Thanks! I'm done with the spaghetti thing, that was more of a fad.

The only decent public domain clipart I could find was a cookie, so I stuck with it. And no problem!

xero: I've read Neuromancer and Cory Doctorow's Little Brother saga, I plan on expanding my cyberpunk reads list this year.

Neuromancer is the only Gibson book worth reading... I read a couple others and wanted to hang myself. I know, fiction is like art -- its in the eye of the beholder, blah blah blah.

...also, I'm prone to fits of drunken ramblings.

Why do you regret it? I've been thinking of starting to do it myself...

Having to deal with clients is very stressful because a good majority of them expect you to come up with ideas for the website look and expect you to practically be an advertising agency.
