NovembAAARGH!

Well, it is November already and we at the Polyhectic are entering ou8r assessment period.
Between illness and incomprehension I am not expecting much from this year's efforts.
My Portfolio site/cd is now complete, but is more holly than swiss cheese. All those midnight programming sessions only served to make my writer's block even thicker in the mornings.
We shall see....

Lifelong learning continues with a Harold appearance sometime mid-month. Two committee members have quit and that leaves 3 and a stuffed giraffe making decisions. I begin to suspect I was invited to join just to maintain enough numbers to vote with...however things appear to be successful nonetheless.

At the moment all I wanna do is sleeeeeep....

Latest blurb

Well, another day and another job down the gurgler. Bass Fine Wines no longer needs me (*sniff*). Heigh-ho...
Possible employment at Providence is in the wings, though. We shall see...

For those interested in Life Education I am now on the Tasmanian committee and will be Harolding at the Brownlow Breakfast on Sept 20th at 7am, and at the Last Drinks launch of Ocsober on Sept. 30th. The new Giraffe suit is fixed thanks to Stuart and the generosity of Allessandro at the International Shore Store (a serious gentleman). The fan now works and the feet are on the right way. :)

Let us hope all goes well...

The Streets Alive site is done and dusted and appears to have gone down well. (My half of te production team is now down to two people which is a bit disconcerting.)
The Mayo book is finished and delivered although it looks like another self-publishing job. Still...Loretta's book appears to have been well recieved.
The Advertiser is still on-the-go and Permian Monsters is in the wings.

Lotsa work still to do.

Monday 26 July 2010

Well, almost August and the Mayo book is almost complete. 15 images in all.
More work from Eduart too. Fixes for old stuff mostly. Still working at Bass Fine Winery and Harold-ing but no great shakes thus far.
Michael Zhang has returned to China and may end up moving to Canada.

Brother ewan has bust his skull (literally) this week. 3 fractures. He really needs to learn that football is too dangerous to his health. Stick to delivering babies in Vanuatu , Bro....

Stressin' out...

Wherghhh!...
Time is pressing on and the Suzie book is due now in August.
The Streets Alive website is chaos as the team keeps getting ill or not showing up.
We finally have an acceptable site mockup, but it looks as if it will be dumped in favour of Sharon's working joomla version. :P

We had feedback on Advertiser the other day. we won. (stunned amazement)
Photos available on Feat of Design Blog.

Twas Brillig game still full of bugs. Critters won't move comprehensibly. Must work out some form of character/critter hit detection.

The Wagner is back and work is picking up.
More Harolding on the 19th of June at the casino.

Siss' wedding plans continuing to everyone elses irritation.

(wanna sleep now....)

Workin' away...

Taking the time to add a post while working on our Kiosk assignment for the Polyhectic.
I spent the weekend drawing for Dr. Mayo's book and cleaning Bass Fine Winery.
Here is the mockup of our Kiosk that I developed just to get ideas rolling.

Back doing karate as well. Paul seems the same as ever, but Sensei appears to be moving house. I am awaiting a reply to my query as to why.

Back to the Grindstone...

Hmmm...for some reason my backgrounds have vanished...
Mus' investigate...

Well, it is time for another school year and I am back at TAFE (the Polyhectic) and studying Cert IV in Interactive Digital Guff. More 100 apples, More squares! AAARGH! >P
I have occasional Sunday work at a winery now which has led to a Mascot clash with LLL at Festivale. Thankfully I was not needed vitally at the Winery.
(I just wish the Boss was faster at replying to communications).
So, come the weekend I will be 'Harolding' again. I hope both the heat and humidity lay off.

My Karate has been suffering due to heat, the movement of Sisters, and work irregularities. I hope to get back to it soon. (My punching is degrading into paunching!) :P()

Happy New 2010 to All!






Well, that was 2009 that was, and the end of the "Noughties". Frankly a bit of a dissapointment. The only really interesting thing was the weather going nuts on a global scale...heigh-ho...

Work is looking down at the moment as my LabTech job has evaporated (again) and i'm back to illustrating ESL crosswords and children's books. Also creating a line of "i'm sorry I missed Christmas" cards for all the lazy lot out there.

One new experience - I was a stuffed Giraffe for NYEve for a Life-long Learning promotion. Now, I loathe heat but I spent 1.5 hours in that thing in 31 degree sunshine. The kids loved it but I am now well-and-truly cooked. (No one can call my ideas haf-baked now!:)).

All the best to all for the "Tens"
