My last day of tafe ever!!! Oh, and NAKED CHICKS!!!

Well its come to the end, well sort of, we've still got to clean up tomorrow and have our end of year party, but that doesn't really count coz we ain't actually doing any real work tomorrow. Today is the last official day. Feels kind of weird to be honest, it's kind of a little sad but at the same time I'm also really relieved as its finally all over and I can finally move on.

And I'm really ready to move on, I can finally get around to building some of my own websites and apps that I've been wanting to create and I can start to focus on getting my business up and running so that I can finally make some money, and basically just get around to doing a whole lot of stuff that I've been putting off over the last twelve months.

Anyways I should really be focusing on getting through today at the moment, we've got our big exhibition at the moment to show off all the work we've completed over the last twelve months, but so far there really hasn't been that many people turn up to check out our work, hence the reason I'm here writing this blog post. I'm bored!!!! It's not really that surprising though as Wagga isn't really that big on traditional art. So I have a few suggestions for next years class with their exhibition.

The 1st thing is you really need to produce work that appeals to the local demographic so my suggestion is to fill next years exhibition with lots of violent video games and pictures of modified cars and hot naked chicks!!!! (I'll even come back and take the pictures free of charge :)

Do this and you'll not only have a heap of people turn up but you'll probably be able to charge them an entrance fee :)

The other thing (and probably more realistic although not as fun option) would be to simply make it shorter and not start it till 5:30-6:00pm and just have it run for an hour or two instead of having us sit here all day just twiddling our thumbs.

This blog worth $59,048,640

apparently this blog is worth $59,048,640 according to site http://www.websitevaluecalculator.com/

style="margin: 0">style="border:0;">
My site is worth $59,048,640.
style="font-size: 10px;">How much is yours worth?



If anyone out there feels like parting with $59,048,640 I may consider selling;-)

somehow I don't think it's going to happen though

I'm Now Officially a Business Owner!

Well I just sarted a new business today (developing and publishing websites), it's kind of scary now that I've finally actually gone through with it. I've been saying that I'm gunna start my own business for a few years now, so actually doing it is kind of daunting. Oh well to late to back out now. Now all I have to do is actually go out and make some money. And get around to fixing the header on this blog.

crap I've been upto

Well I've finally finished my major project for tafe, well sort of anyways. I handed it into luke today but rotarnet are still stuffing me around with the server, they are a really shit webhost. Doesn't matter, there are stilla few small things I'd like to change before I hand over the site to the guys at Rotary.

Now all I gotta do is get caught up on all my other assignments.

Went to Sydney last week, just went down for the day. Went to the beach (Manly and Bondi), It was nice weather, about 27 degrees, so the beaches were pretty busy considering it was still winter. But I got to see some hot toppless bikini chicks so I'm happy. Had lunch at this chicken joint in Manly, can't remember the name, but they have really nice food there. we need one of those joints in wagga.

Got a chance to go out to the Rocks and get some really good photos of the harbour at sunset for this thing I had to do at TAFE. (no, I didn't get any picks of topless chicks at the beach, they arrest you for that now!)

After all that I went and got drunk and then caught the XPT back to Wagga. The less said about that trip the better, next time I fly, I don't care if it does cost twice as much.

Puttin in for holidays from work this afternoon, gunna try and get the whole of October off. If I get it, it'll be almost six weeks without having to go anywhere near the place. Now all I gotta do is come up with some sort of scam to make some money while I'm on holidays so I don't have to go back ;-) Maybe I should try becoming a proffessional blogger.

Tafe project amking me think about my future

This project I have been doing for TAFE recently where by I have to build a web site for a client has really got me thinking about my future in the digital media industry. The building of the site is fine I have no problem with that, and I quite enjoy that part of it. It's the dealing with the BLOODY clients that's driving me up the wall!!!! And it's making me wonder if I have the patience to keep dealing with them. Clients seem to make something that should be so simple and easy and manage to make it into something that is, well lets just say more difficult than it has to be, to put it politely.

