Listening to the track now, seems cool. free download.

So, I’ve been doing the whole php programming thing for about 5 years. I started off in a beginners job, I studied digital design then went and told a company I was more interested in programming than anything else and they gave me a job. Through this whole process I still don’t have anything saying I am a developer. So to get that sorted out I am doing a Java course. I like the language, you can do more than just web sites with it, so I plan to get good at it. I want to look into the mobile apps mainly as they seem to be big at the moment but not going to limit myself to that.

Slowly getting a few things sorted out, I have work out a way of getting a camera, which involves a lot of nice people and a site where you don’t have to buy a product all at once. I still haven’t found the right site but once I find it I will post up a link.

Been trying to take more photos with what I got but my cell does not produce good photos and the camera I got from my brother just seems to give issues. I will have to glue the damn thing to a rock to make sure it is still enough to take a picture that does not blur. I have looked into the setting to see if there is something I have missed but still not doing it for me.

IE6 The reason the web is not going anywhere fast. If you are running wordpress I highly recommend you install this great plugin. Shockingly Big IE6 Warning
I know its not always the users falt that they are still on IE6. There are a number of companys who manage thousands of desktops each day which run IE6 and why bother changing something that works. But at some point we will need to change. The new developments in HTML5 are too great to not take advantage of them.

Looking at finally get some sort of programming certificut, you know that thing programmers have. I dont have any yet, just worked my way up. Going to check out a java course tomorrow.

In other thoughts, figured out a cool little app to write. Not going to say anything about it till I have done some research but I think it will be great for security on the net.

Hmm, so its been awhile since I upgraded my site, loving the latest wordpress. Been meaning to upgrade but was afraid of losing everything and have to waste time fixing the site. That is not the case luckily. it went very well and I have no complaints about the upgrade process.

on other news I came up with a funny website which I am currently building. It will still be sometime before it goes live but think it might make a buck or two and I’m writing it in cake so Will not be heavy development time.

I am still working on getting a camera and start shooting. things are going slow with that idea though. There have been some issues in my life that will slow most of my plans down. I have already registered a new account on deviant art for uploading my images.

Follow up on the friends connector scripts.

I like the idea that google can handle my comments, how ever from using it the past little while there are a few things I need to make note of. When a new comment comes I do not get notified of it, I’m hoping this can be changed via the control panel of google, going to check it out just now. Second I selected the option to use ID’s and not pages so I can have more than one box on a page. As you can see from my home page that hasn’t worked out so great. Only one box is displayed at a time.

Other than those two things I am happy with it, so now its time to make it better.

Have a great Wednesday.

So doing the whole job searching thing has got my parents talking about my look again, I think its there favourite topic. They speak about it every chance they get. Not sure why, if you compare me and my brother, he is the smarter looking one and should be better off, also he studied at UCT and got very far yet is earning nothing compared to me. One more thing to think about hey.

What I wanted to really know is that if someone came to an interview in a smart casual outfit would that be a bad thing? I mean I don’t own any shirts yet I got other clothes that are very smart. The type of thing I would got to work in sometimes.

How important is this to you, a fake person who is selling themselves to you or a passionate person who does not hide the truth about themselves.

I would love to know what other people think on this subject.

So its been awhile since I posted anything. had a small break and spent all my time working around my house. not really a break but I didn’t get near a computer for the whole week, which is different for me.

Anyway, so there are two things that top my mind today. First I see Google has released a operating system with all there app attached to it. The screen-shot look really cool and the amount of memory needed to run the OS is only 256 MB which is nothing compared to the average machine today. I’m a little worried about the usefulness of there OS without a internet connection as something that uses so little ram would be great for this country but if a 24/7 connection is needed then it might be a waste of time. I will have to wait and see though. don’t have a copy yet and not sure if I will be able to get one too soon.

On a happy note, two unknown people to me go engaged over twitter…
Still not sure how I feel about this, the whole thing is a virtual event so far, they are not in the same city at the moment so everything is happening over the net.

twitter.com/grobertson

Well what ever happens I hope the two of them have a great life together and don’t spend too much of it in a virtual space.

Here be my favourite link of the week: 29 Really Creepy and Creative Photoshopped Self Portraits

Sweet, will dig to see how this all works and what the results will be like, I like testing these things out. Truth be told I never make any money out of them I do enjoy seeing how they work. Don’t think you wont make any money from it, I just never work hard on getting the visitors I need to make the cash. Note to self, make a plan to get the bigger banner on here.

I have recently started doing some more posts and am currently trying to think of a theme for this site to give relative content.

OK moving on got to get back to work, want to go home soon but need to get stuff done. I’ll be at Gotham tonight if anyone wants to see me.

Cheers for now..

I was working on my home machine the other day, cleaning up files and trying to remove un-needed folders and so forth. Thats cool yes nothing wrong with that. except I was doing it on a linux live system and when I rebooted into windows, it did not work anymore :(

Well thats cool, I then install Ubuntu 7 thinking that could do everything I need… wrong, in order for ubuntu to be useful at all you need a internet connection and that is something I don’t have at home. A standard install of Ubuntu you cannot watch dvd’s which is the main usage of my home pc, plus a number of other things, avi files don’t play without downloading the codec. I got a copy of vlc source hoping that this would solve the issue only to find out that the version of gcc cannot create executables. Great, what now? I am hoping to get a copy of fedora soon which could solve the problem but for now I have LindowsOS running which plays all the avi/dvds I need it to how every does not connect to SCSI drives where the avi’s are located.

This has made me wonder how far the linux desktop has come. When I think of a home machine the first thing I think of is no internet connection with the need to watch dvds and connect to local machines to share files. Also the need to mount hard drives and configure sounds cards is not on the menu of tasks to be done. The later versions handle some of the harder tasks but simple things are left out.

In the end the question I have on my mind on this topic is the open source going in the right direction? OS’s like Unbuntu are been targeted to third world countries where there is little chance of having a internet connection yet there system requires a connection….
