Just a quicky

Just a little update for now about the site at the moment. I “finally” finished the new theme for the site as you can probably see I also added a Twitter badge and customised my own Flickr photo stream badge using CSS. There is also a comments system now that I added with Rapidweaver if you have any questions or such, I’m now aware thanks to Sean that the PHP contact form that I built in using rapidweaver doesn’t work, I’m not sure if this is a fault on Rapidweaver’s part; or wether its because I haven’t installed PHP on my macbook yet.
So hopefully you enjoy the new site theme and all the nice javascript badges that go with it.

Update 101

Apologies for the lack of updates, I’ve had a lot of school work on my plate recently and I’ve managed to grab a quite evening to write a lengthy blog post.
Firstly before you burst with anticipation Moriarty did arrive in one peice after much jerking around and apple thinking the shipping destination was a port in holland and declared it had arrived.
It has to be the fastest computer mac and pc aside that I have ever used.. EVER! it delivers both portability and desktop performance in one which does it for me.
Macbooks aside I’ve also been able to take 2 higher I.T. courses which will gain be another GCSE alongside my core I.T. GCSE I’m currently working towards, the 2 units will be webdesign and flash animation both of which I should be able to okay. The one problem with the web design course is that I have to use tables for the layout of the page as part of the criteria in order to complete the course this is not a problem of skill since I understand how to implement tables into HTML and use them to create a website layout though I learnt to design layous using div tags whereas tables are an archaic method of creating a layout, while James found more “appropriate” words to describe this. Non the less its another GCSE and I’m not planning on dictating to my teacher about web standards and practices.
Thats probably a wrap for the mean time, I have an early entry maths GCSE exam next month so I’m having to revise after school and do maths papers on a weekly basis. All I can say is I’m hoping to switch my hosting for a service that has My SQL database support for Wordpress
As for the site currently I added a contact form and updating the sidebar.

The end of the world (Again)

So, For a while now I’ve been looking up about the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Which is a machine designed to simulate the big bang, Which will apparently reveal to us some of most of the mysteries in the universe such as: “what is dark matter” and change our perception of the world around us, But as with any project like this the doomsday threats come with it, Some say that it will cause a black hole that will cause the earth to collapse in on itself, And others say that it will turn the earth to molten goo, I’m not denying that this isn’t true as I’m not a particle physicist, But I’m sure the few hundred scientists and physicists that have been working on this project for a good year may have noticed a flaw that would caused such damage, Even if there were a risk this dangerous and potential I’t would have been immediately pointed out and stopped in its tracks by the CERN and courts, Which some of the doomsday predictors have been trying to do, Even if it did cause a massive black hole which would suck in the earth, Yes this would put a bit of a shitter on your day but thats the way It goes, So there you have it, I just thought I’d put my view on this out here and to show what the real facts are. Thanks

Back to school, Finally the summer holidays have come to and end, And Ill start my final year of compulsory education in year 11 but I think I’ve achieved what I planned to during the holiday, Including the setup of this website and beginning to learn CSS for web design and learning some nifty things in photoshop which I plan to apply to my i.t. coursework this year, I also went to Russia within the first week of breaking up and got some good material for my photography which can be found Here and I captured some good video footage for the movie of it which I’m currently still working on and I will post when Its finished, I think i’ve covered the main things that I’ve done over my holiday and I’m looking forward to the next term and to getting my early entry maths exam done instead of that stress being amounted at the end of the year with the rest of my exams, Thats it for now and follow my Twitter Account for updates, Cya !!
