Land Of Confusion
In Apple, Funny, General on December 27, 2007 at 8:57:29 pmSorry for the Genesis reference. I thought it’d be appropriate.
I picked up the latest issue of Mac|Life today (good read).

Imagine my surprise, then, when I flipped the magazine over…

And just so you know I didn’t Photoshop this or anything…

Go down to your local magazine shop and find a copy, if you really don’t believe me.
New Year’s Mixing
In Mixes, Music, News on December 27, 2007 at 6:52:04 pmOn December 31st, I’m going to be doing a live mix from about 10:30PM to 1:00AM or so, to ring in the New Year.
Due to bandwidth limitations, only 10 people will be able to tune in (K.S, you’re one of them…
).
Reserve your spot now by emailing me atnicholas (dot) heer (at) gmail (dot) com
The first 10 will receive a link to listen to the mix.
Ripoff
In NHeer Design, Personal, Rant on December 27, 2007 at 1:41:47 amA guy messaged me on Aqua Soft a couple of weeks ago. He told me he liked my splash screen on my site, and asked if I wouldn’t mind letting him use a similar one on his. I checked his out (it’s linked here, for reference). Now, right now, it’s quite a bit different. It has a holiday theme applied. However, when the holidays are over, it should revert back to its original form. The splash of that site is basically a blue version of the one on my site, however (and I must say this), less well done.Anyway, I told him he could keep the splash screen so long as he linked to my site as inspiration on his site somewhere. In 2 weeks, he has failed to do so.Spam the hell out of him.
UPDATE: It’s been resolved now. It’s all good.

Oh, yeah, and I should mention that I started a wish list on Amazon. If you’ve won the lottery, recently committed a heist, or just have walked into some money, why don’t you check it out? Subtle as a brick, I am.
And apparently Yoda… I am.
