Feelin' good

HTML assignment = defeated. Quite possible that was the most time consuming assignment ive ever done. I have like a miniscule amount to polish off otherwise im done. After careful consideration i have decided im NOT going into the web design field of work, not that it was my intention anyways. I like being sane to a certain degree. Basically i chose 4 bands. Protest the Hero, Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold and Maximum The Hormone and made a biography/exhibition on each one. Im quite pleased with my result. Probably not as happy as this kid, but almost haha.
Ah what to do now though now im finished....hmm... oh maybe the other 3 assignments that the university kindly made due all next week that i havent started because this one took a millenium. Should be ok though if i stick to it.

We had no lecture for any of our classes last week. So good. AND no lecture for Network media for the next 2 week! Woot!!!
This weeks lec was probably the easiest one up to date to understand. We learnt some things about the world and the web.
Apparantly humans are good at at recognising patterns. Like clothing, structure and music to name a few (wish my drummer could recognise the pattern in his own drum beats so they would at least maintain some sort of flow and musical sense....bahahaha jokes jokes). Perhaps he is not human....but im sure a computer is programmed to have precise timing...hmmm...dilemma. What is he? or it? am i safe?...probably not if he reads this. MOVING ON!
ummm..patterns! Patterns emerge over time. (perhaps my drummer has a chance then hahaha more jokes, but usually the song is over by then so thats just no help).
Anyways we leant that the interesting differences of how internet and the physical world have their limitations and not. Like a computer can hold a massive amount of information, such as novels, ad send it with ease across the globe. Where a human can only lift a certain amount of books before some sort of injury. although the internet cant pass a book across a room. That would be teleportation, and that would be cool. But not yet. GET ONTO THAT SCIENTISTS!!!! But a human can throw the book across the room (at a pace we desire). How convienient we humans are.
So Michael told us how the 'book' was cutting edge technology back in the day. And peope back during scroll and stone tablet days would probably have sold their camels and children for this spine bound artefact....well thats what i imagined anyway.

Erm, apart from patterns we learn about conventions. So basically ways people have done things. Like build buildings, write books, write drum beats......hahaha i should stop. So some conventions are worth following to keep things working. However if you are confident your new way will work and is better, go for it.
So we learnt about Ontology - the study of what there is eg; time, space, what is concievable.......thrilling. For those who are willing to study that...you and me are probably not on the same page. Taxonomy - process of working things out and how things relate to each other. And we talked about Heirarchy and Categories about how over time processes to making things change. Using tags to make things easier for users to find stuff on the web. The Yahoo directory is a good example of categorised tags to make life easier. We learnt about MACHINE TAGS which organises things in a certain order. namespace:predicate=value. The example Michael gave was Lastfm:event=613510, which i found coincidental because i searched lastfm HEAPS for my assignment. Omg i seem to have writen an absolute wad of info. Im stopping.
So i cant really wait for next week to be done and all my assignments handed in. I have been wanting to rewatch The Lord of the Rings again haha but just had no time.
