Children of Bodom and a Finished Project

Ah, it feels great to have finally finished my project. I'm listening to Children of Bodom and trying to relax myself after days of hard work. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this hard, but it was. The thing about bypassing the PHP upload limit was particularly challenging. On opening an inquiry ticket from the website support, I discovered that they were using suPHP which made things a whole lot simpler for me and I just had to upload a .htaccess file with a one line command in it along with a php.ini file with the required upload and cap parameters. Another thing which caused a lot of dismay was the incorrect absolute path inside the DOCman Joomla module which was causing all the uploads to fail. The rest of the design process, although cumbersome, went fairly smoothly and I am happy with the results. The Rockettheme Equinox was used as the template and was modified a little to match the colour scheme requirements of the site.

Here is the finished version,

I finally got my first online interview!

Being a student in a foreign country can be a daunting task, at one hand if you are living in a place like Sweden (me for example), you only know one language as an international student, English. On the other hand trying to earn some money on the side can be really harsh especially when one cannot speak Swedish. So, I tried my hand on doing online graphics and web design projects. I first tried rentacoder.com but to my demise, it has been just more work and less pay. On the other hand I did strike some luck with ODesk.com. Now the good thing about Odesk is that you get paid according to the number of hours you apply at a job (or at an hourly rate to be more precise). I have been called up for an online interview which I'll be taking online. If you are one of those freelancers, looking for a job, I think oDesk is a perfect place to start!
