There seems to be a problem.

I have just finished compiling our company’s annual report. We’ve had it checked a few times, and were absolutely sure that there were no visible errors to be seen.

But every time I sent a final copy to the printers, a new blip would appear. Since sending the first initial publication, I have sent a further 6 copies, each with an amendment of some error.

And today our book got printed. While I was preparing the document for a digital audience, I found another error. This time it wasn’t so obscure or hidden, in fact, was extremely blatant and could well pose a threat to our perfectionist image we try to achieve — The problem was that when I resized the page, I forgot to re-centre the objects on the back page. Now they are nudged 10mm to the right too far.

Now that’s over, it’s time to win.

For yonks I have been wanting to create a design for threadless in hopes that I will win and get many vouchers and some cash. But as with all things I never do, I can never find the seconds let alone minutes to carry out such tasks.

These holidays marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new mindset. These holidays I shall sit down for more than a few seconds and create something so spectacular that the votes for my design will average a 5, $ (Rating of 5/5 and an “I’d buy it” status).

Now I’m obliged to carry this through.

Yay.

I’ve finally reached the state of neglect, as one does after a few months, before he or she is rejuvenated - it’s a cyclic thing. There are so many things going on around me (which is a lie, actually) which has forced me into a non-blogging state.

Hrm, I’ve forgotten what I was going to say.

I don’t think this was it, but it will do — Lately, I have been influenced, as you do, by all these new snazzy sites popping up all over the show. This means I get to re-design my site, again! Oh yay horray. Actually, it won’t really be a re-design as such, just moving things about, and making things look nicer; but overall, I think it will look different.

Wordpress 2.5 was planned to be released on the 10th March, which has passed, which means they such a meeting targets. Overall, the admin looks much better than the current Wordpress, but structurally, it lacks order and elegance. Check out a demo of it here: WP 2.5 Demo (U: admin P: demo)

Just a few weeks, ago I was about to write something about how awesomely awesome the One News set looked in comparison to other news broadcasting sets. Unfortunately, just last week, they revamped their set — and golly, it looks disgusting (photo doesn’t do the full credit the ugliness deserves). Not only does it look like their rival, TV3’s news set, but it also has a resemblance to the One News set of the 90’s.

The previous set (2002-2008) was a cut above many. NBC, ABC, BBC, CBS, SKY, FOX, Nine, all feature an oak-like desk with dark browns/oranges; giving an overall aged feel. On the contrary, TVNZ’s One News touted a modern teal tingle throughout the set, resulting from using many planes of glass. Additionally, they had super-awesome graphics which were much more superior to larger-budget news bulletins.

The refurbished set cost an estimated $700,000 NZD and ironically, the new set was to boost viewer ratings.
