Finally finished (just 5 minutes before the deadline).
Thursday and Friday was sooooo hectic.
Too many people asking me questions @ class, so I think I might stay at home for future projects (especially when the deadline was today)!
Hahaha
Thursday, I spent Ages REDOING my minisite 1…. I heard from someone that Rob said that it should be a totally different one.. But around uhm.. 5pm? Kaz was talking about it to someone else in the class, and he said you don’t neccessarily Have to.. So I was freaking out about the layout, and I’m like.. OMG >< What a waste of my time (this is because all I had then on the website was the presentation and the speech during our proposals).
But getting up at 6am, and going home at 9pm isn’t really healthy.. I went to bed to do some work, but ended up falling asleep ><
Friday.. This time, got up at 7am.. and got to uni at 8am. But today is my anniversary (2 years and 7 months ^^). So I spent the morning relaxing a bit before I went to 313.
At 11, I showed up and started the evaluation Andrea gave us. It was made by Processing, and about visualizing data. There were a survey, forms etc. Then I think the whole thing took 3 hours.. (11 to 2? yea.. it did ><). The program kind of froze on me twice (and it was awfully slow).. And we had a group discussion afterwards. Nothing really useful under the user evaluations.. But at least I got a donut ^^
Did feedback for most of the day at uni. Didn’t have lunch until 4pm.. (And an hour before, my brain froze because I need food to function, and me without food = me hungry = really hungry = unable to do anything).
Got home around 7ish, made dinner, washed dishes.. Then started working on it at9.. But I’ve finished with the report, feedback, and prototype just before midnight. Very content..
Right now, I’m kinda worried that some people’s minisites aren’t finished, or aren’t showing up..
Many have awesome layouts and alot of content.
My favourite minisites: Lucy (cuteness), Kristian (marketing), Chloe (simplicity), Russel (flash), Patrick (prototype video), Drew (illustration and interaction), & Suna (banner). I’ve judged these on what the person did for his/herself – rather than copy and paste things. It’s late, I might have missed out on some awesome creations. Let me know if you want yourself on this list!
Goodluck all for minisite 2!!

August 29, 2007 at 11:48 pm | In DECO, Prototype1, Rant, Website | 1 CommentOkay.. I’ve had my link to my blog there for ages..
Yesterday and today, I’ve been uploading all my DECO1008 3D Maya tutorial online. Spent ages trying to do the layout (and I just realized, my 13.3″ screen doesnt display the layout as well as a larger display would. At least my 15″ desktop screen can fit it in without it looking weird.
Check it out here: http://people.arch.usyd.edu.au/~jtan2093/deco1008/a1
What I did was, use the <div id=”…”> to separate the original image and the modelled image, and fit into one line but 2 columns. So then, I had to modify the css and the xhtml code (since I haven’t done this before, and like.. did alot of testing). I figured out what I need, which is just to state the margin to the left, and how many pixels it was from the left >< (Thanks to Kristian’s nice website layout).
But ohhhh Eileen has the cutest Flash on her website! its like.. so adorable.
Omg, yes, the point is, I’m worried about the due date for the minisite, is it tomorrow? (haha actually, more like today) or on Apec? And the word “prototype” still bugs me.. It’s just the documentation I haven’t put up.. Lucky I had a speech, so I can derive what I’ve got on there (and from my blog) to post the report.. I still don’t know why I worry (okay, nvm me ranting)..
So.. hmm
Yea.. I’m going to sleep. lol

August 22, 2007 at 7:21 pm | In Prototype1, Rant, Research, iPhone, iPimp | Leave a CommentHaha omg I cannot believe I’m actually doing an application for this.. rofl So.. what is this: I don’t supposed many would want to read about ‘pimp’ (so check out the best resource! wiki! *cough* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp *cough*) This ’research’ is getting.. weirder hum.. lol Other very important links (for me to note) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_Girl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Prostitution Blah blah Okay, for the past 4 hours, I’ve been asking people on msn (male, 18-20s) about what they think about the iPimp game. I just sent them information on my initial idea.