Personally I much prefer to just work on my own projects, and play around and do my own thing, and that is the direction that I would like to head in (become something like a web publisher or something instead of a web designer/developer), just got to figure out a good way to make a good living out of it. If I could build a popular enough web site(s) I could make some money through advertising and merchandising and shit like that, but thats easier said than done. Now I've got to try and come up with some good ideas.

Changing my web site

Well I've been spending some time thinking about how I want my site to be and what I want it to be about, and I have come to the conclusion that I am going to move away from what I had originally intended

Now there are two ways that I could go with this site, and to be honest I want to do both.But I'll probably do the later idea first. So what is the idea? well you'll just have to wait and see.

Originally I was going to make my site a sort of on-line car magazine, but I now want to expand on this idea, but I don't really have the resources available to me to pull this idea off at this prersent point in time. So it will be going on the back burner for a little while.

So now I'm going to do a web-site on web design/development, but I'm going to do it a little differently to most other sites out there (well I'm going to approach it from a different anglr anyways).

My Rant on Lachlans Rant

A while ago, Lachlan wrote a post in his blog about some new laws where by P-platers caught speeding would automatically loose there licence.

Now for the most part i do agree with Lachlan, the new laws are BULLSHIT!!!

There is one point however, that I disagree on. In his post he said the following
"I understand why the are going to be there."

Now I figure he is saying that he understands why they are bringing these new laws in, is because he naively believes that these new laws actually have something to do with road safety.

BULLSHIT!!!

The only reason they are brought about these laws is that the powers that be don't like P-platers, in fact most of society doesn't like P-platers, hell, i don't like P-platers. And these laws have been put in place because it gives them another way to have a go at P-platers.

Much of what has been written about P-plate fatalities is complete bullshit. The media and government would have us believe that a disproportionate number of fatalities on the road are caused by p-platers in hotted up cars hooning around the streets. This is false

The numbers that they report for P-plate fatalities are actually the total number of deaths for people under the age of 25, this includes children, passengers and pedestrians. e.g. A family of 5 dies in an accident where the 40yr old father was driving and those three kids get added to the under 25 toll, even though they weren't driving. But the media/government doesn't tell you this because they want to vilify p-platers.

Another bullshit lie the media/government likes to portray is that performance cars are dangerous, but in actuality performance cars are actually among the safest cars on the roads (along with luxury vehicles). The most dangerous cars are actually small cars (econo boxes) like Hyundai excels, ford lasers etc. In fact since the RTA has introduced bans on high performance cars for p-platers, p-plate fatalities have DOUBLED!!!!!

In fact the RTA's whole Speed Kills campaign is BULLSHIT. It is nothing more that a lame attempt at trying to justify their revenue raising.
I'm getting pretty sick of typing now so instead of typing out all the facts and figures I'll just give you a link to a pretty good site (if you want to no more). This guy has summed up a lot of facts and figures pretty well and has links to a lot of studies and reports and statistics and shit. so check it out....

P.S. I am NOT a P-plater myself

Die Hard was good/Got really Drunk

Die hard was a pretty awesome movie, wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Went back to Temora this weekend for my grandmothers 90th birthday, had this whole big family reunion thing.

Me and my cousins drank a lot of beer. Still trying to recover.

Live Free or Die Hard Trailer



Happy now, gunna go watch it tonight.

Updated the look of this blog

Well i9 finally did it. I got off my ass and changed the look of this blog. It's still not perfect, yet, but it is a big improvement on what it was.

Tuesday, 31 July 2007

Built another site

Well I found another free webhost called newsit.es. So far I'd have to say that they are the best free webhost that I found.

So seeing as I actually have all this web space now I thought I may as well actually build something with it. So I have decidee to finally getting around to building a modified car website, which is something that I've always wanted to do. http://wwww.ausmodz.newsit.es

Updated my site.

Updated my website, was having some problems veiwing in some browsers.
Think it looks a lot better now.
check it out here

In trouble with cops 4 takin pics of them breakin the law!

