Description
this site
First of all, this is my personal playground. Even though things have grown enormously in the last year, it’s my goal to keep it as personal as I can. You will find mostly home made content here, stuff I do on my kitchen table and then some. *^_^*
I know there are sites out there, claiming their independence. Well, it doesn’t come more independent than this. It’s my own site on my own server with my own, home made projects on it. *^_^* Sometimes I experiment with banners and such, trying to get something of a kick-back for costs I make on all this, but I either do something terribly wrong or I don’t know what’s going on, cause it’s a pennybusiness as it seems and I’d rather be flipping burgers for that kind of money than changing my personal site into a commercial christmastree…
the design
The most obvious thing in the site design, the skull-sticker, has been designed by my friend nijne. The rest of the logo is a picture made on my das iBook keyboard with keys from my old G3-keyboard on top of that (you can get an idea of what has been the base overhere). As a template, I took the textpattern-template serene as a base, changed a whole lot to it and I added a nifty navigation which got described as being a fake-dock with minimalistic vector-graphics... I couldn’t have said it better. The icons in the navigation come from the truly unique IRIX, the UNIX which runs on Silicon Graphics-machines and since this site started out on a wonderful SGI Challenge S (which at one point was a killermachine), it seemed the right thing to do. Also because IRIX already had scalable vector-icons long before OS X existed and even longer before Vista had it planned (or did they already remove this feature also?).
