Horror Website: Celtic Darkness

Yesterday saw the release of a website I’ve been working on for a friend, it’s something that you get asked to do from time to time, and the chance to earn a little bit of money on none Ubuntu/Free Software projects.

It’s something that has to be done until the community of Free Software users (including the Ubuntu community) really believes in a paid developer driven model. The full time Ubuntu community junkies will have to do projects like this or face the problem of jugeling a full time job working on propritary software and trying to fit free software advocacy on top of that.

Which is the lesser of two evils? I’d prefer of course to be working on Free Software and earning money from it, but that is ultimatly in the hands of users and if they can be convinced of the neccessity of opening their wallets for developers and project organizers to get much needed work done.

So, back on topic, in this project I did both the design and production, I like some of the creepy vibes I managed to get in. Cudos to Inkscape, Gimp, Vi, Firefox and Gnome for all the tools I used creating it. If any of you are into the whole Irish Celtic mythology or horror stories, I’m sure my friend’s writings and poems will interest you too:
