I’ve been using multi protocol IM clients for a long time, and I’ve used a bunch of them, Trillian in various flavors, Miranda, Meebo etc and they all had one major flaw or another.
Trillian: Payware, and very constrained in it’s modification possibilities, skins is the only way to really change it and they’re not [...]
The design of this site spans nearly 3 months, from early December 2007 to late February 2008, only a few elements have remained and none of them without modifications.

I think it’s all done, let me know if you spot something out of place.
I’ve switched the site from lightbox to thickbox, it’s almost the same but looks a whole lot better, simply click any thumbnail with a colored outline to see a larger version.

A simple preview of the second version of my theme in progress with a screenshot of the old version for comparison, it’s in a quite early stage but it should give a good idea of the direction I’m taking the design in, it’s 560px wide thus a 640px wide screen + vertical scrollbar and side [...]
The navigation is now done, the gallery page doesn’t exist yet so getting a 404 is normal, the contact page hasn’t been given an overhaul yet, it’s next.
Done the contact page, not too sure how much to put there, I want people to be able to get in touch with me but posting my phone [...]
The header backgrounds are done, in all their randomized glory.
Navigation is coming along nicely.