Was walkin home yesterday and came accross a highway patrol car illigally parked around the corner from my joint trying to illigally set up a speed trap.
So me being the smart ass that I am, pulled out me phone and pretended to take a few pictures.

All of a sudden this fat tub of bacon jumps out of his car and cums up to me and tries to snatch my phone out of my hand. So I quickly put my phone away in my pocket. He then tried to demand that I give him the phone so that he could confiscate it and then even said he was gunna charge me when i refused to hand it over (yeah, getting arrested for taking pictures of HIM breaking the law).

Anyways, he kept me there for about 20mins threating me and raving on about how he had the permission of the owner of the house that he was illigally parked in front of (not that that makes any difference, its still illigal, also the owner of the house wasn't home to give permission ), and how he didn't actually need to use his radar coz he had been trained to detect how fast a car was going just by looking at it (now I'd love to see him prove that one) and that he wasn't actually trying to catch speeding drivers anyway, he was looking for people driving and using there mobile phones.

Anyways, he took my details, and said that he was gunna put them in sum sort of database for people who are survalling police or some shit like that.

eventually I got sick of him so i showed him that i hadn't actually taken any pictures and that i was just G'ing him up .

And after all that rambling on about how he wasn't doing anything wrong , as soon as I left he jumped back in his car and moved it.

just wish, I actually did get some pictures, one set would be going to the ombudsman and another would be going to A Current Affair or some shit.

Might update the look of the blog soon, sort of gettin sick of how it looks.

Been thinking of moving.

I have been thinking of leaving Wagga over the last couple of days (well after I finish my course), Some coversations I have been having with a freind of mine maid me relise that I have just been sort of drifting along letting life pass me by.

The conversation went something along the lines of how he finally managed to hook up with this girl he liked and now she's moving to Brisbane. He went on to say that he has been in Wagga for 8 years now, and this is the first time he has managed to hook up with a decent girl, and now she's gunna take off. So he's starting to think he should take off to Brisbane too, because in 8 years nothing else good has really happend for him.

Now, this has sort of got me thinking, I've been here for 4 years now, and not many oportunities have really presented themselves to me since I have been here. when I moved here 4 years ago I was flat broke, had no licence, no job, single and stuck living with my parents. Now 4 years later I'm flat broke, no licence, a crap job that I hate, single and still stuck living with my parents.

Now this is a start contrast to my life in Temora, where quite simply I had a great life, evrything was going well for me and the future looked bright, well looked bright untill I moved to Wagga.

It hasn't been all bad though, I've made some good freinds and got myself some handy skills/qualifications. However, I'm starting to feel as though there isn't really much in the way of oportunity here though and so not much of a future.

So I have been thinking of leaving and heading to someplace with more opportunities, I'm thinking either Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. There seems to be a fair bit of work in the digital media industry in these areas.

Oh well thats enough of that rant.

I'm also applying for an ABN, this should allow me to (legally) go out and start doing some freelance work. I've also got a couple of commercial style web-sites on the boil that I'll hopefully get a few advertising dollars from. I've also got to get off my arse and start putting my portfolio together, especially some of my works with graphics as thats something I've been neglecting a bit lately.

Our blogs are getting famous

just found my blog on some site called technorati.com that steals stuff on our blogs. cool! somebodies actually paying attention to the shit we write. actually found my blog on google and a couple of other sites, spooky.

Transformers movie rocks

went to see the new transformers movie today, thought it kicked ass, definately going to see it again.

I wasn't really sure how good it was going to turn out, like the trailers looked good, but all to often something looks good in the trailers, but then fails to deliver, and I was expecting the same from this movie.

However it ended up really surprising me just how good it actually was.

Thursday, 21 June 2007

Finally Updated site, Well sort of

Well I finally got round to updating my website, well sort of anyways, still got a lot more stuff I want to do to it yet and alot more features that I am going to add. Hopefully I'll have that all up and running by the end of the holidays.

