ehehe... the 500 issue is a thing of the past since Wasted Years.
Also I catched Dirtie's cold and am still sneezing, coughing and drinking herbal teas.
The intro is now on pouet, although I regard the traditional periodical crack-intro-updaters as rather trivial.
Usually I give Dirtie this little goody as a bonus to put into the archive of all other mdS releases (mainly music).
Regarding design and colour schemes, I often refer to
the Kuler tool to get some inspiration.
