I have been rushed off my feet recently with deadline, design, exams and unfortunately drama. What I have done is made head way with severely of my project when I have had the time. The first of which is a big one for me,

DoodleBite Creative Studios (DoodleBite CS) [News]

DoodleBite is my developing creative studio devoted to design and the quality and ethical work that it includes. In preparation for this I when and purchased some goodies to help the project along with the new domain of doodlebite.com (previously unavailable when I registered doodlebite.net). I have been working be hind the curtains to try and make this as amazingly to look at and also provide a steady bace on which to develop on the years to come. I also have made some decoctions and have decided that LCN will be my supported domain company. My interaction with LCN (or Telvo as it was once called) have been my domain provider for many years now and I am proud to recommend them as reliable, creative and trustworthy company. It may not be as largely known as some of them but don't be fooled, when I last registered a domain 20th May 2011 they were serving over 737,000 assuming I interpreted there URL system correctly. .... read more »

The written word has been around for many a year, and will go on for many more I have now doubt but the power of these tiny little things, no matter how small or insufficient or even the ones we miss out I'm sure we have all found them to be so in our lives. Words can create art, stir feelings, elaborate ideas, postulate belive and dictate actions and yet so many of us can forget them. My self being dyslexic and wholly relent on the aid of a spell checker (and Google when this fails to make make since of my ramblings) to insure that my authoring are ineligible have not always seen eye to eye with them so this is dedicated to the humble word/s (depending on your situation) so it would seem apropret to play with them before I continue.

Not to go off on too much of a tangent however I also found the following very good to watch, even if they don't all make scene, there at the end of the post as to prevent the accumulation of mess (of just click here). .... read more »

My goodness how has the time span past since I first started my on line life. The Internet is one of those things my this generation have simply grown up with yet only about 20% of this planet have been hooked up. Today we see it as a nessiesty and this is reinforced by the fact that people carry a low speed link to smart phones. I have to admit with my laptop giving me the run around I have been coming to the conclusion very slowly that it may not make it to uni as my main one. Today I got back from the UCAS Art and Design exhibition at ExCel London, finding the over ground quite entertaining and stations designed with smooth glass and steal to form a web of walkways, having looked at many Uni stalls. Apple had a plot too which fuled my aggravation with the assumption that a Mac is best for design?? Come on, its the Adobe software that makes it what it is, the rest is just the look, that didn't stop me form entering a few "win an iPad" compactions, I love touch screen. 

Anyway, as I type this you will net be able to see it once published as I am still working on the design but needless to say that I am very proud so far of how it looks. I have some foreboding about the header image however since my hair is so much longer then the last design incorporated I really needed to redesign the site again (for the 3rd time, get the title>?) plus I felt it looked shabby... now if only I could get round to my bedroom.

Well at the moment I'm up to my eye balls in nothingness and yet got so much to ge sorted out and to do as well in my Summer Holidays, 2 weeks in and I still haven't started on my site shake ups. This will include a better blog interface for me to get my updating this more, as well as a new look to this website. Yes I'm aware for those who know me or have seen me out and about that I really need to update my photo at the least since my hair has well and truly returned form its days of past.

Also on my lists of things to do are take more photos, get a job, use my blog, learn music more then humming, get cracking on driving, start work on my Dads house and garden, touch type, bring myself to wach Torchwood Season 2 (still can't bring myself to), work on a "friendship" but technically its not allowed to be called that so...err, past friend.. no, to much "past", OK maybe just try and live my life.

In terms of new stuff to look out for in my shake up are the development and launch of DoodleBite Creative Studios, my Arty Portfolio and Design work coming on line, hope to do more with the VL Studios as well as working on my ever growing project of mySST. However I have been keeping my self bussy, fear not.. not that you would but.. don't know where I was going with that but anyway I have finished ccEquestrian as well as 2 new vids on mySST

I leave this post with one last thing to come, some poetry, pholosapy and a story or 2 because this life, your lives and anyone in this world who can stop to smell the roses will find its only just starting... that includes anyone who reckons there time is up and youf Jack... na just joking, old but I still like it to see the look of sudden fear from being mentioned by name. Special thanks to Jacob, Luke, George and Jonti for all coming to the Toon night, I think it when really well and I enjoyed it, hope you did to but I think I need to make sure all the vids are playable as well as post some "Are you thinking, what I'm thinking?" in homage to the amazing Pinky and The Brain

Anyone been watching Sherlock?

