Lower Case (and Irony)

recently i did the australian business week, where we needed to design a product, make a report, powerpoint, logo, brand name, advertisement, and prototype, and do a simulation of it. naturally i was the designer in my team, and i came up with the brand name, designed the logo, came up with the colours, and pretty much did everything design. i decided, for some reason, that i would use no capital letters in the designing. i opted for a neat, sans serif typeface, originally hoping to use a font i

Returning To My Roots

Today, I successfully rooted my Legend. I just flashed my first ROM to it, 'L'espresso', an Espresso Sense UI for the new T-Mobile MyTouch Slide. It's working! =D Looks pretty neat so far, it's quite cool with all the --   WHAT THEY REMOVED TWITTER!   Twitter integration on the MyTouch Slide is NON EXISTANT! No twitter app Not even an option to sync twitter to FriendStream.   *goes looking for the HTC twitter widget, crying "No, come back, I love you!"*   By the way the customisation optio

@marsphoenix

Official Twitter for the Mars Phoenix rover. It's bio is "I dig Mars".   I wasn't going to follow, but that pun was fantastic.

Work Experience And Qi

This week is work experience week! Oh boy! I've spent my week helping at a library. I'm writing this, on fact, on the bus, listening to I am the Doctor from the proms on loop. Its the only music I can fit on my phone until my new microSD card arrives. The good thing about Work Experience is that I get a basically stress-free week and I don't have any homework. So I can pretty much spend my free time however I like without any hassle. And on top of that, I get much higher chances of employment i

Still Sick

Somehow, I'm STILL sick. I've had a massive headache since yesterday morning. And on top of that, I'm not allowed to have medicine, so my acne is getting really bad.   D=   But hey, I get out of my vaccinations today (can't have them while you're sick), so that's a sort of plus, considering my fear of needles.

Various Things

I haven't made an entry in a while, so I thought I might as well.   I've been playing Platinum quite a lot recently. I'm trying to finish the national Pokedex. My seen count is at 340 and my caught is 100 and something.   Right now I'm training my Dragonair and any random Pokemon I haven't evolved yet.   I'm also very excited about the new TF2 update, the Sniper/Spy Update, since I main Spy, and the Dead Ringer looks awesome.

Aw Come On!

Now this is simply unfair. The HTC Aria just got the new Sense, so now pretty much every HTC phone ever has a decent Froyo ROM except the Legend. Meanwhile I have a slow and dying phone with 2.1 and practically no developer support. Ugh. If only I could afford a new phone >.>   Rav

Procrastination

I've got a bit of a procrastination problem. For example, I have a series of exams starting tomorrow, important exams, and yet, here I am.   I can't shake it. I was determined this morning to write some essays and prepare for the English exam, but here we are at 6:30 PM and I've only done a bit of coding all day. I've managed to procrastinate despite very slow internet and stopping myself going on the more time-sinking websites. It's quite an achievement really.   I suppose I could possibly get

September ∴ New Ipods

It's that time of the year again. Apple announced it's new iPods, which all look pretty awesome.   The new Touch is basically an iPhone without a phone, in every sense. It's thinner than the old one, with an A4, a retina display, and two cameras, one shooting 720p video, the other front-facing. It runs iOS 4.1, and is just generally awesome.   The new Nano is tiiiiiiiiny! It's got a 1.7" touchscreen, and that's about it. Three buttons (on/off, vol. up, vol. down), a headset jack, and a 30-pin

Give the Wii Swype. Just an idea. It'd help, seriously.   Rav

In A Brave New World!

I listened to Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds a couple of days ago, and I can't get it out of my head now! It does have some good songs, though. And a good story. So I suppose it's OK.   My favourite's Brave New World, where the Artilleryman sings about his plan of living underground:   We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they clap eyes on us and we're dead, right? So, we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where? Underground! You

Musings Of A Spring Eve

As I lie here, having just watched the first of two shows (the second of which I attended live) by the immensely wonderful Stephen Fry on the ABC, at around 10pm, I remember my weekend, with caves and animals galore, The magnificent, wonderful Jenolan Caves yesterday and today the Taronga Western Plains Zoo, both so easily entire weekends themselves, Jenolan especially and perhaps more. That was fantastic, both locations. But what I wanted to express today was not my joy at going to these place

Winpho!

Wow. WinPho looks very very very nice. But unfortunately I fear it may be at the compromise of function.   I can't wait for it, though. If I had money I'd pick up one, probably an HTC Surround, but I'd also pick up a Palm Pre 2, probably first, because I want WebOS! But before that I'd need to upgrade my Android, obviously. OK, Desire HD, Pre 2, Surround, that's the new list   Too bad all the phones need to be expensive and high-end.   Oh that's right, I just remembered! There's a company calle

Froyo For Legend

It's these sorts of things that make me NOT want to sell my Legend. Maybe.   I said this in the Android topic, but Froyo's AWESOME! =D   Yay! =D   Rav

Tetris And Angry Birds (gaming)

Recently I've been playing mobile games more. Mainly a Tetris game on the Android Market called Tetronimo, and also Angry Birds, which my sister has on iTouch and I have in beta on Android. I also play solitare a bit.   I love Tetris, it's addictive and fun. I'm OK at it, but not terribly good. Angry Birds is REALLY good, but I can't play much, because the beta is buggy and I don't have an iTouch. If I did, It'd be mainly for Angry Birds   I'm not what you'd call a gamer, I'm a casual gamer i

The Stars + Total Update

The Stars are out in Australia!   I have no idea why I haven't said this on my blog until today, after all, I got them 4 days ago.   I like the Stars, particularly Nektann, Tahu, and Rahkshi. The first thing I did when I got them was to replace the MU beings' hands with MU hands, because beings of the MU do not have hands. A side effect was that Tahu's shield increases in awesomeness by a factor of 1 billion (that is, it looks like a proper shield, rather than a little disc or something.).

See what I did there? It's some tweets! And a button! Clicking the button takes you to my Twitter page!   Oh how exciting! I do so love Twitter! Feel free to follow me, because I might be interesting!   Rav

Sherlock

Was fantastic. Loved it. Moffat wins again. Brilliant. Can't wait for the second one. Fortunately that's on tonight, and the third tomorrow. Unfortunately, because it's on a commercial channel, it goes on half an hour too long, so I can't watch it all. I'll have to watch it tomorrow then, I suppose. And the next day. Because if the first one's anything to go by, they'll be magnificent.   In other things, Angry Birds full version was released! Hoorah! I shall spend hours trying to beat it!   I
