One step closer to my dreams

Thomas Helmn — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:08:46 +0000

Every day I struggle to keep going and keep focused on the tasks at hand, but with ideas flooding my mind, stress taken over my concentration and time ticking by…I will not fail I will succeed, I will come out stronger at the end.

One things for sure, I have walked on the valley of despair and anguish, but that’s all behind now and every step that I take and will be taking will be one step closer to my dreams!!!

Big Scare!!!

Today after a week setting this website and it’s blog for a client, I began securing the site and configuring the users and the sign in procedures when I ticked the wrong box and executed the command and….all hell broke loose!!!!

I lost all chance to log back in as admin to the site and it was jumping back and forth from the local machine to the “live” one and no chance to log back in….

Now I know it sounds paranoid but thank God I always create a backup of everything included the database throughout the whole developing process just in case, is a bit of extra work but it’s better to have one and never need it, than to need one and never have it!!!

After a few minutes restoring everything back to its old version I was back in business and only lost a few images that were updated today, so no big deal!!

WOW!!!! amazing stuff

Obviously Someone has to much time on their hands and to much money to spend ;o))

Nice day at the studio

After sometime away from the studio I had a nice day today photographing a friend who’s pregnant and about to give birth by the end of the month….

reigniting my other passion!!!

I recently decided to get back into my doing something that has taken a back seat in my life, I know that for some people is a game for others is the closest they could get to the “real deal”….and that’s flying on Microsoft’s Flight Simulator.

For those who know me well enough know that this was and is one of those unfulfilled ambitions of being able to pilot a real plane.

I never thought that the “simers” community was so big and diverse, I discovered this after having the courage to sign in to the virtual community of VATSIM and start training as an ATC and be able to have my first online flight just a couple of days ago. It has been a very enjoyable experience. So now I can say I have my own signature banner :o))

960gs (grid system)

Thomas Helmn — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 22:24:09 +0000

I started playing around with the 960gs CSS layout system this week.
It is a very helpful tool when deciding what sort of layout are you going to use for your site, as it takes away the figuring out most of the basic CSS structure of your layout…and if you are like me and come from an “old school” print background this is very easy to pick up.
I must admit that I’m still in the early stages of a couple of projects so hopefully I’ll post soon the links with the results.

Here’s the link if you are interested in the 960gs http://960.gs/

AT LAAAAST!!!!!

After many months away from the KB I finally finished updating my website’s design.
I hope that the new design appeals to a much greater audience, resulting in more commissioned work…any comments are more than welcomed

Feed positive thinking….starve negative ones!!!

Thomas Helmn — Thu, 20 May 2010 14:12:44 +0000

I was reading a guide for improving self-esteem and the phrase “Feed positive thinking….starve negative ones!!!” came into mind….

It seems that our brain hard-wires all of our life long experiences (positive and negatives) and in on a particular event it triggers what it had stored in those cells….so if one is enjoying an action it triggers all the good endorphines with the increased pleasures of happiness, whilst any bad experience it brings out the bad memories and doubts from our past, making us depressed and vulnerables….

So lets start a campaign “Feed positive thinking….starve negative ones!!!”

I have just realized how pro-active one has to be to make a successful blog…and with all this “hype” about social networking and blogging/vloggings it’s made the whole thing a propper job to mantain.

I must admit I’m still a “noob” in all this and find difficult what to talk about…..any ideas???
