99Designs is officially retarded. I get a 1 Star and immediate elimination and this cheap tacky design gets a 4 star.

My design: [link]

4 Star Design: [link]

My design isn't 'that' amazing anyway but it doesn't take a genius to work out that the other one is extremely outdated and tacky.

Ah well

Just a quick update to let you know i'll be submitting in the next month or so.

- Osec

This is probably against the terms & services but who cares. Does anyone have a patch for either Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 or Adobe Photoshop CS4? It would be highly appreciated since a patch for Dreamweaver destroyed my other laptop.

I'll know to scan for viruses this time haha.

Anyway, please note me if you do.

Osec.

Update: Thanks to ~Brukhar for helping me with this situation so no worries to all.

How are you people, whats new?

So im 20 today... time to get on with life right? no more excuses and blaming things on being a "teenager". Unless im twenteen? haha

Made a few 'needed' facelifts to my profile since I had a little spare time on my hands.

I'll have a new WP Theme up later or tomorrow, depends how well things go.

Have a nice weekend.

But yet you still read the journal?

Anyway, Have a great Easter people.

Basically I'm very busy at the moment, wont be submitting deviations for a few weeks or more.

Just thought I'd let you all know that since I haven't submitted a deviation in a while now.

I did start making a deviation for that contest by big-dizzay or whatever he is called haha, but never carried on, doubt I will. Anyway good luck to whoever has entered that design contest.

I'm still alive people.

Osec

I'm curious to know what my fellow Deviants look like, and there a few im more curious about more than others. More so the people I speak to mostly on here, but post your pic anyway.

Heres mine: [link]

Ok so the other day I was thinking what the hell is so good about this twitter? and why does everyone have it?

Well I decided to sign up mainly since there's a Twitter module on dA and I'm still yet to be "impressed".

So here's my twitter follow me and chances are I'll follow you lol

Clicky

I did the old google hacks trick (intitle) to get myself a load of decent fonts and came accross this directory and thought you might want to take a look.

Not sure if I'm aloud to do this but what the heck, you can thank me later

[link]

Does anyone have any proper decent webdesign fonts? fonts like *lluck and ~bratn use or something?? Nothing tacky and wild.

I'm only asking since I lost all my fonts, add me on msn: bshiz@live.com if you can help me out.

Thanks,

Osec

So to stop all future problems of random freezing which was not fixable without re-installing windows I have now just finished reinstalling it.

The only perk about doing that was right before re-installing when I was going to back up some crucial PSD's and files my USB Ports decided to turn themselves off, which meant I couldn't get on the internet since I'm using a Wireless Adapter and I couldn't plug my iPod in to use as a external HD.

So now I'm back to square 1 but I'd rather that than have my PC randomly crashing and having a new corrupt file every 30 seconds.

So no more journal's of me ranting about how I lost files.

Also to those of you who commented on my last journal but assumed I didn't save the PSD's I actually do save them, it was my computer making the files corrupt.

Time to get to work.

Once again another PSD has became corrupt that I've been working on.

Dont give me the have you tried so and so, why dont you re-install windows milarky.

I just feel like ranting and letting you know how rediculously raging I am about it.

so how are you people?..

Where is ~iji-design? He used to be my favourite designer like 2 years ago.

Ok so its 4:17am and i've spent the past 3 hours designing this site for a contest and i actually finished. My computer crashed "after" i saved and fished it. Booted it up again and now I cant open the file, the message I get in photoshop is "could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document". I'm not sure what to do, i've tried 2 psd recovery things and they didn't work.

And for god sakes dont just view this for the hell of it, i need some help please :/

A few of you on my previous journal were "dissapointed" about what you read, I'd like to say that the reason I posted it was because I have nothing to hide. I don't really care if it effects my "career" on Deviantart, ruins my image or whatever. Most people wouldn't dream of posting something like that on an important page but I really don't care. If you no longer want to watch me because of this then be my guest.

What I did was wrong yes, and it was a one off I'm not some thief like you think I am but its up to you to build your own opinion on me.

All I can say is this year is off to a flying start haha.

Oh and to those of you who called me an Idiot or a crackhead... quite frankly don't bother watching me since you have no idea about me.

Worst night ever lol... Got arrested for stealing a mobile out of some handbag, bad i know. But man was it a bad day the next day, stayed in a cell from 2:00am till 18:30... only time I was out of the cell was for a mugshot photo, finger prints and interigation..

I now have a court date on 3rd of Feb which I will probably pleed guilty, best thing to do right? they have video evidence etc... nothing I can do.

By the way, I'm not actually a thief I always return the phones by phoning people on it and aranging it, I found a phone 3 weeks ago returned it.

But its hard for people to believe that, especially the 5-0

Basically the pc i designed on (downstairs) has been moved upstairs to my room, the only problem is, is that now I'm on a smaller monitor ( 1024 x 768 ) I was on a 1440 x 900 or something like that. So my designs will basically be a similar size but a bit smaller. They'll be a bit bigger than my ~kakkr designs and a bit smaller than my current.

Other than that I'm decent, hope you guys had a good new year, I know I did... lets just say I hitch-hiked a lorry at 3am

Peace.

So i went on =ctrl-click profile, saw his journal and noticed that all recent comments on his Deviantart profile page are flagged as spam. I'm guessing thats you guys thinking you're all big by saying "ripper" etc. But tell me how does this resolve the situation? It doesn't. You will never know the full story to it you just believe what you get told, I could be wrong I could be right but flaming someone Isn't the answer.

He's left dA, are you happy now?

Grow up people.

