The customer is always right, or is it?

From Clients From Hell:

Client: “We like it, but could you make all the links look exactly the same as paragraph text?”
Me: “Ah, then no one will know they are links, or know how to navigate your site?”
Client: “They will if you make the pointer change when they hover the links.”
Me: “But they won’t hover the words on a page unless they know it’s a link in the first place?”
Client: “Trust me, I’ve been doing this a long time, kid. It’s called SEO, Google will know they are links.”

Ready to move in

Yesterday I got to pick up my TV and I my dad bought some new curtains for my bedroom. These keeps the light out quite good. Tomorrow I hope to get "home" and start living my life at the new place. I hope to see if the owner has managed to come up with some temporarily soluton for internet access. Wouldn't play any Dragon Age before I know I get the date associated with a date.

New apartment

Today I got a new apartment. I'm only renting, but it is a large improvement from what I got today. Its more centralized and easier to heat up. Also it has a shorter way to school and work.

I hope to be settled by next weekend...

New TV indoors and using XBMC

I can't express enough have satisfied and thrilled I am over the new TV. It is just incredible to have such a large screen and be able to view everything in HD (where possible). I have also configured my noisy desktop PC to become my temporary HTPC before I can manage to purchase more permanent.

XBMC is by far the most exciting technology I have used the past couple of years. The extendibility of the software is incredible. The plugins, scripts and skins. Currently I am using Aeon, which is most polished one available. To have a good overview of your movies and tv shows, its just a dream come true.

Origen S14V a enclosure for a future HTPC. To bad the price is way off budget...
