Well, from a server point of view, stuff is up and running, and I'm gradually getting through the process of content creation (YAY!).

• Create a website for personal purposes
• Run countless websites for work (this eats into your spare time like you wouldn't believe )
• Help your girlfriend move house
• Find a full time job
• Rewire a radio studio
• Run a computer repars-rebuilds business from home to help keep your head above water
• Find a full time job
• Re-Learn Java, C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, despite just having finished five years at university getting a Computer Science degree, because the last two years involved NO PROGRAMMING WHATSOEVER
• Eat
• Sleep
• Wash
• Find a full time job

I guess it's not that amazing after all. Well, I should probably get to work on some content for this site eh?

If these FTP server problems continue this site will never get to go live. Hopefully I can do something about it before midnight, otherwise the site will be delayed until next week, and that just won't do at all.

Also, I have added my old Java text-scroller applet at the top of this page. I was sifting through my old source-code files looking for a piece of run-length compression code I wrote a while ago and I came across the source for my scroller which works rather well. So, I thought to myself "Why not?", and here it is.

I think I might change the code a bit. At the moment all the colours, the scroll speed and even the "sleep time" between redraws are parameters. But I would like to add basic HTML type functionality, with text attributes (colours, bolding, italics, underlining, etc...), text font, and even image and hyper-link support. I also intend to place this applet on the "Programs" page for download for public use, when I get the chance.

Site officially delayed until 2:00pm March 7th, due to problems with Telstra's FTP server.

Well my work load is going from "crazy" to "insane" at the moment at work, and all I have is 10 megs of web space to work with for this site. But on the bright side I finally graduated. Yes, that is correct, I am now a B.App.Sci. (C.S. & S.Eng.) - That's "Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science and Software Engineering"

Site ready to go online, but thanks to those knuckle-heads at telstra, the FTP server is down and I am unable to put this site live.

This is the part where I get to winge about stupid people. "Why?" you ask (or maybe you don't). Because it's my site! If you don't like it, make your own one. Rant! Rant! Rant!

Ho boy! What a day!
It was one thing after another today. At the end of it all, this site stil wasn't live, my CD burner is dead, a very large portion of my work colleagues give me the impression that they couldn't get out of bed without a map and the weather is utterly rotten.
