Alright, let me explain why I’ve been too busy to come up with a new comic.
Firstly, I’ve got tonnes of work that needs to be done. I’ve got six books to work on for Muis’ Curriculum Development Project (Madrasah textbooks and activity books that’s gonna be given out to madrasahs before the school term starts), multiple jobs from Symantec (eDMs, banners, brochures, etc), talking to potential overseas clients, arranging a meeting with some professional video editors for prospective video jobs, and some other stuff I can’t be public about cos that would conflict with the company business AND bore the heck out of you.
That’s work. Then there’s personal stuff such as replying to dozens of illustration/graphic design requests from visitors to this site, discussing ideas with a couple of friends on some projects on MSN while fiddling around with my wife’s new camera, fiddling around with my Ubuntu OS and iPod Touch, meeting my family and the latest addition to it (my sister’s baby) on weekends, etc.
I’m not complaining really, I guess when someone’s this busy, God is actually occupying him/her to stay away from mischief and wrongdoing! Alhamdulillah for that!
About the comics, drawing them is the easy part, what’s difficult is trying to come up with something that’s hilarious. Ideas anyone?
Ok I admit. I should’ve done another comic already but I haven’t. Other than being busy with work, I’ve been fiddling around with Ubuntu Linux for a bit, well…a lot actually!
I’m loving Ubuntu so much! An OS which I have total control over definitely rocks my geeky socks. I’ve configured my PC for dual-booting (Vista Ultimate x64 & Ubuntu 8.04) only because I still need to keep Vista for work. I’m doing everything else on Ubuntu already, so the only reasons I have to still keep using Vista is gaming and some design work. I mean Vista’s still nice and all, but Ubuntu looks a lot sweeter and works 10x faster on my Quad Core PC.
Here’s a screenshot of my Ubuntu desktop which I totally modded:
Sweet ain’t it?
Here you go Rafael and iMuslim! These are long overdue. The Chilean and the Finnish national flowers are the unique Copihue and the beautiful European Lily of the Valley, respectively. Many thanks to Bro. Rafael and Sis. iMuslim for the heads up!
Alhamdulillah, my sister gave birth to a handsome and healthy baby boy on the 11th of May (5 Jumadil-Awwal 1429H). His name is Muhammad Firas. May he grow up to be a righteous Muslim, keen of understanding and always one in remembrance of Allah Almighty.
Congrats to my sister, Shakirah and her husband, Muhammad Fadzli! Wow, I’m an uncle now!
Wow, I’ve been so busy, masha’Allah. We’ve been getting a lotta jobs here at Hannsmedia, the small design company that I’m in. And I gotta do a couple more cartoons for some visitors who’ve requested for them. As soon as my sense of sarcasm kicks in, I’m gonna do another Shaikr cartoon insha’Allah. Hold on dear visitors!
