Assesment 3 post

Ok so half of the year is gone, if it went quick that is good but if slow then not so much. Anyway after much strangeness and spamming this year so far has been great. With mpi104 I learnt a lot about using web space and sites such as blogger, delicious which I still believe is kind of useless and Flickr which is my favourite so far because of the freedom of being able to put pictures up. Blogger also does this to an extent but is still a site for blogging not posting pictures.

Other things that we have learnt is Iweb, a program that using a predetermined web space generates a template for a website that you design, we have also learnt how to use ftp and rss feeds. Ftp (file transfer protocol) is a generate web space which we used in conjunction with iweb to produce our own websites on any topic of our choosing. This had to include an rss feed which is used to update frequently published works, usually in blogs, the reason why we need it I presume.

When starting on a new program or blogging site with having no experience is confusing at first but with some help and time it becomes easier and you don’t find yourself behind in class.

That’s all from me for now so remember to look at my new Flickr posts, some of the demos are good.

RSS post

rss as from wikipedia: RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.^[2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed",^[3] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

anyway rss is useful but tricky when you don know what your doing, which is my case but it was eventually figured out.

cd requiremnts

cd name

folder containing index html file site folder along
folder name: name website

ftp post

is this needed? oh well so ftp or file transfer protocol is a generated space for creating websites. as a student of MPI104 this was required for our second assesment. this space too our iweb sites and placed them on the server.

html post

very late but its here, html uses coding and as such makes it harder to use due to remembering the proper codes because if there is a mistake in the code then it will not work and you will get a blank screen. html is the website design program that i am most use to as being exposed to it before (year 10 assesment). html is hard but when the code is proper and you know what your doing it is only time consuming.

ITS DONE

Assessment #2 is done, using iweb made things quite simple. Using the design template I had picked from our tutorial on iweb I generate a site that displays my love of anime, games and all round general randomness. I am satasified with the result and my only problems were with a hit counter that liked to disappear and linked to a random site for awhile.

Using iweb compared to html or dreamweaver as in the past I found that iweb is much simpler than writing the html code or remembering the placement for dreamweaver. Other problems that were common were the rss feeds for the site. This was solved rather quickly and without further problems. Iweb is a useful site for quickly generating websites simply.

iweb post

As most new programs are introduced to me this one i found was one of the easiest. the process to change any of the atheistic qualities of the site is simple and quick. with further use this program will become one of the easiest.

Random post

after much time from my last post (the hand in date) i decided to post again, this time with a link to one of the best sites i know.

WOOT well im off so goodnight and for all who missed the photoshoot tonight, it was epic

DaMN Links

so you have probably noticed all my comments in the assesment 1 page. the links wouldn't work, so to make sure that they worked i posted several times. YAY for failure

Assesment #1 Post

This assessment was the first of its kind that I had ever done and with little to none prior knowledge of sites like flicker, blogger and del.ici.ous believe that I done well without too much trouble. Out of the three sites I found that flicker was the easiest for me as the interface is less confusing for me and being able to post images makes more sense to me than writing like in a blog. So it would only be fitting that I start with flicker in my analysis.

Flicker was my favorite to use as it was least confusing to me and I was able to view other people’s images and find out some of their likes and get to know them better. This is shown through my favorite images that I found while searching through flicker as I found some demotivational posters on someone else’s photo stream. This gave me the inspiration to add my own posters of that kind so my images are demotivational poster; these were used to give people a good laugh when going through flicker.

After flicker in my favorites is blogger, though I do not necessarily like using blogger this is due to inexperience with the program, with further use I believe that more appreciation will be achieved. Using the design templates I was able to change the layout and formatting of my blog to portray my personality better. I explored blogger, finding my other classmates blogs and commented on their layouts and designs. Blogger is a good program for posting information but I would still use flicker for images.

finally is del.ici.ous, this site uses bookmarks to find websites and is useful for trying to locate certain websites that have what you are looking for, I used this technique to find a site that creates demotivational posters and others that host information about anime shows that I watch. This site is useful but is also very confusing for me.

This assessment has greatly increased my knowledge of hosting sites and I can only learn more through experience.

Walkcycle, 2 days left

So as the title says, us first year animators have only 2 days to complete our walk cycles before they are torn to pieces by our lecturer and most probably the other animators. the best question is how far am i into finishing, i've got the arms of my 14 to 25 frames and the cleanup and audio to complete.

Angel Pictures

great site for any angel pics, my fav is linked below

Disclamer: i do not own any of the pictures or anything included within the the site dark wallpapers

Delicious Post

created a delicious account, strange name for a posting site but can't complain, it could be worse. it is mostly used for bookmarking, so it will be easier to not loose track of any email accounts.

Flickr Post

so after stuffing this up again, ive decided to repost this. we set up flickr accounts today, it was interesting but setting up heaps of accounts is becoming troublesome. ideas for more uploads are putting up demos and other images i find.

Walkcycle post 1

so the task for our new year and animation is a walk cycle. these are very deceptive as they appear to be easy but ask any animator and they will all tell you the same thing, get it done early. many first years took this to heart and now with a week left they are madly rushing to complete their cycles, including me.
my work is here for the curious peeps.
