It’s like 3am already.. Michael, Kevin and I were talking about all the sites we went through. I would post up the comments, but some provided more mistakes than others lol..

I really really liked Drews, Russels, Lucys and plenty of others final website..

Russel’s is like the ultimate selling website. It’s sooo purretty.

Some pages were a bit too large for my screen to handle (1024×768).. Other’s took ages to load.. like.. ages.. and I have fast speed here.. Other’s got misdirected from links, or tricked on the arrows.

Right now we’re currently talking about relationships, HSC, sex, maths, porn, roses, gold diggers, assasians..

Okay.. It has been a really long time since I blogged.. (I almost forgot my username _Someone took HOTCOCOA!!_)

Basically,  our website was due last week. I realized that I haven’t done enough work on the website or results.. But I spent AGES on my prototype.. Flash kills sometimes (and last week was most of the times..)

I have a problem, it’s the graphics involved with the prototype.. I only have 1! image!?! (and a little clip).. I want to make it all pretty and full on graphics, but I realized that before, my dialup internet was REALLY slow, and considering how long that took, I wasn’t really looking forward to having to play a game and wait for a minute for everything to show up. So now, it really is a text based game.. Though, to reduce the use of a slow connection, I would want to enhance more of the use of the iphone existing applications and abilities rather than waiting for everything to load for the iPimp.

 What do I do now? Well, I already showed the Flash to some people. Many of them liked it, with some commenting about the graphics (read above if you skipped it..). What else? *Sigh* The #1 priority now is to finish the prototype. Basically, all I need to do is add more pages, made-up templates, and then market my application with a wicked website design and sales techniques. *nods*

Oh.. how can I forget? Check out my “Evaluated Minisite” @ http://people.arch.usyd.edu.au/~jtan2093/deco1200/evaluated/ ^^

OMG

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!!

September 4, 2007 at 1:15 pm | In Website | Leave a Comment

Okay, for the past 2 days, I’ve been working on a stupid banner (but it looks okay I guess lol).

I also added a menu (resources found online).

CSS was really frustrating.. (more like I was mad at it- my problem.. anyways)
The banner wouldn’t show up, then the text was squished into a width, or the menu didnt fit, or the banner (set as a background) made the text invisible…
I forgot about the ‘padding’ element, it was late then, so I editted all my index (10 of em) with <br />s lol..

Okay.. 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

web_Layout

August 27, 2007 at 8:10 pm | In DECO, Website | Leave a Comment

hmm, I just remembered.. I still don’t get the <span> in the <divs> (so I guess I should look it up)

Anyways, I did a little more css on my website in the last few days, un-noticeable really since all I did was (painstakingly) editted my 9 index.htmls from html to Xhtml with no errors. I editted it again today, and haven’t checked it yet (doing it now.. @ http://validator.w3.org/). It’s too hard to work directly from the unix drive (and via smftp) so copying and pasting to test is irritating me.

W00T! “This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!” (no I am not attempting strict).. But all I did was test my homepage ><  Opps 36 errors on a page.. Then again, I’ve been focusing more on the

.style_Name {
attribute : value ;
}

And completely forgot about the ending tags lol

I changed the background from a swarovski star and moon crystal pendant pictures I took and editted in photos, with nice blue theme.. to uhm.. this black and white tattoo design I did last semester (because my boyfriend said that it was too empty for him- he’s got a 17″ screen, and I only accomodated those with a 1024 x 768 pixel range). I’m planning on adding a banner with the image on the other side of the tshirt (the one with the butterfly). But now, bare with me.. (it does look too plain)
