Housewife Design Award

|
I've been browsing for a while, just surfing the net, but I should stop doing that because it annoys me after some time, having to look at all the crap that is on the internet. Especially the type of ...

Move on

|
My study books came in weeks ago, had a quick look what was in the box. Tons of books, 2 video tapes, 2 CDroms and some brochures. I'd really like to take another look again and start reading but I gu...

Critters

|
Just when you're ready to go live, you find bugs... I think I have a love-hate relationship with Flash. Offline testing ain't exactly the same as online testing... although it should. Then this action...

Beyond Description

A Zestful Quest...

Here you can read about my expat life in London: the latest news, concoctions and crazy thoughts I might have every now and then... Pictures will be added as well if what is on my mind can't be put in words...

About Tess


Occupation:
- Managing Director

  Web Designer
  Graphic Designer
  Multimedia Designer
  Digital Artist & Pixel Fukcer

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Proud Owner: Mac Classic †, Mac LC II †, PowerMac 6500 †, Performa 6800 †, Power Mac 8200 †, iBook Tangerine †, PowerBook G4, iPod shuffle, iSight, Power Mac G5.
