Yeah I think it is and I'm damn sure you didn't expect that change aye? Well get used to it because it is not going anywhere. All I can say is that I am back, been a bit of a shell of my former self of late and I have no fucking clue why? Perhaps it's going for new jobs, having to fit in and shit. Well bollocks to that, I'll do my job and I'll fit in when I am at work because I need to eat, but it stops there. Yep some things are gonna change me thinks.

The I am just me community site just won't be getting finished and that is final on that one. I've had enough of sitting behind this computer thinking up new code, templates, graphics and shit just for a bunch of muppets to sign up and post feverishly for a few days then fire it off because they have no sticking power. Happened with the rising tide site, happened with the crosswinds site and the one before that. NO I have no interest in slaving, not anymore. Wanna buy the domain? Make me an offer I can't refuse, the hostings good for another 9 months I think, no actually I've no idea; nope I couldn't give a shit.

risingdragon has had a small facelift and now is just a simple business card type website. No portfolio, no links, no nothing. Want me to do some bespoke development? Cool, email me from the address. If not, hey it's no bother to me. NO really I'm tired of doing freelance work for people that don't even have a clue what they want apart from "something".

Back to being angry at the world. Hello again fuckers...

I find your new found attitude really refreshing. I also really like your new header image..V Cool.

I am in desperate need of a new layout, i never feel comfortable to write on my site simply because im never happy how its presented once its there.

I seem to be scratching my head constantly.

I hope everything goes well / went well at your Aunts funeral.

Neil

I've often thought about coming up with a dirty/grungy-type layout. You've pulled off a pretty swank design. Cheers!

I'll tell you why you haven't been yourself lately. You're getting old. I've had to come to terms with it recently, myself. Since I've been importing all the bizzos' archives, I've noticed the younger me was a lot less... tame, content, whatever.

Too old to rebel, too young for a midlife crisis.

Neil, cheers mate. Aye as good as those things get.

Chief, thanks. Could be the age thing actually. Not considered that, I reackon it could be this "getting older" thing.
