Well that took some time, but at least we're back!

A little over two months since the last post here at Silent Sound Waves, and I'll admit there haven't really been much going on behind the scenes either. I've just been busy doing other things, and as I have mentioned earlier, I didn't want to officially open up this …

Stickboy - A simple boy made of sticks

Stickboy is our first featured fresh wave

I could not think of a single better way to start the "Fresh Waves" column than sharing one of my favourite musical discoveries of the year. Although some might say that with close to fifty-five thousand friends at MySpace, …

Helpless

Or just hopeless, hell if I know.

To Do List

1. Find the girl, commit the perfect crime, steal her heart and do the time.


2. Get the blog

I love my iPhone!

I've had my iPhone active for a little over a week now, and I must say that I've completely fallen in love with it! Except for the poor battery, which I am certain could have been a lot better, everything is great so far.

This post is really just to test out the …

Nothing special at all

So it is 9AM and here I am at the University, with nothing to do. Had a lecture scheduled to start at eight, but it got cancelled, so right now I'm just surfing around the web and wasting time. I have no litterature from the curriculum yet as they have yet to arrive at …

New version of the blog is up!

It is with great pleasure I can announce that the new and (hopefully) very improved version of my blog has launched. Although technically it has been publicly available for a day now as I was working on it, but it's always nice to make a spectacle about these things, I …

Maintenance alert!

My blog is currently in severe maintenance mode while I restructure it. I don't know how long it will take, as this depends on how much I feel like working on it Hopefully it won't be too long before I can present you with something "new" though.

PS: This is actually …

Plans for Silent Sound Waves

While I am hard at work laying down the groundwork which will hopefully serve as a foundation for the success of my new blog, Silent Sound Waves, which will hopefully launch for real within a few weeks, I thought I'd share some of the things I plan on doing over …

When it rains, it pours.

And when it stops and the sun shines again, all you have to do is get yourself cleaned up and get back on the horse! Hope you liked my little metaphor, I spent a couple of days thinking it out. Anyways, I know you've all been wondering where I've been and what's been …

The Dark Knight is officially a box office hit.

Breaking news from Hollywood is that Heath Ledger, actor famous from his role in Brokeback Mountain and many others, has been found dead in his appartment. Another tragic incident where the pressure of public expectation seems to have driven one more into the …

Whip out the tools and get back to work!

As some of you might have noticed, we just made the leap into a brand new year, and what better time could there be to grab a clean state and give yourself a fresh start? For me (especially after the long, undesired break) it seems like the perfect chance to reach out …

Every WordPress fan needs one of these!

Geek is the new cool. Or in my case, cool is the new geek! When I saw the link to this WordPress Hoodie on my WordPress dashboard, I knew I had to get one. After all, I am a sucker for a nice hoodie, seeing how nothing beats one when you feel like going casual, or when …

It's a special day

Today is that day, the one that only comes around once every four years, so I thought it would be appropriate to mark the day with another update from my end for those of you out there who have been waiting for one.

Already in my previous post I mentioned some of my …

Thoughts on WPDesigner being sold

If you hadn't caught the news yet, one of the most recognized sources for all things WordPress, WPDesigner (currently unaccessible for some reason) has been put up for sale by its founder and current owner, "Small Potato". You can view the auction over at SitePoint.

Upgrade - WordPress 2.5

I just upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.5, and I have to take some time to familiarize myself with the brand new back-end. I will come back soon with some impressions as soon as I get the hang of this.

I'm excited to see if the editor now finally works properly in …

Bits and pieces

What's that image right there on the left? Well I'm happy to say that's a little preview of the new design I'm working on for this blog. I've been growing increasingly tired of the current design, which is partly why I haven't posted a whole lot lately. And this time I …
