this is just a DELICIOUS reading. made my day !! gapingvoid: how to be creative (latest version)
My fav ? this one : Nobody cares. Do it for yourself. Everybody is too busy with their own lives to give a damn about your book, painting, screenplay etc, especially if you haven’t sold it yet. And the ones that aren’t, you don’t want in your life anyway.

And now, a word from the president
i’ve been working the last few days on the temporary version of the Grand Casino Brussels (further on referred as GCB). This temp version is aimed at winning some time by starting a communication with the casino online audience while the fullscale is being developed (and while the GCB casino is being built ).
Concretely, it should :
- allow users to fill in their name and emails to be subscribed to the GCB mailinglists (in 3 languages)
- communicate about job offers at the GCB since they are in heavy recruitment phase (the casino will be run by a staff of +250 employees).
- convey a low-down yet classy brand image
Can i ask you, my fellow reader, to have a look and give me feedback on how well/bad you think i managed ? Please explain your opinions in order to be constructive.
I would just like to give credits for the flashobject embedding to a real smart guy, Geoff Stearns , deconcept (New York). He solved the mystery puzzle on how to make an xhtml compliant flash embed script !

And now, a word from the president
So, that ’s it ! I’m done skinning the dotclear blogging tool to fit in pixeline ! I must say i’m impressed by dotClear’s ease of use.
The templating is admittedly not that user-friendly, but what i did is take the existing template, take a copy of an existing pixeline valid xhtml +css page, and merge the two, then adjusting / adding css bit by bit.
It took me about 5 hours to do it, and i guess i’ll fiddle with it some more later on [ is it just me or is that a rule of nature that a webdesigner's website is never finished ? ]. But i’m impressed : dotClear has made a very fine blogging package.
