Okay, maybe near, rather than now.

I have finished (well, almost finished) building the thing I need to use to redo this book.  Oh, the name will also change. The reason being simple:

I am no longer searching for self, I have found that, whatever it is, it is not me, but it lives within me.  I am no longer away, I am here, or rather it is here.

I have also decided of where I am going to move this entire book to.  The URL/web address will change, don't worry the old links will work (automatic redirecting).

I intend to work on the design or the new thing, by end of next week, and launch the new thing by the following Monday.

By the way: Thank you, yes, you, for coming around these parts. Its all love and fornication, ;-)

1ove, you.

oh mother of --- its mother --- hot.  I can't work smoothly, mouse all sticky (and no! I'm not going through porn).  I can't sleep, can't open the windows --- them thugs jacked my ish whilst a window was open and I was sleeping. Not cool.

I am re-designing GUSTO --- I like what it looks like now, but it's only form and not functional.   So, I'm working on a newer interface --- trust me, it will make sense then.

I know I write mostly of the work I do, but hey, what can I say, it's my soon to be bread and butter.  I am also thinking of re-doing this journal/book --- this look is tired.

I'm listening to some CD somebody told me it's dope, dam it, this shit is wack --- I don't like house music with 'piano' strings on it, couple with a lot of melodic-singing --- not inspiring.  I find myself getting frustrated for no reason when the music playing is kak.

Alas, switching to my 'dope' playlist.

Dam, I hope I finish GUSTO by end of the week, I don't think I'll have the time to do it after that.  Mr S83 approved the design for his magazine, it should launch on Monday/Tuesday, it will, it should, it might.

After them (S83 + GUSTO) I dive into 75, on the 19th of April it will be turning 1 year old --- and dam, I got news for ya on 75 --- alas, we wait till it's re-designed (I've finished the re-development though).

Till tomorrow, assuming I sleep.

Yet another project completed at an expense of sanity.  I need sleep, yes, I know I've been saying this quite a bit.

Irony is I am quite chaffed I actually pulled through the night, for a moment there I thought I was getting old. I still got that foolish-youth drive.

I love it.

Any who, funny thing about 'design', once I finish it, I see so many things wrong.  The nuwer 75 (notice the move from Seventy+Five) looks good when pixilated (as in photoshop). Don't get me wrong, designs I completely hate the world never sees.

I have a methodology to judge if a design is solid, it's a two step methodology.

1. I must be able to stare at it for hours without moving a muscle, whilst my mind wonders of the endless possibilities one can do it with.  A good design does not limit imagination, but inspires.
2. I should be able to appreciate the design if I was to look at it upside down, with my head tilted to the left, or right, essentially from any angle.
   

(phone rings)

I lost my chain of thought.

Till then. 

Yep, I was right, it had to do with the colours, I am now flowing, the design is putting itself together, I am just a guide.

I love it!

I tell you what, if you have followed my designs in the past, this you have never seen me do, ever, it's fresh.  I have a name for it, 'rebirth'.  I cannot tell you more than that, because like birth, the child suprises you and hopefully, inspires you to believe, okay, sure I am trying to drop some 2 cents (zim dollar) philosophy.

Now I enter the second part of my design phase.  Everytime I finish a design, I un-plug, watch tv, fall sleep, I give every design at least a day, before I continue, the idea is to see if it's still as tight as it is today as it was the day before, more like refreshed eye and mindset.

Ah, it's b-e-a-u-tiful.

Time to sleep, I have a Mathematics test to administer tomorrow (hopefully my students are prepared) and a lecture in Computer Literacy.

Until the morning.
