Gah!
How silly of me! I forgot to add the wp_footer() call to the end of my theme!! No wonder some things wouldn’t work (like my stats counter).
Fixed it now, so that should be better. I wonder what else I forgot to add? Read more »
English Creative Writing
Well, last Friday we went to see a foreign film called “Welcome” in Leichardt. It was a French film, as was a fairly interesting one, if not an odd one (at least compared to the usual American stuff you get). After that, the grade was taken to an Italian restaurant in the Italian Forum near there. It was a brilliant meal, I loved the pizzas and the pasta, and the staff were lovely. Having booked a few weeks prior, they knew that we were a rather large group and had several more table and chairs out for us to sit at. I believe the regularly have groups come there, although not necessarily to that exact restaurant.
So, the idea of seeing the film was not only to fulfil a requirement of our English syllabus, but to also act as a stimulus for our creative writing assessment task, due tomorrow.
I’ve decided that I’m not going to be able to do too much major editing to the story as it is, so I’m going to post it up on my blog, in this particular post, and let you guys read it. If you notice any grammatical errors, hopefully by the time I print it off and hand it to my teacher I will have removed it =] I haven’t actually finished proof reading this version, so, you’ve been warned. At time of posting, it was 796 words long (officially, limit is 800). Read more »
Neat…
Last November, in the USA, Dell introduced their new Studio 17 with Mutli-Touch, the link is below
Now, just 2 months or so later, it is now available on the Australian website for just ~$360.00 extra. Actually, it’s $359.70 (the 1600×900 N-Trig DuoSense mulit-touch screen) – $41.80 (Only available with the “Black Chainlink for Touch Display” colour option, which is $41 cheaper than the normal colours) = $317.90 extra, but… yeah.
About the touch screen: N-trig is an international company which develops touch screen solutions for OEMs (e.g. Dell, HP, Acer, Samsung, LG, etc.). Their best known product (recently) is their DuoSense digitizer, a sensor unit that can be easily integrated over the existing screen. It is a capacitive Read more »

This is just an epicly awesome music video. And a great group.
Something trivial, when I first heard this song, I thought that Matt Thiessen was singing it, till I found it was actually Adam Young. But then, after reading up on Wikipedia (where would I be without that?), I found out that not only did Adam Young (aka Owl City) get some influence from Relient K (Matt Thiessen’s band), but he also had Matt do backing vocals on the song!!
Anyways, here’s the official Music Video
Ah well…
In the past week, all it’s done is rain on and off, and then pour down like there was no tomorrow for a few minutes while everyone was trying to get on a bus (or round about then at least). Thursday, swimming carnival. Not much fun, cold day, wet and rainy, crowded, and I’m not a swimmer, so I wouldn’t have put myself in a race… and so I didn’t. It’s not that I can’t swim, it’s that I don’t swim well. I remember all those hours where the swimming instructors would try to teach me how to better perform my freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke… never got to the butterfly, thank goodness. I definitely don’t enjoy the racing type swimming either. I prefer just the lazy, relaxing swimming, playing with friends. Read more »
