Nice, how much are you getting paid?

Hm, I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever having a bad day :P.

I got it, but it wasn't worth jacking up prices in more suburban areas of our district promising that they would do the same to others just to scrap out a lil more money.

Hah, wow nice.
Must have been good work. :]
I can make a moderately good website, but,
i don't know PHP. :[
Is it necessary to know when making a good website?
Because i think it is...

Flash in Class

My school is retarded. We have flash, it's paid for and installed on the server, but students cant access it because it could be used "maliciously". Now anyone who knows anything about flash knows that the most malicious thing you can do with flash is crash the computer once, or delete files if the person agrees to it. Goddam school >:(.

PHILLLLLLLIES

This is not a one word post

oh shit.

Turns out my Open Uni examination for the course i was doing during my first year of sixthform was actually on the 7th of october, not the 17th (tomorrow) which i had thought, so i've missed it!

Sent a query to see if anything can still be done, but otherwise; shit.

My uni has great labs, the PCs have 8 cores each (ridiculous I know, but I'm serious >_<), 8gb ram, latest graphics cards, amazingly hot monitors, etc.. and we're free to use them pretty much any time unless there is a class in the room, but theres about 10 rooms like that (half kubuntu half windows). Plus they have a few games installed (namely Unreal 2003 and UT3) which we're free to play.

Amazingly awesome news (for me) though; one of the rooms in one of the IT buildings is to be made into a gaming lounge. This is with uni backing and funding, they're gonna have a few widescreen HDTvs, every console, and (initially) £2000 worth of games. Plus they're gonna have sofas. How awesome is that?

@Delta, that sucks baddd.. but I'm sure there will be a resit or something.

I'm stuck with fucking flash mx 2004, God we don't even get fucking filters!

That sounds awesome. Maybe in 2 years I can go to your uni and study with you.

Delta
shit

The reg lounge is so dead so im trying to find something to talk about. In Toastnews, im making a little puzzle game that I'll probably never finish and probably no one cares anyway :p meh
If anyone here is truly good at web desiging, not some 12 year old kid who can draw circles in flash, please send me a PM or something. I might be making a website for small puzzle minigames. No high revenue garaunteed, no uber awesome popularity, just a little thing i've been wanting to put together.

i might be able to help you on that one, cos im kinda awsome at menus and a website is a glorified menu, really. im making menus for 4 projects, i can post some work links here if you want? and my latest project im doing? and im not 12 btw. just to remove that sterotype.

thanks

Well I get to program a PIC 18FZ 482 processor in assembly. That beast has a whole 16k of program memory and 32k of register memory, and runs at a whopping 4 MHz or so.

Damn, that's not good. Hopefully you can resit, what happens if you can't?

Ah, but if you cooled it with liquid nitrogen you could overclock to an amazing 6HMZ :O.

they've replied quickly saying i may be able to be deffered for april exam sessions; but that they'll get back to me after contacting releveant departments bladibla

if i can't then i guess i don't complete the course and well; pointless.

My college has the same, except in one building which has new computers and stuff they've got CS3. Well, I clicked flash 8 when i was in there, as thats what it said on start menu, and it came up with CS3.

That brings me on to something I wanted to mention. Got £60 last night for about 2hours work. YAY.

kl sounds good what was it for btw, some one off work can get you a hell of a lot of money, working for the ice rink in town can get you about 7£ an hour i think but it would be cold and its not for long, only a month i think and places fill up fast. but also theres some open days at college and if you help out they will give you £15 but its on a day off. what are you going to spend the money on? anything special :)

Noes >:C
I have ~£3000 in my bank for spending on 'special' stuff. Stuff in my paypal sits and rots until i think of a sexy domain/need new hosting/want to buy a game on steam :P

yep yep i dont want a flash website. maybe we could make the site together? it would go twice faster with more ideas and you could help me make the puzzle games.

no one seems to be interested in the puzzle games tho, so i don't know if you're up for it :<

so is liaaaam doing it?

Do I have you on MSN? Add me, liammac2005@gmail.com if not >_> I'm definitely interested in actually making things. The website I have now (just got host, need to build it and get domain.. lol) is intended to be a portfolio site (www.liammacdonald.co.uk :D), but it'd be great to have an actual proper website with you.. maybe we should make a game and use any money we got from that to get a host/domain D: I can't really afford to shell out money for unnecessary domains/hosts that might not evolve to anything, but we'd only need about £50-75 to set up a decent site.

:D

Uh yeah, it was the fucking shit. I took 250 pictures. I almost got clubbed, I watched some dude get clubbed, and I stole a cop's handcuffs. OH YEAH AND THE PHILLIES WON.

It was the shit.

Riot if they win, riot if they lose. Sounds like Philly, alright. ^^
