No theiving!

I have just lost my entire entry due to IE deciding it was just going to randomly shut down.

Of course, by entire entry, I mean all 3 lines of what I had written so far.

Now that the internet is back, I've been doing a lot more web design like I used to. I fixed up Mog's blog the other day, and I'm currently trying to set a design for Frodo's theatre company, Rhymes With Purple. (As you can see at the moment, it's just a plain jane, but we needed to get info up there without having to wait for the new site).

I admit, that though I love doing all of this technical crap, I'm not the most patient person in the world. For instance,

• I would rather steal code than create it myself.
  
• I don't learn the code that I'm ripping off other sites.
  
• And I have neither the time nor the patience to learn the div codes that make sites go, but I take blind stabs in the dark.
  
• I curse a lot when I'm designing, and I often have to step away from the computer, scream for 5 minutes, then come back refreshed and start again.
  

Somehow, I still manage to think this is fun. I guess it's the end product that is the reward. I like visiting the new site 100 times an hour and saying, 'I made this!'.

So, I'm thinking of changing the look of this blog here, and I'm batting around the idea of a theme. I have no idea what theme to use though, and I saw another blog with an absolutely awesome theme and I'm vaguely considering stealing the idea. I'm not quite keen on stealing other people's ideas, and most likely will brainstorm to come up with a theme that's as clever and fresh, if not more.

Off to meet Colinopolous and Regan for tea today.

I've started up an MSN Messenger account, in case anyone would like to try to have a chat. Add me to your messenger list...calima at gmail dot com is my contact name.

Oh. And my new favourite song that I just can't get enough of is 'Mad World' from the Donnie Darko soundtrack.
