No I'm NOT dead yet....

...just taking a little break :-)

May 18, 2006 12:17 PM by Apocalypse_67 Discussion: General Discussion

Yeah it's been a while and I sure miss all the fun.

I've been getting all sort of mail with questions such as 'Are you stil alive?', 'Did you stop skinning?', 'Did you move to another skinning site?' etc. And I want to thank my friends and all those that have been writing and were concern about me.
Well.... yes, I'm stil alive, I have not gone to another site and NO I have not stop skinning. I've been very busy with work and personal projects and I have very little to no time to skin and share my work.
But I have not forgoten WC nor the people here and I will be sharing some new work as soon as I get a break from my personal duties. (I just hope I can remember how to upload

)
BTW, is Jafo still around? well, he'll show up to correct my spelling soon

Oh, I noticed Adni hit the 10 mil mark. Congrats my friend

WC Skinning Contest: Christmas Edition

Ho, ho, ho...... Merry Christmas.

Nov 14, 2005 12:30 AM by Apocalypse_67 Discussion: General Discussion

After many emails inquiring about the next skinning contest, I'm in the process of putting together another community skinning contest.
This time there will be a few changes from the previous contests. The big change will be the judging method. Instead of downloads, the winners will be picked by a panel of judges.
Skins will be judged on originality, performance, style and quality. This contest will also have a chosen theme (Christmas)
I'm starting the contest with the WindowBlinds category. The 1st place winner of a Christmas WB skin will receive an OD subscription/extension.
The second place winner will receive a WinCustomize Subscription/extension.
I'm still waiting on the response of a couple of sponsors to add more prizes and perhaps more categories to compete.
As always my Email is open to sponsors that would like to contribute.

Christmas is about 6 weeks away. This should give everyone enough time to put together a nice skin.
The official announcement will be made during the week or as soon as the sponsors reply. In the mean time, open those graphic programs and get those ideas on the screen canvas

GRRRR!!! I'm sick & tired of these hurricanes

Who invited Wilma to the party?

Oct 24, 2005 1:57 AM by Apocalypse_67 Discussion: General Discussion

And here we are again facing yet another hurricane.
As of 10:30 pm the storm has reached cat 3 strength and after spending most of the day putting up shutters and buying supplies, I am now drained and bored out of my mind. Hopefully we won’t loose power but I seriously doubt that.
So for all those that reside on the southern part of the Florida state, be cautious and be safe.
