Well, this is it - the last post of 2005... A year I would definately want to forget - yet also remember.

This year everything seemed to turn against me. First I was sacked in March, had the car crash in September and my computer was hit by a major virus in November.

Yet, it also proved to be a positive year. I started my own company, had a great start and finished 2005 on a high. I've also managed to line up some very interesting projects to keep me busy in January 2006.

All and all it was an amazing year. It had everything in it. There was depression (sacked), motivation (own company), success (also own company), shock (car accident September) and so many more emotions.

Maybe in a few years time I'll describe this year as the most entertaining year after all. Anyway, I am ready for another kick-ass year. I hope to see you back in 2006. I am currently working on a new version of the website with some pretty interesting changes - at least I like to think so!

Apart from all this stuff I just hope you have a great Christmas and wish you all the very best for the exciting new year!
Cheers and hope to see you around in 2006!

True. It may appear this card lacks creativity as it is the one I have been sending out as proud owner of Project 79 - serious multimedia company.

But its just that I am so busy these last weeks of 2005 - finishing some things and starting some interesting new ones... So I couldn't find enough free time to make an original card for this website. I apologize for that. You have my word I'll place an original one on this site next year.

To all of you: A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR!!! Also many thanks for visiting this website in 2005 - hope to see you come back once in a while in 2006! ; )

All the best, Corné

Hope you've had a great weekend - just like me. I had a brilliant time because me and Nadine celebrated being a couple for 2 years now. Wow, time goes fast when you're having fun.

We've been to a great restaurant we have been before. If you're ever in Eindhoven, give Listers a go.

The food is really good and its not all that expensive. The only negative about it is that you have to wait quite some time for them to bring the bill - but again, that sounds positive, right? ; )

Now, back to the order of the day - my busy schedule...

If you've read this entire website (which you shouldn't - just takes too much time, I advise to just look at the images) you would have known I mainly use Adobe and Macromedia software.

Some time ago there was an acquisition and now both companies are Adobe. Actually that is a very cool thing because it will perfectly combine all the different software tools I use of Adobe and the formerly known Macromedia.
Adobe has stepped it up a notch and has started the re-branding of Macromedia. But I think it'll take me a while to stop saying Macromedia Flash or Macromedia Director...

Take care.

Every now and then I check the reports of this website. They show me how often the site was visited and more. Last month was another thrill - 60.000 visitors! Thanks!

This means last November was the second best ever. My record is still 153.826 visitors (August 2005). The second best used to be September 2005 with 44.459 visitors but has now become November 2005 with 61.285 visitors.

It appears Italy, India, Brazil, France, Mexico, Australia and a few more have found my site a lot lately. Thanks for all the hits. I aim to put more stuff online soon as a thank you to everyone visiting this website.

Actually, if you've got anything you'd expect from this website in 2006 just let me know. I aim to please. This website is meant as a source of inspiration and source of information so feel free to put forward your ideas to improve the site!

Anyway, thank you all for visiting my website lately. I hope to update it more often in 2006 and include more information about my work and how it was made. Hope to see you around in 2006. And although I will put it in the blog later too - I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a fantastic, brilliant and stunning 2006, wherever you are!

All the best,
C.

Now the Project 79 name has been out there for some time it is also getting noticed. This is resulting in more work every month - yeeha!

The workload for the coming weeks is looking pretty full so there's no complaining there. The projects have also been very different - which is also really cool! I've done house styles, posters, designs, 3D animations, 2D animations, Flash animations and more.

Sorry to bug you with my company again and again, but wouldn't you be as excited as I am that my business is going strong?

All the best.
