I went to get measured for Yasmine’s wedding next week. Since I was in the Oxford Circus area I decided to actually walk around and take in the pre-christmas atmosphere. Decided to buy a Mocha from Nero, it was without a doubt one of the worst coffee’s I’ve had in a long while. Expensive and crap, well that’s life, at least that means I won’t be buying something from there for a pretty long time,…if ever again.

I walked in Borders and scoped out the magazine section. Saw the Adbusters magazine and saw a whole bunch of other graphic design mags and illustration mags. 3x3 was something I’d not noticed before. The back cover really made me smile because I recognised the art straight away. It’s the esteemed James Jean. I wondered upstairs to the graphic novel section, dude it’s increased big time, I turn the corner and I counted like 6 people sitting around reading comics. Seriously I thought that was the coolest thing in the world. I’ll be going there some time again maybe striking up a conversation with fellow comic boys and gals, since I don’t really get that chance very often to be honest.

Iliosnare will be going live in a small fashion pretty soon I think. I’ve thought of the bare basic structure to the site and I think it’s about time I did something about it. With the release of Chameleon I think it’ll be about time. Chameleon might have to be postponed for a week or so. I’ve been working on a number of other projects right now and it’s pretty hard to finish all the bits and pieces that I have in mind for the official release. I’ve finished the front cover for the manual though and I’m really happy with that. Yeah there is going to be a manual for the thing, it will come as a pdf and should explain everything that’s needed really, from both a coding point of view and from the architecture and philosophy.
