I need a new mouse

Published on February 18, 2009 by Noel Madali

I have a long night ahead of me, and I would like to procrastinate by saying I need a new damn mouse.  My mouse’s clicking functionality is lacking it its clicking.  It takes me doubly longer to click than it normally would, therefore I have deduced that I need a new damn mouse.

Any who, I have to read 3 chapters from “System’s Analysis and Design with UML Version 2.0,” read about 50 or so pages of Not For Sale by David Batstone, and read chapter 5 for Sociology.  Long night? Yes.  On top of all that, I have a test in IS2060 (System’s Analysis), which I am not quite ready for.  Plus work!

My newest project to tackle is a redesign of clubs.kennesaw.edu, and to give it a more user friendly feel.  I’ll update with a screenshot on what I have going on for it.  Since it’s a second tier .edu website, I don’t have much wiggle room in terms of its design.  But perhaps it might work out well enough.

Oh yeah, I’ll have to post about my Google Calendar solution for WordPress.  But that would be after I get things done.

Until then.. Study!

I jumped the gun and made a redesign anyway!

Haha, so yeah… I did say I was going to post a design after i recoup my designer’s block, but it turns out that I am back.

The design was sorta simple yet went back to my own tastes with various inspirations elsewhere. I do like simplicity, and I think simplicity fits me well. I would like to try out various other styles of design like the very artsy vintage, grunge styles, and vectorish modernish.

They should have a class specifically for web design styles, haha. Then again, there might be stuff already made for that and I wouldn’t even know.

So today I completely neglected the fact I had a math exam in calculus. I stayed up all night until 5am doing my website and formatting my portfolio to be displayed.

I still have not come up with a great work flow that covers the creative aspect as well as the organized format of a web design portfolio. If you don’t know what I mean, I am talking about what to do when you create a finished product or work, such as a wallpaper. How would you display it for the world to see on a website? More specifically, would you keep copies of your wallpaper in an archive on your external hard disk (like me) and make a copy specifically for your website to distribute?

Also, how do people go about making thumbnails? Thumbnails are really a pain… This is true for even different sizes of print material.

As you can also see, I have updated my portfolio. You can see my various works I have finished. I think I will update it to have titles and general information on the works.

And I must not forget my resume..

Internet Safety Tips From Someone Who Doesn’t Care

Published on January 24, 2008 by Quan Vo

So, do you have a young kid? Do you have the internet? Are you afraid? Well you should be. As we all know, the internet can be a great resource for learning and it can teach you everything you might need to know and yada yada yada. Well, whatever; we all know that for the most part we all spend probably 95% of our time on the internet playing games, chatting, procrastinating… generally wasting time. So sure, it’s easy for kids to accidentally type the wrong word into google and end up with a shitload of porn, or for them to befriend the wrong 14 year-old girl who actually ends up being a 42 year-old guy named Bill with a strange affinity for children. Well if you have children and you’re afraid of this happening, then keep reading and maybe your child will survive…(cue dramatic music here) the internet…
