I’m with the band

U2 Euro Vertigo Tour Madness 2005 is about to start. I will leave for Brussels in the morning, make a brief stop back in Amsterdam on Saturday and then off to Gelsenkirchen (Germany) on Sunday. ‘Try not to enjoy yourself and not to treat it all as ‘work’, a friend said earlier today. I must confess that what I am feeling right now has more in common with a sense of tradition and duty and less with excitement or passion. But when the lights go down and The Edge hits us with whatever he’s planning to do with that new ‘holosonic‘ stuff he’s apparently trying out this tour, the adrenaline will probably start kicking in.

Second thoughts about this malarkey

Hmm. I don’t like WordPress at all. I don’t like that I don’t have a linky blog. I hate that I have to add a plug in to be able to do something as simple as upload images. I have to click around so much, my pen tool’s worn out. And most of all I hate having 1000+ ‘draft’ posts and no way to either publish or delete them in one go. I’m not keen on its GUI either.I like the design of my site, though, even if the bulk of it isn’t mine. I just made it prettier. But WordPress has to go. Soon. Maybe I’ll go back to MT for a while, until I figure out how to port this design (with the ‘first post – different look’) to Pivot.Elsewhere, Tom Coates minimalises even more — up front, in your face, lovely.

It’s the season of giving! No it’s not, but I’m feeling generous. No, I’m not, but Flickr just awarded me a couple of free Flickr Pro accounts to give away. Want one?
