Adobe Creative Suite Trial Exhaustion

Well - my creative suite trial is over and I can safely say the last month has left me truly exhausted!! You get all the software on trial for a month - Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Fireworks, In Design, Photoshop and Flash.
Running on a diet of caffeine and tutorial sites I have put a couple of new sites together that might hopefully be of interest.
First up: http://www.k-records.org
This is a site I have wanted to make for a long time really just a home for all the TLDK material I have done - along with a couple of podcasts - more of which I am going to do over the weekend. Lizzie designed the Logo in Illustrator - I am using a superb wordpress plugin to deliver the podcast and found the coverflow doobrey on the web somewhere. The forum is something I developed myself last year. The other thing I'm pleased with is the Members Settings area though I'm not sure how many people will actually upload a photo. You can also specify a background and font color for forum posts. It states that you get 5 free downloads upon registration but I've turned that functionality off while this thread is active. (so download away!!)
Next: http://www.jackpickett.com
This site is a showcase for my overall body of work including the film score/production work I have done. It runs off the same system as the site above but is more geared towards being a record of all the music I have worked on. I also made a flash player for people to listen to music on though its default setting is off - as most people I gather prefer it that way.
As I am a mac user I haven't tested it on IE so if anyone sees anything amiss it would be cool if you could let me know. Anyways I hope they keep you diverted for 5/10 minutes. Its been an enormous amount of work - in these last.fm days I've even tried to id3 tag each mp3 correctly (+ with artwork) - and I hope a legacy of my work should I get squashed by a bus - or some other such mishap!!
Let me know what you think. Now - enough of web-design already.....I need to do some tunes!

Cheers dude - I'm seeing the guy I wrote that with tomorrow funnily enough - for the first time in about 3 years! He's coming down to watch the Fatboy Slim gig - he's in Hybrid now - who are doing quite well for themselves. Thanks for taking a look.

Flash - i made the player (I can give you a copy if you like as it runs off an xml file). Coverflow is an app I downloaded of the web somewhere that runs off an xml file too.
I just realised I posted this thread in the lounge - guess I should have posted it in the graphics section - doh!

Hey Danny - I see there's a 'second life' logo on the Danny K page - do you use that site/service?
I checked it out a few years ago - I was thinking about creating a 3D club/place for ArtistServer there. But the idea of paying for a virtual lot of land was not something I could get motivated about.
I was hoping to setup virtual concerts there - but it's just like any place else - you need money to do anything worthwhile.

Hi Gideon
I quite like Second Life - its a sort of 3D internet. I set up a record store in a mall where people could listen to tracks - you can stream the shoutcast server radio that i run too. I just run out of time really though - so in truth I am not sure if it is still even there! whoops.
Personally I think SL needs to get a presence on a console - Xbox 360 for example - to really get moving. Sadly it is absolutely rinsed with porn and sex - much like the internet itself, but once you get passed that there are some interesting people to meet on there. It is certainly useful as a promotional tool - the store only cost me $1 a week but has a lot more impact than say the equivalent in Google advertising - the down side is the amount of time it can take up. You suddenly realise all your free time is evaporating in SL!
