You are The DevilMateriality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition. Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it. What Tarot Card are You?

It was the annual Pit Halloween event last Saturday - which was truly splendid. And which I actually won!!! For those that don't remember, last year I rocked up as a Viking and over did it with the weight to floor-being-able-to-sustain-me ratio, so this year, I tried a much lighter ensemble. Didn't stop me sweating my goolies off all night though! Taking a rather impressive 3 months to construct from scratch (Of which most of that was the helm), I rolled into the event as the WitchKing of Angmar. Costume comprised the following... 1 sheet of pressed steel 1 pair of Garden gloves. 2 boxes of Black dye 1 bedthrow 15 meters of Sari material. 12 vinyl floor tiles 1 tube of metal weld 1 tube of epoxy resin 5 tubes of superglue 28 splt pins 1 can of Silver Hammerite 1 can of Black Hammerite 1 tin of gold paint 1 tin of rust paint 1 Dremel tool. Stunningly daunting to start with, when I was faced with raw materials and some stills from the ROTK, but once it got going, took shape quite quickly. Some pictures (Suitably artified with the pub background removed) of it in full use. Now - onto next years... which I have already started. Might try something really hard for the next one. How sad! And yes - that really is me under there and yes - I really did make it all. Enjoy.   Current Location: Latitude 51° 28'N / Longitude 0° 19'W

One of my practice/experimental ideas, which I was going to use as an example site in my portfolio got snapped up by an existing client, before I'd even got it onto the server! Their old one is thus: http://www.riskgovernance.com The new one (Which is not finished yet and still has a lot of sodding about to do) is: http://www.ravensloft.co.uk/clients/rgl/
It's not big and it's not clever, but it is clean and simple and considering I was only sodding about in practice mode one night to knock that together, it has netted me £750. It was this one: http://www.ravensloft.co.uk/clients/actros/ , the original experiment, that made them want to change over (I was trying to draw glass freehand). So the moral of the story is, never throw anything away. You'd be surprised what you can sell to small financial and risk asessment groups as 98% of their sites suck! I have three other financial sites in dev at the moment because the industry sites in general are so pants and its a nice little monetary bonus! I don't claim to be the best at what I do, but I do claim to know what I am doing :) (And before ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tearsxintherainsays anything - they will probably fail every single accessibility test! :) ) Current Location: Latitude 51° 28'N / Longitude 0° 19'W