With this weekend’s sunny weather as well as scorching Monday and Tuesday before it’ll become very cold again many of us would have had got used to the warm and comfortable whether and some no doubt will be glad to see the back of it. However everything seems to be changing at moment.  For those of you familiar with 106-109 FM that there is no doubt that the change to heartbeat was something that unsettled a lot of radio limners when it switched a while back.  I’m quite attached to this radio station that I ended up doing my work experience there, it was exceedingly enjoyable and lots of fun however it saddened me when I finally found out that they officially had changed to the Jack format.  I’m someone who’ll listen to the radio for the personal touch from a presenter; although a lot of heartbeat was originally pre-recorded I still liked it as at least even these pre-recordings were real DJs whereas Jack FM seams to be simply just music with cheesy one-liners.  I was also quite disappointed to hear that they got rid of a lot of their DJ staff and I can’t say much for the new logo ever.  I first spotted that there might be something happening when the in the car I noticed it was transmitting the name Jack, I assumed that there was some sort of pirate interference and that Jack was a shortened version for hi-jack-ing the frequency.  I know there are a lot of people out there who like the new format however line of the opinion that if you want to listen to music nonstop then you should simply get your MP3 or iPod stick it on shuffle.

As some people know I haven't had a good year, far from it and it's not likely to get much better any time soon :( However at least i'm not as silly as this person (admitidely I made it up but I looks nice). On a tech side has anyone spotted that the chrome interface is diffirent to the one in the vid.

I think google knows something we don't :)

On a diffirent note I have gotten 2 projects moving. One is Vilont Lemmon Studios. I did the over all design (not fully coded but that's not my dep) as well as a new look for dhSP and finaly the chance for a bit of fun at my expence. I am ow so awere that no one can spell my name so as of today (a bit of time later after I finnish playing on ebay) www.guywithcrazyhair.co.uk will be an esaer URL of this site. I can't weight to set up the frount page it will get! Or should I get thegutwithcrazyhair.co.uk insted? ARRR :D

Off line until ferver notes. No email, mob, IM or Facebook.

See you on the other side. Just can't lead my life and a digetal one. Stop pushing dam it, cos then I just want to push back! World I will not be told what to do, espeshaly to the insaly of second hand words, you make asumtions on your own head be it.

Ok I know its late a late nights posting but in the words of the song I'm lissning to, "I don't care" ;) Anyway the Friday last I spent the vest part of the day with my friend Hannah and her friend who I am proud to call a friend even if she is a bit... well mad :) . Ok enough with the smilys, anyway I spent the time helping not being as horsey as these two and more to me taking photos. I have cropped and uploded some of my favorites to my site (and blooming facebook to keep up with the tagging).

So in all it is and was a jolly day but today (well technicly yesterday now) I was less to after another round of "Give-and-Take". Im just really fed up with humanity and most of the year below now, I slowly but truely comming to pass what I saw could and even with most ties cut I still can't help but keep half an eye open and feel sorrow (how can people be so harsh? well I couldn't see myself). Why do I care, well that's a question for the ages but Iv got work to do (a tone if I'm honest but I'm on the right road). .... read more »

Well its the time of year when I'm on my half term and feeling so miserable its not even remotely funny however the only "funny" thing is that I then tend to go a little photo mad so yesterday (18/02/2010) I met up with a friend briefly at 6am (not any of the people on this page), had a quick walk through so dam spooky woods then parted ways. I walked home and picked up my trusty camera and moved on to taking so photos of a sun rise (as it was to be at 7:08am). I found that it was far to dark to venture through the vast wood to the hill I would be shooting from and so took the more street route. However my luck is as about as tangible as dark matter and so the clouds and my calculations of the sun's direction were off. So I got some really nice photos anyway and more importantly practically froze my fingers off.

After this I got home and had a look and was feeling so down I got the craving to print some pics and since I'm still decorating my room (an on going adventure) I was to use them in brining my room to life more with memory of old and new. .... read more »

Ok, some of you will have used/use Google's Chrome but did you know that there have been plans for it to be an OS (oparating system like Windows 7). This vid explanes it dam well however I think it has something hiding.

Fact 1: All your data will be saved online. Its the cloud system (like windows skydrive) and if people use Chrome OS then skydrive will take a skydive. Ok, its intresting but it limmits your size of files (but dose provide a good backup, if your pc gets damaged your data is safe). This seems ideal for Netbooks. People don't understand that there only realy for web browsing and so that come to my next point nicely.

Fact 2: You need an internet conection. OK, fine for home inviroment and evenchaly the web will trly be wirless world wide but untill then your looking at the portability of your netbook down the pan as you can't use it anywhere whthout wifi and then your documents can become comprimed ower public wifi.

Fact 3: It brings the use of web applications center spotlight. I love web applications but the problam is you end up reling on your conection speed. I find more and more web apps better to use then some of the top range stuff like Photoshop but again, no conection, no pc as it were. .... read more »