Hopefully I'll have a few new things for this Blog done by the end of the holidays too, and i may even start a couple more that are actually about something. oh well thats about it, I'm off to enjoy my holidays

Cool, New Toys

Found a good FREE webhost a while back that I've got my site on and so far they've been pretty good so I thought I'd give them a little bit of a plug.

check out www.789mb.com if your looking for a webhost (good for those of us in my digital media class who need to put together a portfolio site). It's actually got more features, storage space and bandwidth than most paid hosting plans that I've come accross (especially from Australian hosting companies who's plans generally suck ass).

On another note
I have just signed upto blogger in draft which allows me to trial new features for blogger on my blog.

The first of these new toys is video upload feature so that you can add video's to your Blog. Now all I need is a video to trial, so I'll have to have a look around and see what i can come up with.

very scary news story

found a very scary story in the news, that could completely ruin most peoples sex lives (well in the UK anyway). Basically they are proposing laws that say a man can be convicted of rape if he has sex with a drunk chick, EVEN WITH CONSENT, because under the proposed laws a woman will be considered legally incapable of consent if she is drunk.

click on me to see story

on a lighter note, here's a picture of alf.

time to update (with real content this time)

Finally got me a video card, I've been living here for five years and I hadn't got one, so I use to have ton wait till friends got a movie out that I wanted to see before i could watch it. So I've been hiring out alot of movies lately.

Got out blood diamond the other day it's really good.

also been watchin some movies shot in high def as upposed to film. interesting. I actually quite like the look of high def in movies.

Been looking at web hosting plans (most of the ones in Australia suck ass so I'll probably go with an offshre one). want to get a website or websites up and running soon, had a few cool ideas for stuff I could do (but I'll keep pretty tight lipped about that for now). been looking at alot of these affiliate advertising programs too, so i can ad somwe ads on my site(s) and hopefully make some money out of them (at least enough to pay for the hosting and shit so it doesn't cost me anything).

Also been looking into how much it will cost me to get some business cards and stuff made up and trying to get into some freelance work. I figure its got to beat working at woolies and will hopefully give me some cool stuff to put in my portfolio.

um, thats about it.

Wednesday, 16 May 2007

um thought i better update my blog

um don't know what to write. so i not gunna write anythingt worthwhile.

Man I'm Tired, who made the morning so early

Been a while since my last entry, been on holidays for the last few weeks, this is the first day I've been up before midday in about three weeks so I'm not feeling to coherent at the moment.

The week and a half of my holidays really sucked ass, nothing seemed to be working out for me, but i won't bother going on about that, it's depressing to think about.

But then the next week ended up being really good and everything just started falling in to place, it was a good week, but also really weird but in a good kind of way. For some reason everybody started being really nice and freindly and shit, it was like something out of that twilight thingy about the zone. And everyone thought I was acting really weird as if I were going through some sort of early midlife crisis, don't know what they on about, but everything was weird.

Now on to Saturday night cos I know lachlan is hanging out to find out how I went with that chick and all the other weirdness from that night. Well as for the chick, thats still up in the air at the moment. But lets statrt at the beginning, got to the cap at about 1am, after i got at work, and I ran into this really hot chick that I sort of know, and she hit me in the head a bunch of times then asked me if i was feeling lucky and gave me a big cheeky grin, still don't know what all that was about, anyways after she finished hitting me I went for a walk and ran into some mates of mine, then went to the bar got a drink and ran into Lachy and Chobbo, taled to them for a while and then went for another walk. This is when a bunch of more weirdness began to happen to me, like sum random guy buying me free drinks, another guy came up and started cleaning my shoes? Ran into Luke and I think sum guy tried to kiss me on the cheek while i was talking to him. Then ran into Lachy and Chobbo and sum guy started feeling up my chest while i was talking to them which was pretty random. than i ran into that chick again, talked to her for a while, and then some of her freinds came and grabbed her and started doing sum almost lesbian sort of stuff, it was good to watch, then i talked to her a bit more than she told me to come out on the dance floor with her a little later on, so i had a few drinks then after a while went out on the dance floor to find her, but couldn't, sort of left it a bit to long to go out there (damn tastey alchole). well thats about it, it was a pretty weird night & I didn't end up picking up, but I didn't get shut down either (which is what i was expecting) and thats the important thing.