Izzac… says:
LOL!!! i like it i think it works
»ÑàÜT¡|ÀTÔR« ® - says:
so if you get your pic taken, your whored?and the only way to be unwhored is to pass on the “whore” status to someone else is to get their pic taken?
i think that, if youve been whored, you can then recriut other “whores” and then if you have enoug, you can break away from your pimp and become your own
You always have someone higher above you
heavy legs mcgee says:
sounds like a good idea though
completely different interface
it is actually really clever
havent heard of anything like it
sort of like nintendo ds controller
gps is one way communication
the satellites do not know where you are
you would have to send that info over 3g
or equivalent
I think any game to get people off their ass is a good one
and ps…try and think of an equally clever scoring system
a good game deserves a good scoring system
reward high scored
like with a pimp hat or something
im thinkin of putting more into the photo/software?
like once you take the photo, you can add images on top
like clothing, hats, shoes, money, bling blah
yeh well facial recognition software is pretty good
yeh well make the extra images have to be earned/bought
with pimp points
with skype you can add a hat on your head and it tracks where your head is
so theoretically you could have a video profile pic
with all the moving bling etc
Phong says:
lol i tihnk thats an invasion of privacy
Dipak says:
wowwww i m wondering , why this game is not in real
i m desperate to play
u can use something like RATE ME
the image can be rated by audience
in particular time frame
most rated image can get some reward
any idea on how i can create ———– can’t comment without proper understanding, ( but java is good for mobile applications )
from reading what do u understand——– it makes first impression as adult game
would u play it?———— i can’t wait to play
what other target audience———— i guess age gropu 13 to 40
complaints?———– not right now, but sure , heaps later on
*help Ro-J*龍 @ Beijing…♪ says:
wow
then i guess it’s fine then!
how do you calculate the money if someone wants to do something for the person instead of “paying” them money?
i guess you’ll have to sign up to join the game, you have to recruit another person then you can remove the debt?
so like…making the team
but would those who have removed the debt still able to get “whored”?
so…if you’ve been recruited by a person, you won’t get whored again?
not by the same person
i guess you can be recruited by another
then how do you determain which side you’re on if you’ve been recruited by multiple sides?
say you’ve been recruited by one side~ like you said here “by recruiting other people to take their place (or gang up on you)” and the “leader” have been tracked down, can they still make put you at their place?
like…substitude?
so will the substitude be on both sides if this is the case
i can have like a cop vs pimp thing
“In the meantime, you can ‘blackmail’ them to pose for you or whatever. ” i don’t quite get this
because they are your whores, they must ’satisfy’ you, and you can make them pose in positions, and you get to take photos
but those whores would get to pose for multiple people won’t they? since they’re always been tracked or something
no, a whore can only have 1 pimp
but some questions only arise when this is put into action
like…perhaps connection problems, people can’t be found etc.
ya connection is a big thing
im just gonna assume in 10 years time, everyone has an iphone, either bluetooth is really really good, that internet is all fast speed, 3g is up and running, and ya [웨이샹♡3][-2698daystill] dissertation… says:
1) the game will not work
and 2) u cud fail this presentation
reasons
well in the society we live in such reckless game will not be taken in
cuz its about whores and pimps
obviously family members (parents especially) wud avoid getting their children involve
in the education system its like teaching a child how to be a pimp
even though its only a game
oh and besides the eithical and all those issues
there is also the issue of how many ppl wud actually turn their bluetooth on
or what ever connection ur planning to use
not to mention how many ppl are willing to learn how to use it?
there is a learning curve to everything
ive researched that when a game has a specific amount of level of learning curve*
the game play wud either drop early or late
simple words wud be the person playing the game wud get bored of it really
easy cuz they dont know how to play the game
