Free templates in .Net magazine - update & pictures

The kind folks at .net magazine have kindly sent me a magazine in which my templates are featured on the free CD, I have below some photos of the magazine piece itself. The coverage I get is quite modest, but the hits I have been getting to my Web design company’s Web site have increased quite a bit.

I have a big tree

treeSorry let me re-phrase that, it’s fucking huge. The lady at the farm shop said that they have been selling them so fast that they had run out of all the 7 foot trees - which was what I came for but she could do me a 9 foot tree for the price of a 7 foot. Good idea, and how kind of her I thought.

Then I helped the lady lift the tree to be bagged and we dragged it to the car, putting it in via the boot behind the drivers side and onto the dashboard on the navigators side. It only *just* fit in.

If you don’t know me, I have a 1996 (?) Renault Clio, and they are very small, so driving home consisted of me having no rear view mirror and no vision out of my navigators side at all, which really was a bit dangerous. Oh, and the tree was covered with snow too, which oh so kindly melted all over the seats which I am yet to clear up.

Good job we have an old barn conversion, think it might still need to go in the middle of the room!

Think of how many presents can go underneath?!

New free Web site templates released

As the latest issue of .Net magazine has been released (issue 184)  which feature my free Web site templates on the free CD that comes with it, I thought I’d release them here too.

There are four designs this month, mostly along the lines of a business style but all are quite different. I’m particularly pleased with the speech and grunge designs, hope you like them!

Christmas is coming..

..and the iTunes App store is being filled to the rafters with useless and very pointless and badly made Christmas games but somehow I still find myself downloading, installing and playing with them, before deleting them off course!

The only thing I haven’t deleted is the sleeps2xmas app, which as the title suggests tell you how many days left to Christmas there are to the tune of a Christmas song! Very cheesy but it keeps my fiancee smiling when I show her!