Oh well, theres always next week.

got some new dvd's

Got some new dvd's over the weekend, bought the new casino royal dvd last night, stayed up till about 3 in the morning watching it and the special features disc, which had the making of it and a big doco on how they do all the stunts.
Also got bullet, this is a movie I've been trying to get a hold of for quite some time now, as a movie its pretty crap, but it has what is considered one of the best car chase sequences ever filmed. As a rev head I tend to agree with this, it's nice to see a scene like this done with actual skill and high speed driving as apposed to all the cgi and special effects bullshit we get now.
I also got a really good doco with this dvd that featured in on film editing. It was quite in depth and really opened my eyes to the impact that editors have on how a movie turns out.

Had fun last night

Took some cars out for thrashin last night (well I didn't, I was just a passenger, bastards wouldn't let me drive their cars coz they thought I'd blow something up, jeez you blow up one persons gearbox and you get a bad rep for life). It was fun, haven't been out to do shit like that in ages (as most of my friends drive these poofy little riced up piece of shit show cars that they are to afraid to take out and thrash).

The first car we took out was a friends Mitsubishi lancer (it's a piece of shit, been tellin him to sell it and by an s13 or a v8 or maybe a series 4 or 5 rx7). I've been at him for ages to take it out and do a touge run in it. It was sort of fun but scary, man that car's got some shocking understeer (he really needs to upgrade the suspension, tyres and brakes), even though we weren't really going that fast (only about 130 - 140km/h, which isn't that fast for the road we were on) I was freakin out coz all the bloody thing wanted to bloody understeer off the bloody road through just about every corner and almost put us into the bloody trees. Tried to get a video of the run on me camera phone, but it didn't come out real well.

Later that night I went out with another friend in his new Toyota Carona wagon that he bought to use as a run around while his wrx is off the road gettin some more work done to it. We decided to take it bush bashing as me friend had never really done any before (he's bloody 24 and his never takin his car bush to do some dowies, driftin or just tryin to jump stuff, sad! but then again his never really had a decent car to do it in before coz all the cars he's owned have been crappy show cars). It was pretty cool, made the car over heat though, and it end up breaking down after we got back into town, which was a pain in the ass, spent ages fixin it then I had to push start the bloody thing to get it goin.

Can't wait to get my licence back now!

Have to bloody work again tonight, it's ridiculous, it always feels like it's Friday night, the rest of the week goes but so quickly that it feels like every time I wake up its bloody Friday again and I have to work. I only work their 10 hours a week now and it still feels like I live there.

But that's not the worst part of working at woolies, its the embarrassment of working there. I have to lie about what I do so people don't find out. It'll be like, your talking to some hot chick you've met and the conversation will eventually come around to what I do for a living and I have to make up some bullshit story, because if you tell them you work it woolies they're like "oh" (in a very unenthusiastic/disgusted sort of manner), and then look for an excuse to stop talking to you and get the fuck out of there. A friend of mine didn't believe me, so I proved it last night when a chick asked me where I worked, and sure enough I got the "oh". And its not just the chicks, everybody looks down on you if your a lowly supermarket worker.

I've got to get myself fired!!!

Just got to think of a cool way to do it, one idea I've had was to go and open a box of condoms up and fill the frangers with mayo and then just go and peg it at a few customers or somethin to freak'em out. That ought to do it.

Other people are reading this

Wow, other people who aren't in this class are actually reading this crap. scary.

DAMN PHP SCRIPT WON'T WORK!!!

