As some of you may know, I run SNW. And with SNW, comes Simpedia. Simpedia is a big online Sims encyclopedia with articles, press releases, screenshots, cheats et cetera. It’s also a project that never really ends. Because it consists of the oldest Sims games and the newest Sims games. Also, EA won’t stop making Sims games! That’s okay, we don’t want them to stop or anything :p But it also means that we’ll always have something to add to Simpedia when new products are announced and released.

The reason I’m posting this, is because I’m currently working on Simpedia. Not only because a new expansion pack (Free Time) is being added. But I’m also designing a new Simpedia. Right now it’s very messy, it *needs* some good cleaning. I’m reorganizing the whole thing. And of course I’m adding loads of media. This takes up a lot of time. I figured it would be a good idea to share this information for those of you who are interested in SNW and what happens around it.

You can expect the new Simpedia somewhere at the end of January. Perhaps a little earlier, this kinda depends on factors like the amount of news I have to keep up with and, you know, my personal life. :p

I’m currently working on ChEeTaH’s new blog/theme. I promised to make a new one for him. But until this day, I did not release one for him. That’s because of many reasons:

1. I have designed many ‘prototypes’, but I considered none of them good enough. I’m very picky and I just didn’t like the previous versions enough to work any further.
2. ChEeTaH will be using Drupal 6. And he is now waiting for a stable release. I can’t blame him for that.
3. Despite the fact that I promised this -I think- more than a year ago, I have been extremely busy with many projects and personal life issues. So everything, including his blog, became less important to work on.

Since I have more time now, I have started working on this new design, which I do like. I’ve shown it to a few other people too, they loved it. We expect the stable release of Drupal to appear within a few months, so it’s a good idea to finish up the new design a.s.a.p.

That’s all for now. I won’t show you any screenshot, just yet. For this one, you’ll have to wait until it’s finished.

The following YouTube video is part of the Catherine Tate Christmas Show. Lauren Cooper, the “I’m not bovvered” character dies in this episode. Too bad I really really really liked this character.
