Saw a link for this on greenlightsabers blog. Its a program you can download called flyakiteOSX, to make you windows look like a mac!

After downloading and installing, I can say I quite like it. Looks very nice, and works great, without comprimising hte performance.

It has some nice features, like the object dock you can send windows to, and then it dispears. When you put the mouse at the bottom of the screen, it appears again. Stops you start bar (yes its still there) getting full of windows. Also, the current in teh start bar is a contrasting colour compared the the rest of the windows in the start bar.

Apart from that it looks damn sexy! Go try it out. Its 32 Mb.

Watched this last night - thought it was quite good.

Main actors were Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

Film is based around a cop (john travolta) chasing a terrorist (nicolas cage). Terrorist plants a bomb, so the cop swaps faces with the terrorist (terrorist was in a coma) to talk to the terrorists friends and find the bomb. A few twists here nad there, John Travolta saves the day and gets his face back.

I thought it was quite good, some nice explosions, and the way the actors had to change personalities was cool.

Worth watching =)

I got a service award at school today. Not quite sure what for, as I havent done very much, (ie anything) for the school worthy of an award. The only thing I did do (the school council) Ive quit.

The school holds a special assembly for us to receive our award. We all file onto the stage, shake the headmasters hand, get a certificate, and walk off. Note I said 'a certificate'. They always get the order wrong, so we the students spend 20 minutes getting our certificate. 

 Next rant - university loans.

 In 6th form, we have a 6th form co-ordinator, someone to guide us through ucas and university admissions etc. He is a useless twat. Art teachers *rolls eyes*

We have to organise our own year book, our own photographers. We organise out prom. But the best is yet to come….

I was in the common room yesterday. One student had very responsibily put a notice on the board:

'If you want a non - income assessed loan, you have to fill out a 20 page form by this friday. '

She also gave a web address.

Why the fuck hadnt the teacher responsible (gets paid a bit extra too) for this told us ???

If that girl hadnt of put up that notice, loads of people wouldnt have had a clue, and wouldnt get their loan in time for uni. Just ridiculous.

Fortunately im gettin an income assessed one, so I have an extra month and a half to do it =) 

I applied for this a few weeks ago. Its done by the BBC.

Basically, the BBC wants people to goto the We Media conferance and talk about how they use digital media - torrents, blogs etc. They get free admission to the conferance, lunch, and a bit of cash and entry to the last two talks.
I figured that being a user of torrents and blogs, I might aswell apply for it. Im having some kind of phone chat (interview ?) on monday. (written on saturday:)  )
Had a phone call this morning (monday) in my free period - looks like im in =) 

Spose I should go learn about digital media =p

Started recording some of my practice sessions on my guitar for fun, there gona go up here:

www.myspace.com/00metal0sam00

needs to be refined.

From what I can tell at the moment, blog search engines, like the google one, search your entire blog. Instead they need to search each individual post. While this would severely comprimise the saerch time, it would give a much more accurate result. I think !

for example, my blog gets hits for 'photos of girls on myspace'. I have photos in my title, myspace in one post, and proxies mentioned in a noter seperate post !!! So when that guy ( I assume - could be female, although I doubt it), gotos my site, he / she wont be very happy. 

Technorati seem to have worked around this with the tagging idea. You can tag each individual post, choosing the keywords, and then technorati searchs the tags ! Only problem is searching for something longer than a word =p

Kinda sucked. I have no money - so no going out, drinking, partying.

Played diplomacy on monday, is quite a cool game. Very complex on the level of interacting with the the other layers, actual game play is very simple.

So at the moment, just chilling, trying to get back into photography, still playing guitar, and doing more revision :D 

That when I open the windows vista homepage, my internet explorer crashes =p

have offered me BBC for physics with a year abroad ! wooo !

Probably going to have bath as my insurance and york as my first choice…

So I started to learn c. C is evil, very very evil. But im still earning it anyway, figured I should try and make some maths programs to feed my university homework into =)

With some help from Gerald I made a program that multiplied two numbers together, and then using that, and some stuff off the net, I made one that asks you for two numbers, and then multiplies them together =)

This is it:

  /* Sams 1337 number timesing program */
        /* Take asks user fpr two numbers and multiplies them together */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
        /* Asks user for a number */
        printf("\n enter an integre number….\n");

/* Defines variables - the two inputs and the output */

float     number1;
float     number2;
int     answer;

        /* Prompts user to input a number */
        scanf("%f", &number1);

        /* Asks user for a second number */
        printf("\n and another one….\n");

        /* Prompts user for as econd number */
        scanf("%f", &number2);

        /* Tells user what is happening to the numbers */
        printf("\n the two are multiplied together….\n");

        /* Multiplies the two numbers together */
        answer = number1 * number2;

        /* Prints the answer */
        printf("%4d\n", answer);

/* Tells system everything is ok */
return 0;
}

Notes:

•  /* */ contains comments for someone going through the code. Isnt actually used when compiled.
• after every argument ( i think this is the correct term, ie every variable, sum, etc ) you must have a ;
• # include <stdio> is the libbrary that tells the computer how to interpret scanf printf
• { } contains the function.
• This will only work for linux (  think :S)
• I still have a lot to learn !