Recently I started trying to teach myself PHP, and I've been doing a lot of different tutorials. The one I'm working on at the moment is on how to build a simple discussion forum (in sams teach yourself php, mysql and appache in 24 hours), now I have followed the set up of all the databases and code exactly, I've checked it about a hundred times to make sure all my syntax is right, but it still won't let me insert data into the database. i can extract data and display it, but I can't fucking put it in. It's bloody driving me nuts trying to figure out whats wrong with it.

The only thing I can think of is that the syntax in the tutorial is wrong, so thanks a lot sams, I give you free publicity and you give me a tutorial with the wrong fucking syntax. Now I'm gunna have to go and read a whole bunch of other shit to try and figure out how to build the right syntax to make this bloody thing work.

built a flash site (sort of)

finally had a go at building a website using flash and actionscript, its not actually on the web but I still think it is kind of cool for my first try. now all I have to do is finally get myself a coppy of flash for my computer at home so that I can get some more practice.
I'm really starting to look forward to learning XML so that I can use flash with databases so that I can build dynamic flash content. well I'm not really looking forward to all the XML/database stuff, I just think it would be cool to be able to develop dynamic flash content and to do that I need to learn the XML/database stuff.

Improving My Designs

The other week in class, we had to do an assignment where we had to recreate 3 web page designs, 3 A3 magazine spread designs as well as doing 3 original web page designs and 3 magazine spreads of our own and then present it to the class.

After this exercise, our teacher, luke, recommended that we keep up this practice to improve our designs. To that end I have started to collect a range of screen shots of various web sites that I visit, so that i can attempt to recreate them. I have tried to choose a rather eclectic range of sites that are designed for a variety of applications (e.g. e-commerse, video sharing, flash etc) so that I can become well versed in a number of different styles of sites.

On another note, following on from my rant about how much i hate working at f$cking woolies and why I can't seem to get off my ass and actually do something worthwhile and constructive, I have finally got off my ass and started developing a plan to get my little business venture off the ground. Not sure how I'm gunna handle studying full time (especially with all the assignments and stuff) and trying to get a business off the ground, but we'll see how I go.

The important thing is that I get out of F*&KING WOOLWORTHS!!!!

Why do I put things off

Haven't had much sleep lately, been having a little dilemma about what I am doing with my life, or more to the point, what I haven't been doing.

I was at work on Friday night putting up with all the crap that I usually put up with in my crappy job, and suddenly I was overcome with this feeling, a feeling that I have only ever felt once before when I finally decided to quit my previous job at Cargil. All of a sudden I found myself asking, "why am I putting up with this crap" and "what the f?#k am I doing wasting my life in this f?#king Sh#t hole of a place".

So now I find myself with a big decision to make, to quit my job or not to quit my job.

This lead me to ask a few more questions about the way I've been spending my life. For the past several years I've been wanting to start my own business, a business that could potentially make me a very wealthy person. I also happen to be in a position where I could actually manage to pull the resources together and get this thing off the ground.

But I DON'T!

Instead I seem to put things off, find excuses to delay doing something. Why do I do this? I'm not really sure. I'm going to have to give that one a bit more thought. But the real question is will I ever get the motivation to get off my ass and actually put something into action.

CONSERVAPEDIA the funniest site in a long time

I'm not really sure if this site is for real or just some kind of joke, but apparently it is an encyclopedia for american christian extreamest nut jobs, but either way it makes for some extreamly funny reading. checkout http://www.conservapedia.com

Wow! This is a boring subject, it should still be pretty easy to pass, but damn it's boring! Might have to go and check out conservapedia again and have a bit of a laugh at those dumb ass religious nut yanks. Funny funny stuff. might put up a few links to other people blogs who are in my class a bit later too. They might not write as much pointless crap as I do.

Listening Skills

Today we worked on music listening skills, which basically revolved around watching some movies (American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption), to see how sound is intergrated into these films.

rss intergration

Today I am working on intergrating an rss feed from digg.com into a sample web-page using a simple javascript. I'm basically just using this so that I can work on my css skills by styling an external feed.
