I received a phone call from my client today. He likes the templates and gave me the go-ahead to get started on the project. I still can’t reveal any specifics just yet, but perhaps in the near future.

I already have a shell framework in place. Now to get started on the rest…

My first official paid project is underway! At this time I am not at liberty to give out too many details, but I will update with more info when I am able.

What I can say is that I am very excited about this project an eager to get the ball rolling. I already submitted some template ideas and some page-flow ideas for approval.

So life has been quite difficult these past several months. I have struggled greatly with school simply because I have not had the time to keep up with my assignments and readings for class along with everything else going on in life (most notably work and family). So I decided to take a break from school in order to pursue other interests. In particular a buddy and I are going to start up a business together. I already have work lined up for us. I figure it will be a few months before we approach anything near stable business. I really hope this works out.

GIMP splash screen

A buddy of mine asked me today to make him a plugin for GIMP. I’ve never written a true plugin for anything, but have wanted too. Now is a great opportunity. I need to start reading up on this subject and give it a try.

If you haven’t tried it yet, GIMP is a free program similar to Photoshop. In Ubuntu you can install it easily by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install gimp