So with only 2 days left till christmas are you guys all sorted and ready to go? I haven't sorted any christmas shopping out yet since I'm so skint lol. I'm 19 and I still get money from relatives which I am very greatful for but at the same time still a bit guilty. Either way I use it as piss up money to get wasted, which I shall be doing on Christmas Eve in my city.

By the way I made an xmas journal skin if anyone wishes to use it, I know I wont because I like the journal I have now. But if anyone is curious here it is.

Have any of you found out what you're getting for xmas? or if you are getting anything? Share people, im curious. If you're my age (19) or above you'll know how christmas gets less and less exciting therefore you tend to get less spent on you than when you were younger since you'll have a job etc...

Anyway, have a great Christmas, I'll be so drunk I wont even remember

Some of you may know my old ~webdesignsforsale account. I just added some of the contest entries which never went through to there... fascinating i know.

Anyway, some of them are pretty poor for obvious reasons, a few are ok.

thats all.


Currently undergoing several projects, one for new software which is priority as of now, not sure if I can reveal anymore about that. Secondly "Sonecore", a project that I'll be launching hopefully around late October, and finally a project with Aryton at which we have a killer name for that I shall now reveal for obvious reasons.

Anyway, just thought I'd keep you lot updated, yes I'm still taking on freelance aswell as that.

I have free time since I'm currently jobless. Yea I quit my job aha.

As you know I've been trying to collect up individuals for a new team/project. So far I have 1 or 2 since dA isn't the best place to look for individual skills since everyone tries to be like one another.

Basically the project wont be launched until end of september/early october since there is a lot to do, also things to think about like, "what makes it different to everyone else?" etc. Another thing is I have to help towards a project for new software which sounds awesome and there's a possible project with me and aryton (aotm partner).

But most important of all at the moment is a week holiday to spain me and my mate are going to, we leave on September 20th and get back the following weekend. Design is a second world to me, my social life is more important, some of you may agree, others not. But yea whatever, you may see a few more designs from me very soon.


I know it sounds stupid, well it might not? I used to play halo 3 a lot and the "pros" used to charge for like 1-2 hour lessons. I'm not saying I'm a design "pro" but do you think people would be interested in design lessons? If so I could give details of what I can give, vise versa.

The main things would be like, structural lessons, eye candy, how-to, techniques using mixtures of elements and more. Anything they request really.

Thats about all I have to say for now.

Please be aware that my current/latest deviations are not to my normal level simply because I'm trying to get as many sites done as possible in a short time. I am aware they aren't that amazing.

That's why I'd rather you not crit them when I submit them, they're for selling purposes only.

Thanks again.

Expect better deviations next week probably.

- =osec

_{Yes, I pimped my journal a bit}

Well I'm getting tired of making designs for clients though I still accept requests. All of my Web Deviations are for sale, note me if you are interested. Anyway back to what I wanted to say... I will be making a few sites during the week, some simple, some maybe more complex, each for sale to anyone.

Yes I am aware that you watch me for design wise not for purchasing but who cares right?

Oh, the Japanese text says "an individual talent", just for those that may wonder.

Regards,

=osec

Yea, so I decided to turn up at my work last night (nightclub) to find out why the hell I wasn't on the rota this week since I wasn't on last week either. Turns out that because I didn't check last week or this week even though I tried to phone and go in on many occasions to find out, I'm in the wrong? Somewhere along the line I signed something saying that If i don't turn up to see when I'm working I'd be wiped all of that week.

I then had a lovely discussion about it then got fired, my last words were "Ah rite, awesome, bye".

Even though I'm still looking/applying for jobs, I will be doing whatever freelance work people throw at me and for those of you who may have emailed me before like the guy who commented my last journal, add my personal msn account, I'm on there often enough - Broken_shizx@hotmail.com / Once again please don't add this unless you're requesting services, thanks.

I just came across a WP theme that I made a while ago, If anyone is interested in buying the PSD please contact me via msn (read previous paragraph for details). Please don't ask to see it for the sake of seeing it, and no I will not submit it.

First of all thanks to ¢elusive for subscribing me once again, it's always appreciated.

Secondly I'd like to thank all those deviants who have watched me or fav'd me recently, I don't get the time to individually comment all of you, I still don't understand how overs actually manage to do that. They must enjoy it?

Anyway, have yourselves a great weekend, thanks.

=osec

[EDIT] To back up my news article here is a friend of mine on dA *octaine who I believe has talent and isn't what a lot of deviants out there are, he is original. So check him out, give him some love and most importantly, watch him

Many thanks again.

So today is not looking too good for me. Oh not to forget I actually got kicked out of college on Tuesday. I received yet another letter today from o2 and for some reason its shot up from £245 to 500 something, I'm not happy? I'll have to contact them sometime, I really which I never got a fucking phone now.

I haven't even started with Christmas, my mum told me not to bother since I don't have much money. I get a few little things for people, who knows yet. Me and my mate have recently been scouring our city for jobs but as you may realize a few days before Christmas is not the time haha. So on that note I have to wait till January to look for a 2nd job since my current one I'm only getting roughly about 9 hours a week.

So recently I've been watching Tv a lot, apart from the normal eastenders and hollyoaks raz I seem to have become addicted to watching Gordan Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares, this guy has such a passion for food and its good to watch as he yells at pub/restaurant owners to buck up their style.

Another one is the Planet Earth series, normally I wouldn't watch documentaries at all but there is something different about this one that sucks you in and I get pretty fascinated by it. The detail it goes into is pretty phenomenal and of course having a first for knowledge like the presenter does makes it more interesting.

As I said in my previous journal I may have a design up soon before xmas, I may even create one today since I have nothing to do but until then, relax and live life to the max.

Happy Christmas,

*osec
