Aren’t they absolutely gorgeous? I was actually looking for a not-so-cool one because I have a very nice idea in my head to revamp the cover but then I ran into these. They’re very good quality, perfect for my label and tag collection and so amazingly cheap compared to other brands. Also the right size: A5 [210x148mm] which is not too small and not too big either and extremely well-bound!

I nicked the last two from the shelf, I just couldn’t resist… These were so cheap I thought the price on the tag was a mistake *hehe*

A proper post later, work first than pleasure… and I’m actually enjoying what I’m currently doing: building tiny Flash banners.

So many pages to fill…

Sturdy and with a beautiful cover

Syntax Overdrive

Posted on by

I’m tired… because I have been working till 05.00 in the morning three days in a row. I’m coding a form that needs to send and retrieve data from a database from within a secure CMS and I’m this *showing about 2mm between thumb and index to you* close to getting it to work… *aargh* The problem is that somehow jQuery/Ajax is not triggered or the database is not triggered and I really really really don’t like debugging. I’m obsessed now with solving the problem because I’m so close and such a determined stubborn goat.

I don’t mind coding but when I get like this it just reminds me again why I am a designer: it’s safer for me because I don’t spend that many nights in obsessed-work-mode getting five hours of sleep or less. Nor does my brain go into overdrive not knowing where the breaks are, seeing endless lines of syntax in my thoughts and looking for solutions. Today I’ll focus on the design again, it’s instant result which is what I’m in desperate need of at the moment and a codeine for my triggered-by-a-lack-of-sleep headache.

Time to be good to me: a break and a Thai noodle soup…

Yes I heard some of you dearies out there but you know what I’m like… *hehe* thanks for your concern!
