I hope I spelt the title correctly…
Anyway. I’ve finally got my Yr 9 PDM Term 4 video project to work on the computer!!!!! Finally, Windows Media Player can play full HD MP4, BEAT THAT QUICKTIME!!! Actually, I wonder if Apple updated Quicktime to be able to play HD MP4…
Anyways, with a video data rate of 13.5Mb/s (Mega Bits, not Mega Bytes), I guess that was why none of the players could correctly play it.
Anyways, now that I’ve got it working, I’m gonna attempt to upload it to YouTube or somewhere… after I cut the file size down from 578MB =] Oh, and I accidentally encoded it in 4:3 aspect ratio, not the proper widescreen 16:9… even though the camera could do 16:9………
Going to school soon. Just like to ask all readers this: If you find a feature on the site that doesn’t work, please comment on it, or tell me some how. I’d like to get them all fixed and working.
Cheers!! And remember, Be Positive. It doesn’t do well to be negative (I know full well how that feels….).

After over 2 months in the works as brand new theme, I have gone and done what Microsoft did with Windows Vista to Windows 7, or what Apple has done with OSX 10.5 to 10.6 (funny how they call it OSX meaning Operating System 10, and then put a version number of 10.X after it… much like Windows 7 has a version number of 6.1…). I’ve gone and UPGRADED!!!! *Insert loud gasp here*
Yeah, so, using a javascript library (a script or scripts which do much of the Javascripting for you for various things such as animation, grouping, etc., to which you make references in your own javascripting to save time and effort) called JQuery, I wrote up a script for the side bar to make it smaller. Also made a few minor improvements to the site design, but I’m still working on minimalising, streamlining and cleaning the code to be more efficient and neat. Although, with my CSS, I’m still gonna have it bloated by having a separate section for the typography of the page…

To the thousands of Yr 12 students taking the HSC starting next week: Good luck!! Hope you all do well.
To the Yr 10 students at Baulko having yearly’s next week: Best of luck!! We’re gonna need it…
To those people who are having music exams sometime soon: Best of luck, especially with having them around exam time!!
And to those of you who are like me, and have bad study habits or are serial procrastinators: Good luck. You’re gonna feel bad after this…
Despite writing out basic notes for science, maths, and geography, forgetting about history, and not even remembering what to study for commerce, while trying to work out how I can possibly make my English essay better while remembering what to write (please say we don’t need quotes!!), I feel I can achieve an acceptable (in my mum’s eyes) mark this year…
NAH, who am I kidding??!
Anyways. Once again. GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

Yes, I’m alive. I just haven’t felt like writing. Haven’t felt like doing much except mindlessly reading stuff from my school books, and playing on the Xbox about once every 4 days. In these holidays, my attention span seems to have shrunk from 10+ minutes, to about 30 seconds. On that thought. My ability sleep in has gone from ‘not really sleeping in’ to ‘kinda sleeping in’ (from 6:50 am to 8:30 am). I think I feel better waking up at 6 am than 8:30 am.
Probably the only thing that’s worth a real mention here in this post is the small outing some of us people of the ‘Back-stoop’ & others had on the 1st Tuesday of the hols. We met up in Parra for lunch (after Anthony and Michael Lee had a ‘study’ session, which included hardcore study of Tap Tap Revolution), before wandering towards the Cinemas to buy our tickets for our movie (Mao’s Last Dancer, very good movie, you should all go watch it if you haven’t already). As usual, the guys out-numbered the girls, but that didn’t stop us guys following the girls like a gaggle of geese around the shops, till we realised that they were shopping for formal dresses and such, and then strangely we felt like going off on our own.
