The reason I haven’t been blogging is that uploading all the photos I have taken wasted my bandwidth, so I had really slow connection, and could not really post anything up.

Here are the links to the photo galleries:

 I’m not going to post Every single photo.. so just go on facebook, if you don’t have an account, then I’m shocked!

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/ ^^
