Wish I had some money for it but as a programmer on sick pay (depression and ADD) money is scarce (as you probably know). My two pet projects that really would need an designers eye is DNSDigger.com and Rendip.com. For now the only thing i could offer is ad space.

I don't mean to pry or question anything, but I'm mostly curious... Your employer let you take sick pay for ADD / depression?

I don't mean to sound rude, I'm entirely curious. I'm all for mental health and managing it appropriately (me: asperger's / ADD / some of the worst anxiety you can fathom = the worst combo ever; I somehow manage) Just seems... odd. That's all.

I am suffering the backlashes from a "failed" suicide attempt 2½ years ago. I stuffed myself with all the pills i had and took enough insulin to kill a horse. It makes it much harder for me to concentrate long enough to have a real work. The money i get is from the government. And when i have the energy and concentration i try to work with my own project hoping that they will grow enough for me to finance myself.
