After one week nearly offline yesterday (checking email, nothing else) I was enthusiastic to continue Coloria updates which I started on October. But destiny had decided otherwise. I had a killing headache, that even a hot bath in a dark bathroom with a few painkillers didn't cure. I had to go back to bed. I woke up without pain at about 6.30pm after which I had a moment of blankness. However, somehow I managed to collect my energyball rolling again and sat before my c:ter planning to start updating. As I sat down I noticed that I had got a lot of emails with *Coloria forum* as their subject. Several people vere sorry about the fact that Coloria forum had been hacked. WTF?


And so it was. Hacked by some Turkish nerd idiot. First I though that it would be an easy - just configuring a bit mySQL. I got the hack-msgs removed but I didn't get to return my admin rights. So I had to get my backup (at this stage I thanked powers-that-be about the fact that I DID take a full backup copy on the beginning of December) and install it. But as these unfair stories often go: something-error-fatal-unknown-&%¤%¤¤##. The whole forum crashed. I did find one older BUcopy from Jan2005 and got it installed. So I didn't have to re-configure the whole forum but all the messages and info from this whole year went missing.


S##t.


Maybe better luck today. I'll get more some cold coffee and continue my backup-project. Transferring all my workfiles to m-stick in case this computer would explode. I wouldn't wonder at all.


Here - better late than never: go and build yourself a snowman.

Getting a bit serious here. Went to sleep at about four in the morning. Well, went to bed anyway. Yesterday I continued making Periferia demo and all small Muhi adjustments. But somehow it feels I haven't got very far with them. With Muhi I'm starting to be a bit too anxious to see it finally finished and I feel that my brain is locked most of the time. No new ideas, no creativity. With Periferia, Simo has got a strong vision how the site should be (always better than 'duh, dunno') and I'm half way through making it. But I'm not all too happy with the layout things. It's always harder to realize someone else's ideas and visions while youself know have something totally different in mind. Maybe mostly because there are a lot of these simple looking little things that turn always out to be most difficult ones to make. A lot of time spent in help forums lately...



But anyway: something good also. Demosite for Opus is finished and I just got a message from Elina - they really like it! I enjoy making that one: even if it's simple the look of the site will be somewhat not-so-conventional with a quite wild watercolor splashes. I'll transfer it soon online.



Christmas coming up - I see it every year from the pile of papers and amount of emails I receive. Panicing people all around. I'll have to make some kind of list all the unfinished business there is still lurking. Maybe I could then get something done. One of them being a report of our Live Herring to those who granted us some money. And glad to say: some more progress made with the festival...

A few days ago updated a few more images to LiveHerring - flickr.


Layout finishing and setting up demo sites for Periferia Design and Opus publications. Some layout plans for the conservatory of Kuopio and some small thingies for never ending Muhi project.


I've been half sick and all panicking here. There's so much things to be finished and I'm not getting there...
Not a good day, this one.
