I've noticed the support forum has not had much posts in the last few weeks. Guess that's a good thing? Meaning no one is having any problems!

Anyways, how is everyone? and what have you been doing?

I've been doing good, packing, and getting ready to move. My site has been doing fairly well. Getting allot of visitors!

wow, i was about to post one of these threads .

I'm good . and i've been up to nothing but annoying people on twitter

Same as always - work, work work. Too many people want new websites at the moment

Plus i'm looking to buy a place of my own soon, so there's a lot to organise for that before i even look at a house...so thats taken up lots of my time;

Justin - It's always fun annoying people. xD

Graham - Sounds fun, at least you are making that money.

True, i shouldn't complain We were expecting a start of a lull as we near Xmas but that's not going to happen this year, it seems.

yes it is . i annoy michael because it's fun and he hasn't told me to f'off yet

Graham - Ahh yeah.
Justin - lol. Probably doesn't care to much. xD

I'm good, just got a lot of work going on at the moment for University, that and the fact that I'm struggling considerably for money!

We were expecting the same. Had planned to sort out one of our websites and finish a set of vForums changes in the run up to Christmas. But that is only 4 weeks away and I still have 2 sites half finished plus another 3 which want to be online by Christmas/January but haven't finished being designed yet. That's not to mention a load of little changes to other sites which need doing. In fact, I shouldn't really be posting this as I should be working I may need to see if the part timers want to do some extra hours over the holidays

@ Michael, are you working as a freelance developer now?

Wow seems everyone is in a crunch/busy.

What if it was your own company? Being President, CEO, Head/low/leader Graphic Designer, etc? XD

RIP Mage Designs. iDesigns is my new one though, but have not been designing anything lately. Wanting to make a new forum, or build upon an existing forum, but not quite sure what I really want to do.

The last Graphic I did is what you see in my Signature.

you're a designer? i thought you were a coder .

I'm trying to be a coder but atm school is pushing me towards designing, i tell them i want to take computer programming and they put me in digital design . I'm really enjoying it but now having a little hard time deciding where it is i want to go.

Position is fairly irrelevant in this case, haha -- I'm with Grahamy on this one. It all sounds awesome on paper, but when you're dead tired and have a cold, the last thing you want to have to do is sit down and code (or design) for 8 hours, which of course includes numerous hours of debugging things that don't work right, or dealing with a client that's angry because the nav menu is 0.2 pixels lower on the page than they wanted or because they don't want to pay the amount they agreed to when the project started, etc.

P.S. In case you were wondering, I currently have a cold and got no sleep last night (and was dead tired when I came in this morning), and then spent the day redoing one of our websites' homepages and spent a fair bit of time getting IE to play nicely (as usual). Upon eventually getting it working, you of course need to get it reviewed which leads to more minor changes being made. The only good thing is that I'm here full-time, so I don't need to worry about not being paid, haha.

that's when you tell them to f'off your paying the price you agreed to or you're not getting what i designed/coded and I will sell the product to someone else

Running the company / department is worse. As well as the workload you also have the stress associated with being responsible for everything

@Marc - you can't get 0.2 pixels!

@Marc - you can't get 0.2 pixels!

Exactly my point!

Do I need to say more?
