If you were wondering why this site was seemingly dormant, then the design refresh will give you the answer. The site has been a given a slight facelift, but a considerable overhaul in the backend to make the site more manageable. Feedback about the design is of course welcome. However, this design is an inbetween design while a completely new design is been worked on, therefore some parts of the site are down, such as the blog. The new design is due for release sometime early in 2010. So any features you would like to see, then please email them to me and I will try my best to incorporate them into the new design.

The DTM wallpaper is finally up in a variety of sizes to choose from to suit your monitor settings. On a slightly (only very slightly) related note, the photo blog will be updated as and when, and not on the 1st and 15th of each month. This gives me more chance to work on something around my work schedule without hurrying something through. And also keeps you on your toes for updates :)
