Well noy really news but yeh i found this and i find it amusing.

it has finally returned! so freaking happy! but bio exam was horrible. Got my first look of my site after completing it, it’s not bad i guess. Some other people have some wonderful sites, very envious of them lol. OK that’s all. I kind alike blogging

ok so a few more hours left and there is so much more i can do but the site can do without. I am really annoyed that i haven’t had internet at home caus i know my site could hvae been so much better as i could have spent more time on it. But ah well, it’s done now.

So since my last blog i have probably had two strokes because of this website, i realised it doesn’t scale well when you minimise the site. I thought it would be very problematic so i spent maybe about 2 hours of pain trying to fix it. My code is a big mess now and yeh i suck at code haha which is not good since i;m going on to do programming next yr. (if i don’t drop out that is, caus right now i am sick of science and tech and the likeliness of getting into DesComp isn’t likely).

 BUT on the upside i am pretty proud of my wavemusic minisite. If i had the time i would have made the audio clip to go with it but then i don’t have alot more time and it would then outshine my other prototypes.

Hoping for a decent mark (hint hint Rob) but i know i can only get what i deserve. So come what may.

Off to see what i can improve.

ok having no internet is afrealing pain, everytime i come to uni i have no time to blog because i;m catching up on allthis website stuff. So this will me a massive update thing.

firstly minisite 3 has been changed. The layout is different, i’ve added a tab bar on the top for easy acces and it looks more proffesional than the links in the side nav bar that u can see in minisite 1 and 2.

Secondly the homepage is now a pic of the three applications. When u click them u are taken to their main pages, of course u can access the pagesthourgh the tabs as well. This is because people may not want to have to keep going back to the homepage to click on the pics.

I have also added light window for the neurosky pages so you aren’t redirected. Because i know i hate being taken to another page and having to click back all the time. And as i was making my site i realised that i wanted somewhere where people can have their say so the forum was born. I added an FAQ so i didn’t need another tab just for it.

And yep that’s it so far.

Ok so yes i had a presentation way back last week and it went pretty well. I think most people understand the concept of the brainwave technology. Kinda amazed that Kristian didn’t ask me super weird and crazy questions (thank god!) But i liked the questions Kristina and harrison asked as they allowed me to address stuff i was thinking about but never really wrote down.

As i write this Suna is forcing me to tell everyone how i think her presentation was absolutely amazing. It kinda was since she made it through the entire presentation without breaking down into fits of hysteria. Julias Ipimp presentataion was very very entertaining and she pretty much sold her game idea to the majority of the male population in the room. Because we all know that all boys want to be pimps it’s like wanting to be a fireman lol

 ok ANYWAYS the reason I haven’t blogged in soooo long is because on friday the darn lighting hit a powerbox at the bottom of our street causing a black out on the entire block. SOOOOOOOO till this day i have no internet and have been forced to travel to and fvrom uni during stuvac so i can complete my site. Troublesome indeed, especially since i have EXAMS TO STUDY FOR!!!! I hate Optus.

P.s IT IS A BLOG SUNA, STOP BEING SUCH A GRAMMAR NAZI and i am not your slave.

that is all

(George wants his name in my blog)

Blog of course!

Ok so i didn’t get round to typing up my evaqluations on ppls presentations but i assure you i have written stuff. Pretty much all today i was fixing my website. Changing headings and trying to get lightwindow to work. But it hates me. David and Drew have attepted to tame the evil monstrous lightwindow but to no avail. So i pretty much have a cool image map colourful headers but broken links *sigh* hw troublesome.

And tonight i have been preparing for my presentation in which i hope no one turns up to. I like my idea and all but i can tell tomorrow it will be ripped to shreds. (just hope Adam isn’t there to ask particularly tricky questions, or anyone else for that matter). sheesh i hate presentations. Well slides are done, trying to present it as if it’s already developed but finding it hard. Will most likely use the whole 5 minutes too.

After presentations i must fix this lightwindow thing, probably conflicting css.

irhythn- Brian
The more in time the tapping the more points, this is relatively easy as it’s just tapping. Maybe he could us the tilt ability of the iphone as well. Like on certain bits you have to tap and shake the phone at the same time. There is a database where you download music and use your own music. There is a forum where you upload files and get user rating.

iClubber- Harrison
previously-> distinguish clubs you can get into and what you can’t.
change-> club summary instead of linking to the club website.
female to male ratio depicted.

iStyle- Mike
Clothing tags could yhave number for identification.

iBlack book
there could be a forum or registry for the artisits.

iCanvas
Shared whiteboard that needs a stylus. The movable menu creates the ability for wider user group.

Currency pop- Chloe
currency converter which converts currecny according to you destination immediately. Uses gps to locate where you are.

Monopoly- Eileen

Uses actual street and world maps making it more realistic. It acts as an international trade game and cultural cross over. Making it an international game which can be played for fun and is educational.

Playbook-Will
Idea has been taken into a professional sector (tourism industry). It will be like on demand tourism.

Payaac- Vanessa
Stress relief screensaver. I like the way the character rolls around when you move the iphone, reminds me of the animator vs animation flzsh video. I think it shouldn’t be that easy to kill of the character, because that would end the fun a bit early.

Easy Cook- Trent
Excelletn idea when you have very little ingredients to work with. The iphone could amybe read the recipe to you instead of u having to scroll over it back and forth.

L’avenir- Florence
Hologram idea has been scrapped.

iRemote
Universal remote, good for elderly and paraplegics but the technology seems very expensive. 

Ok so we just had presentations and everyone so far has got pretty solid ideas which the’ve devloped. Some have changed more than others such as Jeerish’s idea. Her idea has changed from the language teacher to an international tour guide on your iphone.

Ok so below is just some things i picked up from the presentations.

Eye spy- Adam

He has a really rreally good prototype which make gives a fairly good idea of his idea, but appranently the prototype has skewed his users views on his application.

And since the iphone doesn’t have such a big screen it would be hard to pick up small details in images and possibly even type.

Farm Hand- Georgina

New to her idea is the alternative to having to program sensors as they would be available pre programmed. A virtual consultant whoch gives instant easy access to professional advice.

Uses aspects of the efarming project which is used on a laptop. The next step in her project is to intergrate GPS and present it to her users for feedback.

As for the question about cost. I think she could introduce the idea of how the government could provide subsidies for the use of the technology as the farming industry is essential to Australian society. So they could be willing to help upgrade processes for more effective farming and crop production. This would lessen the initial blow of the cost.

WOWGO -Andrew

Using world of warcraft as social networking app. by allowing users to see where each other is located on a map. Aiming the app at high level players. I think that the ability to customize the interface is essential in making it effective and easy to use. It allows for advanced and beginner palyers to get familiar with the new game interface.

Sky Assault-Patrick

Has a good game layout which users will find easy to use and figure out.

Footprint- Jeerish

New site and idea. There is a similar product which is also a tour guide however it’s kind of like a visor you have to wear and sensors in you shoes and a a processor in a backpack. All together the processor picks up signals in the areas and the sensors in the shoes pick up steps and your location. Pretty much what happens is when you enter a certain area “hot zone” the cisor you are weazring displays a picture ontop of what you see. So if you see an old church the visor overlays it with images of what it used to look like in sxays the 1800’s it also places people arpund the image to show you daily life of the time. This is what i thought of when Jeerish presented her idea.

Photosnap – Beth

I like the idea of levels as it will make it addicitve. I though about how people are obsessed with the facebook application of vampires and werewolves where you keep increasing you level.

Ok that it is all. And no George you can’t steal my notes.
