Three weeks??
Yes, its been over three weeks since I last posted anything... I've been busy sorting out my new job, arguing over money, merging my company, working on 7 contracts AND spending time with my girlfriend. Oddly, I feel very good today. Actually, I've been feeling very good all week... I wonder what kind of illnessess cause someone to feel good. Differentail Diagnosis People!! Sigh, ok, this week, working on a new sketch. Hopefully done by SAT ~ OFF TO THE BATCAVE!!!

GRRRRRR
So, I've managed to break most of the site due to massed failed FTP transfers. GREAT. Please drop me an email if you see anything wrong with the site. It'll help me fix it quicker. herman@open-life-close.com

Wow...
So, I'd like to share this with you people, as a thank you.
During this Christmas period, things have been very slow on the site. OK, honestly, its been dead
Now, from 11 - 14th Jan I've noticed the following stats:
45 Visits
261 Pageviews
This ain't much, compared to other sites, but to me it's something special.
To me it's a sign that people do respond to the insanity and nonsense in my mind.
To thank all of you, I will be turning the latest picture into a wallpaper and posting it up under "doodles"
I'm going to go cry a little now.

Hobo-Land
So, just to keep you guys in the loop, I have found my tablet pen again. Thus I may resume work on drawing again. Glee and happiness all around.
Now, I am currently working on 3 different projects after work each night:
World Zones Clock
aeFileManager
Sexy Bitches T-Shirt
So, what I am saying is that please be a lil patient with me. Yes, I am no Lar or Piro or Tim. Those people have the gods on their side. Seriously. Having the time to manage stores, draw sillies, update their web comic, work on some other side projects, play games, time for family... the list goes on.
Now, a lot of you will read this and say: bitch bitch bitch. I fully agree. So less bitching and more progress. I'll be posting my progress on my T-Shirt design under comics after work tonight, so PLEASE log in and comment. I want some feedback as to what I should add / Change / Etc in order to make it a viable design. Hopefully so much so that I can buy Christmas presents for all the people I had to skip last year due to Trade Sanctions against my wallet.
Sad ain't I? Well, your the one reading this
If anybody needs me, i'll be at a homeless shelter or the nearest traffic light, washing car windows for small change.

2010
Hey all. Firstly, there is no excuse here.
I've been neglecting this site badly. (well not just me... nudge). Things have been worse than ever before here. My pit of money has dried up around Christmas. Moving to the new flat meant no internet for a while. Moving is damned expensive. I'm not doing that again soon! Anyways, I've lost my tablet pen in the moving process. How is it that every time I get to 50% with something really amazing for the site, karma seems to interfere and stop me in my tracks? maybe karma learned her lesson with Hitler and is now determined to stop me from making this a success.
Well, the strip I had planned for December went to ashes with the loss of my hard drive. That was a lot of work and now it isn't kind of relevant anymore. The NEW project I'm working on was a new T-shirt design. Yes I'm doing merchandizing. Bite me? To make matters worse, I'm quitting my job after this month. Things are going to go hectic from then on. But fear not. The reason I'm quitting is due to a lack of time. I'm going to do a few upgrades to the site in the morning, then I'll discuss this bold chess game between myself and Karma.
As last words to you, I am NOT abandoning this site. I've spoken to Marius, neither is he. I'll leave it up to him to tell his tale. In the morning though. I'm beat. Over and Out.

Monday
We have found a new place to live. Thank goodness. Now, after all the initial payments have been done, I find myself pennyless. How nice. So today I am going to rob a bank or local cafe or street urchin. Wish me luck

ART!
So, Dominic cracked the casing of his laptop, right on the hinge of the screen. We fixed it up, somewhat, but it looked like shit. I decided to do something about and and took some unkown, rubbery, white stuff and started modelling on the casing. It turned out pretty well. Im thinking of making it slimey, radio active green - giving it that "dont touch my stuff" look. Head over to Doodles and check it out!

Maintain Radio Silence
Yes, and then there was silence. What a hell of a week and a half. One major project going on at work and my involvement with my EVE Corps new website has been keeping me so busy, I need to go see the doctor in 2hours due to the severe lack of sleep. I hope that most of you will stick around for the weekend, Im starting tomorrow night on a new Comic. Please look forward to it :)

Studies
And so, as I am studying today for my macro-economics test later I am compelled to post, blog, tweet, you tube etc. What is it about the internet that makes people want to communicate this much? Incidently, we now have a working forum - so for those of you who also feel the need to chat, post, blog etc - register up :)

New, Fresh, Not so clean..
Ok, so after a beating from Herman, we have an understanding.. Along with the new look and feel for the site, we have streamlined the workmachines to well-oiled, er, bodies..? (that sounded better in my head i promised). So feel free to poke around the new layout. Until next we slay.
