Just my luck

Had to go somewhere important tomorrow morning, just had to do a few finishing touches on a pdf file to print and burn to cd… Just my bloody luck… Open office 3 hangs…

I kill the process, everything else seems to crawl to a halt, so I do a reboot, just in case… ERROR!!!! I run the live cd to check if I can at least acces my files, no luck, the hdd can’ t be mounted for some reason. If this where an old computer it’d be smashed to bits now… Ubuntu 9.04 no points for you… I’ve been looking into how to fix it for a while now, and I haven’t found a workable solution yet.

Fortunately I just did a fresh install and backed up pretty much everything, but all the work from last week, vectors, logo’s etc is gone. Or at least on a drive that cannot be mounted….

I’m gonna get some sleep. Enough shit for now.

logo’s, trucks and vector’s

Last few posts have been focussing on some vector stuff. There’s a reason for that. There are a few potential employers that like to see more of that kind of work, and because I’ve been wanting to get into inkscape anyway.

Today, a quick logo for my website, or something, a fake logo with a traced and cleaned image from a truck, and a 3D render of a weird trucklogo. There’s X number of trucklogo’s out there that have an image of a truck like this, with the companies name next to it. So while it’s not the best idea for a logo (plus there might be legal issues, it’s pretty obvious what kind of truck it is), it was a good idea to recreate it for practise anyway. The render is for a friend of mine, just for laughs, unless he actually likes it, then he can have it. Gonna start on a new character rig for someone else now.
