We were asked to provide a new website for the PCP program at Keio University here in Tokyo.

Coding by Erik Johansson, design by myself.

The website is offered in English and Japanese, and is fully standards compliant.

evoloution of currency fonts?

I once read somewhere that all the best design is refined by the end user. Take greengrocers for example, they have to use currency symbols and measurement symbols every day. No computers, keyboards or pda’s. Just a scrap of paper and a pencil.

What ever happened to the double strike on currency symbols?

freeze

18th of Feb, 2008ce* in: diary

I never realised it could be this cold for so long!

I moved into my apartment just over 2 years ago, at that time there was bugger all furniture, just me and a sleeping bag. Soon after my boxes arrived from the UK. Now my apartment is stuffed with junk. I remember it being seriously cold back then, and the following year. However the following year I was working from another location, so the cold didn’t really affect me. That year, I promised myself I’d buy some kind of heater, as my air conditioner is useless. Well, this year, I failed once again, and come home to the Freeze.

Actually I have a certain amount of computer things to do when I get home, but it’s just too freaking cold. I end up hibernating under the covers! Too late to buy a heater now as next month it’s gonna get comfortable again no doubt. Next year, I promise myself!

Although we’re not using this on the final site build, I thought I’d add it to my illustration portfolio, I may even make some system icons from the controllers!
