Assesment #2

By doing this piontless exercise of creating a html website, I’ve have come to realised how crapy websites on the internet cpome into being. Although html may be the most technicaly “wordy” and simple to look at, it is also the most annoying to create and not the best tool to use when creating an eye catching, mind popping website. I found using html in Notepad slow, boring, and annoying. This was mainly due to the coupis amounts of errors that I came across, learning the language and having WAY too many other assessment on at the same time (which is extreamly STRESSFUL!!!!). I couldn’t upload my webite to the webspace amd my fonts where being a pain…..All in all, I didn’t like this assessment.

Despite all that, I managed to make a website I actually like. Themed with DINOSAURS, I believe that this website could be enjoyable to a fair amount of Dino Geeks such as I. The aspect of this website designing nonsense that I enjoyed the most was actually seeing the finished product finished and looking pretty ! I guess that in the proccess I did learn a thing or two. I feel that I’ve gained more respect for those crappy websites out there on the internet, acknowleadge all the blood, sweat and swearing that they went through when creating their useless pieces of internet scum. But I know that I wont be doing this again, not of my own will anyway!!

MPI104 Assessment #1 - Summing Up!!

Through doing this assessment and becoming more familier with the internet and joys of imersing myself in the hidden (well to me at least) goodies of the internet, I have discovered that Blogging on Blogger, posting photos on Flickr and organising digital bookmarks on Delicious is some what fun and exiting. Considering I have no internet at home, I found this assessment difficult at times. But despite that I pushed on through, laid back and began to enjoy the expiriance of the World Wide Web!

Blogger I think is the perfect tool for when people have an expiriance they want to share with the world. For exaple, when you go traveling or conduct an experiment and want the whole world to know, like in the movie "Julie and Julia" where she every day, over a period of time, Julie cooked her way through a famous cook book by Julia Childs and blogged about the expiriance everyday! But I feel like I don't have anything to contribute to my blog but pointless dribble about myself. Although I did enjoy seeing other people's blogs and let them know by making comments. These people where Delwin and Sean

Flickr is awesome! I really like flickr... Then again, I like most things with pretty pictures and amusing add on cool things. Like how you have a map in the top right hand coner where you can pin point where your photo was taken! Love it! This website couples really well with blogger in the way that you can have a "sample" photo on blogger with a link to a stack on flickr with all of your photos inside!!
I tried to post a variety of photos on flickr, ranging from my drawn art, to my digital art, to photos, videos and then other people's art that I admire. I picked out a few favoites and comented on a few photos but over all, I like this website and recomend it to people :D

Delicious, I found, came in handy more than what I originaly expected. The clever use of stacks and the whole idea of this "Bookmarking" made browsing the internet a breeze for me! I ceated two stack, an MPI104 stack and a Personal stack. I have to say, the taging system in Delicious was my favorite. Quick, easy, unforgetting tag system and I loved it :D
My first thoughts on this website where not positve. I thought is was going to be pointless and annoying, I'm glad I was wrong :)

Over all, I have enjoyed my first MPI104 assessment and will continue to use these sights to upload my life!

Thalia out :)

Harry Potter The Exhibition and Me

On the weekend (Saturday the 17th to be exact), I went to the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Power House in Sydeny!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!

For all you Harry Potter loving fans out there, You would have a better understanding at my utter exhileration at standing mere inches from authentic props, costumes and life sized modles used through out the Harry Potter series!!!!

My breath was taken away time, after time, AFTER TIME as I darted through this fabulous exhibition. Although, amoungst picking up mandraks that squealed at you, throwing the quaffle around, being at arms lenght from the old Dumbledore's robes and remarking on how small the four poster beds used in the firdt two movies are, I would have to say that my favorite part was the Forbiden Forrest section! This section housed everything from horcruxes to death eater masks and costumes and even a life sized head of the Hungarian Horntail!!!! I literaly SQUEALED WITH JOY when I saw the massive dementor looming over pasing guests as the hidden fan made it's cloak flitter on a non existant breeze!! I just HAD to grab my little sister and say "DEMENTOR DEMENTOR" whilts pointing at the ominus figure :D

Rating for this exhibition? 10/10!!

The gift store at the end however was seriously expensive with Marauders Maps Going to $50! But none the less, I got a packet of berti botts every flavour beans and a Griffindor pen and was happy enough :)

Anywho, that was my Potter expiriance and I'm thrilled I had it!!

See you round :D
