As mentioned before, I’m re-designing WipeoutZone at the moment, although it’s taking me a little longer than I’d hoped. I have the layout where I’m pretty happy with it, although I’m so out of practice with graphics that I cant get the look I’m after for a tab at the end of the banner. I might just drop the idea for the sake of time, but I’m hoping for some inspiration to hit me before it comes to that.

Best accomplishment so far was cutting over 500 lines of code from the records page. It’s really swish now and I even have a printable version going. Other than that, though, there’s still quite a bit to do – the time entry page will need a massive overhaul – I reckon that’ll take me five hours or more by itself.

I’ve set myself a deadline of 30th September, but any time that week will do just fine as long as I get everything working smoothly.

After the new WipeoutZone I’ll be working on the aforementioned Macsturbator.com – a project which I’m sure will be popular with the Apple adoring masses. I just cant wait until I have people signing up for the Jizzletter! ;o)

Managed to have my first proper slam on the min-ramp at skateboarding the other night. Tried to roll back into the ramp going the opposite direction from usual, lost my balance, spent a few microseconds of bullet-time in mid air before thumping onto the wooden floor of the ramp. Ouch.

I’ve a nasty bruise / friction burn type thing on the bit of your right arm that you lean on when sleeping / playing games / using a computer keyboard / mouse / and it’s proving to be a pain in the ass. My right hip is pretty sore too, but I hope to be back in action this weekend for some practice if the weather is good.

Despite a bit of pain, it was good to get my first medium sized slam out of the way. Maybe it’s a rites-of-passage kind of thing and next week I’ll be that much better. :o)
