New Stuff

First of new videos on youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/mentalmarriott go check it out.

Now shameless plug is done bit about what I have been up to. Currently still in Uni durnig a bit of the holidays doing some of my individual assignment. I have to create a Point Of Sale system for a pizza shop and revise over a short holiday, not nice at all.

I keep trying to update my blog more and more but been a bit dull recently. Been swimming, done work, made few youtube videos. I need a project for me to work on so over the next week or so I shall hopefully find something to do.

I NEED a job. Money Is being stretched really thin and I want to earn some money. So far I am hoping my Google AdSense goes up to £60 so I can claim it. Just wish I could make a popular video, that would be brilliant.

Tired, Head hurts but loving doing work....

I have been working on my XHTML assignment for a while now and quite late as well. I hope it gets good marks as I feel I put a lot of effort into it. On a slightly similar note I had and in class assessment today...on another campus. It wasn't too bad as it was a nice day but I did really bad on the test as I failed to answer the last two questions missing out on 35 marks. Oh well looks like I am working my ass of on individual assignment (not XHTML) and revising a lot for the test.

MY BRAIN HURTS!!!

I have been doing so much work recently it hurts my head. One group project in, group presentation done, Web page making OK progress, PDP still miles behind and in for next week and still got another project to be handed out.

Morning annoyance

Well I was up at 4am today as I need to do work. Got project in for Thursday then another on the Friday and then more and more.

Memes!

The interwebs define them as;

An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation. An image, video, etc. that is passed electronically from one Internet user to another. Whether its Nyan cat, Rick Rolling or even adding "all of the " to *insert item/topic* memes are a popular and very handy thing to know how to use. Idea - First you need an idea whether it be from a obscure game or film or even one you created you need to have something that's catchy, annoying and sure to be used a hell of a lot. Even bad stuff can become memes (see Rebecca Black).  Catchy - It has to be something simple that everyone can say/do or join in on. It doesn't even need to make much sense. Repetitive things seem to work well or simple tunes. Combine the two for epic memes. Adaptability - The meme has to be able to be used in a wide range of scenarios. It's all good having a catchy tune but if you can bring it up often it will soon die out. The "All your base are belong to us" meme from bad Zero Wing translation has been used in a lot of things. "all your chips are belong to use" etc. Another notable one is over 9000! (Google these if you have never heard them before). Finally Life Span - A good meme will last a while or even return after some down time. If you can create a meme that is original, interesting, catchy and can adapt to many scenarios and have the talent to manipulate that you can be very rich. A good example of this is the Numa Numa guy, Gary Brolsma, who although making himself look a bit silly is not quite well off.
