Oh well, only four months til reality arrives.

Writing a small essay on "Recent (within the last 12 months) intellectual properties for the world wide web", and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for areas to cover.... I'm covering things like the progression of online music buying, companies using 1-click shopping registered...

Just thought I'd get the standard xmas greeting out of the way! Gonna be away from any internet or outside world contact over the next month or so to work solidly on my dissertation (Mike, guess the subject...! although knowing me I've mentioned it at some point anyway! :lol:), Channel 4 advert and ...

Would have put this in the links, but thought it was relevant!

Go to google, type in "miserable failure" and click I'm Feeling Lucky...

Apparently you can/could get the bonus disc if you did something at Nintendo Europe's site... signed up for something or whatever. Something about credits? Haven't a clue, just somebody mentioned it...

Sorry, not much help there!

Well, the end result was basically what you said Shane - but they also quoted disciplinary procedures onto him. There was one interesting bit though - nothing to do with the story as such - but i got talking to one of the girls who had her music nicked, found out we were both from the area I went to...

Problem I've got is the number of people wanting blood. I've been getting loads of people complaining about the network being down, and about music from their collections being copied. I've told them straight that they can turn off their sharing if they want to, but they say it's all up to us. :evil...

Couldn't resist to tell this story..... I've been helping out with the Halls of residence network setup to get people connected to the net through their rooms. Anyway, since iTunes became available for Windows there was a lot of that sharing going on. Anyway, this evening I get a phone call from the...

Oh well...

It's been all-go here, been keeping myself occupied with my final year of uni, and a few side projects... I've found myself on the road a lot (laptops change the way you do things big time i've noticed!), making money here and there on top of my halls job. Just finished a rather basic design for som...

joys of being that time of the year..... i don't think anybody can beat my record for sneezing at any time though!

I also finally said goodbye to my old computing course lot....

All quiet really... in my case it's real-world stuff. Soon catches up!

Forum's gone very very posh wouldn't you say... Nice look. I say, feels very smooth, what...

Some coursemates have launched their work site. pretty good, but is very Shockwave-intensive! http://www.loopdiggers.com - Can run VERY slow at the best of times.... some good stuff there. Also should mention www.southamptongraphics.co.uk - this was done by the graphic design lot. got a few of us mu...

moby, decided to do the iTV one, and base it on local government services rather than national (my course leader liked that idea...). plus i know how good ol' Southampton is at times.....

so if i need a helping hand, i may stick a message or two up! cheers for that....

done by the same people who did that Internet Killed the Video Store lot, this one did it for me...

hehehe...

Mike, that's too much..... very very funny!!

Made my day seeing those pic's...

Thanks for that... and that site is brilliant! :) I'll be making my mind up over the weekend - that iTV one is growing on me, but as I say I have a few ideas for the Voting by design one... grrr... :roll: when i get some ideas and get any projects sorted I'll put them up at www.sleepingboy.co.uk for...

final year's begun, and we've been thrown in the deep end with the choice of 1 of 3 assignments set by the RSA.... never seen anything like them in my life! Any interpretations? I'm currently looking at Interactive Media, but Voting by Design is starting to appeal.... Interactive Media Voting by Des...

Well, not sure what to make of this... Had the meeting last Friday, and they said that the majority of concerns I addressed to them were actually for Apple UK and not the Cardiff place. Even though I had been send there from Apple UK, and not discounting the obvious that it was the Cardiff centre th...

My mac developed exactly the same fault recently as it did last year when they said I had dropped the unit. I sent a rather shitty e-mail and letter off to both the Cardiff centre and Apple UK. The Cardiff place tried to fob me off with the fact it could be an unrelated fault, but this time I put my...

oh well....

oh, one face I forgot completely about. caused a bit of a stir when he arrived too. RUSS MICHAELS!

Dang......... I was kinda wondering around like a lost thing for a while, I must admit. :) Then I found Vinny and Frank, then Andrew. Kenz is tops... Felt the same way - all those t-shirt wearing people, and there I was in a black shirt and blue jeans! :D woow, sooooo retro!!! Mike, Simon, I back Sh...
