The New Nissan Pixo!



I have finally done it...I have scrapped my old Merc for a new Nissan Pixo.

I have to say that I am glad that I did because the other car was falling to bits week by week, and when the back suspension went again I decided to call it a day!

It was quite a shock going from a 2.3Litre car to a 1.0Litre car, but what would you prefer £34 pounds to fill up or £71 pounds to fill up! Plus it does 3 times as many miles on one tank of fuel!

Anyway here's to the New Pixo!

Its good to be back!

It feels so good to be back working on the website. I feel that I have been away for so long, but in that time Liz has managed to upload hundred's of new 3D textures to the site.

Just been uploading a few ornate textures to the site which have just gone live.

Waiting on Content Paradise.

This seems to be what my life involves now...waiting!

Waiting for this to upload, waiting for that to upload! And then once it has uploaded then begins the editing of each individual image on multiple sites. It is amazing how the hell I can keep track sometimes and keep another job going. I just wish that there was more hours in the day with which to keep the images flowing in!

Content Paradise is yet another website that I upload my texture creations to that I like to use.

Scrappage Deal...

The time has finally come when I have to say goodbye to my beloved car, and trade it in for a new car using the UK scrappage deal.

I am going to miss my beautiful 1993 Black 2.3 Mercedes 220 Coupe...but the cost of keeping this beast running was just getting too great. The other day it cost me to fill up nearly £70 British Pounds! I cannot any longer justify paying that!

I have decide to go for a completely different car the new 1 Litre Nissan Pixo N-Tec which does over 60MPG compered to the Mercs 22MPG... it is a lovely car and I cannot wait to pick it up later this week.

With a heavy heart I condemn the Merc to the crusher! I feel so bad! lol

Walking on the South Downs

Boy am I tired I have just walked about ten miles today up and down the South Downs near my home in Epsom. The views from there are just brilliant and very pretty...not much in the way of textures but definitly some images for stock photography:


The view is from a small temple that is over looking Reigate, Surrey. One of the most beautiful views that I have ever seen. It is off the beat and track but well worth a visit.

NationStates

At the moment I am playing a brilliant game online called NationStates where you have to decide what to do on a daily basis! So far my country of Hawkegrad has turned into a Psychotic Dictatorship very quickly!

Come and check out

The Republic of Hawkegrad

Please do not feed the Hawks...they bite!

The Republic of Hawkegrad is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 463 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, adultery has been made a capital offence, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Hawkegrad after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawkegrad's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the hawkmo.

Hawkegrad is ranked 47,755th in the world for Most Avoided.

Rude Person!

I just woke up today to discover that we have been left such a rude message that was sent on our contact form. It reads like this:

Your sign up for is broken. The birth date does not validate. Fix it assholes.

I wouldn't mind so much but he had not even given us a real email address to contact him on to sort out the problem.

I could understand his frustration if he had been paying for a service which he had not recieved but we are offering free textures! It sounds like he was pissed off because he couldn't rip us off fast enough...lol

I am not being funny but we have worked very hard to get the website to this stage after just seven months and to have someone like that email us just really annoys me!

Is it my fault that he didn't read how to input the data on the form?

Anyway enough of the moaning it is a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and I am off out to take some photos.

Uploading the latest Window textures.

Just in the process of uploading the latest window textures.


Broken the 400'000 ranking!

After 8 months of tireless uploading and marketing we at iSourceTextures have finally broken into the top 400'000 websites in the world. It may not sound much but considering how many websites are out there I think that we have done a great job with the help of our members.

So thankyou all who have helped reach this milestone!

Talking of members we have just passed the 700 members mark!
