Grief

Morose The hour was growing late as I stepped through my front door My long day at work and the bus ride home Had put me in a mood which was somewhat sombre. This mood was reflected in my home as the warm summer sun faded Long shadows cast across my lounge room floor. I carelessly tossed my bag onto the dining room table As I made a hopeless expedition to the fridge Searching For...

Addiction therapists signing up to World of...

Just read this article from “The Telegraph” which talks about addiction therapists having their own Avatars in MMOs like WoW to treat all of out there that apparently have an ‘addiciton’. Kairos over at “The LOTRO Chronicles” also presents a funny take on the article. Why not take a minute to have a read?

A new semester is upon us....

Ayup, that’s right kiddies, its Uni time again (Didn’t we just go on holidays?) and things are looking good so far! I have enrolled in Introduction to Cinematography and Writing For Young People and they both sound really interesting and totally up my alley (I never quite understood this term, as whenever I think of things up alleys they are likely to bring to mind drug deals,...

Originally taken from my other Blog at http://www.waytonowhere.tumblr.com/ It was with great delight that I received an email from Mr Michael Salmon (The author of The Monster That Ate Canberra, which my project was based on) letting me know that there were some ‘influential people’ who liked my work very much. I was also very happy when I visited the Gungahlin Community Council web page and...

..and this is the second coming of the “Roxie 77” page. Yes, my web page is finally complete and ready to be unleashed upon the world (unless of course ‘the world’ is running Internet Explorer in which case it is unleashed more in a ‘semi cooked’ state). As you may recall I chose to undertake a redesign of a web page that wasn’t Stone Fest etc and went...

EXTREME Blog Makeover - Tumblr Edition

Oh Tumblr. When we first met I desired you for your simple design and basic layout, but as time goes by I cant help but let me eye wander. I see other blogs out there as I surf the grimy back alleys of the internet. They beckon me with their alluring colours and tasty widgets. Yet, each night I come home to be with my beloved Tumblr blog. Why? Because I love you. I still find you so...

I - think - I - can

The new improved Roxie77 site is soo close that I can almost taste it! Golly, I wonder what it ‘will’ taste like when it does get here? In other news, Ive had my head stuck in Photoshop organising content for my ‘other’ project for Networked Media Production, and the two units will blend together in the end (I hope). A lot of work has gone into both of these units and Im...

My Head is going to explode!! My NMP work is DONE

waytonowhere: For our first project for Networked Media Production I have chosen to curate an online exhibition. The medium that most appealed to me was that of photography but the subjects that I had thought about covering were proving hard to come across under the Creative Commons Lisence. During one of our tutorials, we discussed Machinima and it was this discussion that led me top thinking...

Web Publishing.

Thanks to this (and every weeks) lecture being available for me to watch via my iPhone, I have been able to consume it in tasty bite sized chunks, rather than wolfing down the entire meal in one stomach ache inducing go. Traditionally we have all thought of publishing as material things like books, magazines etc, but due to the electronic age we live in, a lot of this information is now...

Roxie 77 Completed Design

Well, week five was a busy one, but I have managed to put the finishing touches (For now) on my redesigned Roxie 77 site. Of course, this is just the high level concept, and Im sure the real challenge will come with putting it all together with the glue that is HTML and CSS. But thats for another day…. For now, I present to you ROXIE 77 - The flat! As you can see the page is a fixed...

waytonowhere: Hi, my name is Shaun Cahill. You might remember me from such Twitter posts as “CSS - I FRAKING HATE YOU! ” on Mar 4th or “I still hate CSS” :( on Mar 11th, but this weeks lecture / tutorial has shown me a side of CSS that I didn’t know before. With Michael’s help I was able to understand that CSS is like a cosmetic surgeon to the celebrity that is HTML. Sites like css Zen Garden...

Design Reference : Let a website give you a hug.

“When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the...

Surfing the internet is pretty much like having sex. There are times when you want to take your time, enjoy the ambience and explore every possible region, then there are other times when you just need to jump in socks and all, get what you came there for and get out before you pick up any nasty viruses. (Sheesh, need to work on those analogies). Anyway, the point I’m making here is that...
