Painkillers, lots of water and crappy TV-series is the way to cure the flu!

03cute.large1 Been really sick with the flu (jippie…) for a couple of days now, but that hour in the middle of the day when I almost feel like a living person I’ve been thinking of re-vamping the WP Blank themes. You all seem to really enjoy them judging from your comments (which I’m so very flattered by!) and there are som small improvements I’ve been thinking about doing. We’ll see when I get back to land of the living for more than air… *lol*

And on the subject of WP Blank I have two request to all of you out there! First off, if you’ve made a translation I’d love to post it here (one in spanish is on it’s way already). Don’t hold back, mail them to me at wpblank ( at ) annalinnea.net if you want to share!

Secondly; I’d so love to see what you’ve created, using the WP Blank themes! So flaunt your stuff!! :D

BTW… I feel i bit like this cat in the mornings… *lmao*

Now I’m going to get back to doing…nothing. Sounds like a plan.

Jolicloud; Linux OS for netbooks in the works

ubuntu-logo Just yesterday I finally got around to replacing Linux Linpus Lite on my Aspire One with Ubuntu. This was my first real contact with Linux and I must say I was blown away by how easy it was to get it going. I can see why it’s the so far most popular distribution of Linux. And most importantly for me; it made my netbook about 10 times more useful…!

So, to get to the point of this post… Jolicloud is a Linux distribution being developed specifically for netbooks (the common name for those small and cheap laptops that are on their way to world domination and begun with the admirable One Laptop Per Child-organisation) and judging by the looks of this screenshot it seems like a little piece of heaven for our beloved itsy,bitsy computers… :)

These are a few of my favourite things

You know that sound that comes from coffee makers when it’s almost done? That bubbly kind of sound…

That’s my favorite sound in the world, because it reminds me of my grandparents. (And that my coffee is done!) They always woke up really early in the mornings, around 05:00, and the first thing they did was to brew some coffee and sit down together by the kitchen table while having the first cup of coffee for the day.

And waking up to that sound and smell – the coffee brewing and my grandparents quietly talking to eachother in the kitchen – was just one of the nicest things I knew as a kid. It’s a fond memory and it comes back everytime I hear that coffee machine! :D

Minimalistic webdesign

Modistiskt.se_1231598166906 

I was asked to do a blogdesign for a fashionblog – Modistiskt.se – by a girl that I’ve done some designs for earlier and I must say it was fun to create something so different from what done lately!

I love the webdesign trends with handwritten fonts, grunged up graphics and natural textures such as wood and sand, but I must admit that I’m really pleased with look and freshness of Modistiskt.se. It’s still a bit of a work in progress, but I’ll make sure to clutter it to much… ;)
