All finished my exams now... Both seemed to go ok but i'll have wait for the results to see how they went. It's gotten to the stage where I'm beginning to hallucinate so looking forward some sleep and some shopping. Then the coding can begin. i've taken all of Liz's advice on board so I'll be starting to attempt the first few bits in the coming days!
Yuck... it's exam time so all project work is on the back burner for the moment while I get some proper study done. Just two exams but two stinkers at that so I'll be drinking alot of coffee and having some late nights over the next few days. All will be finished up on the 16th so after a couple of days rest and recouperation I plan to get back on the project bandwagon....
Finally got a hold of Liz only to have her scare the bejesus out of me about the amount of work i have to do. I've since done some deep breathing and have calmed down enough to consider my options. There's alot to take in but she's given me some good advice on how to get started so I'll give it a go once the exmas are over and see how i get on. Watch this space!
Here's a nice articel which Liz gave me to read to help me get to grips with the basics. Happy reading.

I've decided on using the TiltViewer for my application as I have kind of fallen in love with it. I've been playing around with it for a while and I've switched the code around to incorporate some of the flyers I have made. Origionally the application was linked to Flickr. It pulled in images from Flickr and flipped around to give a description and a link to the Flickr page. It can be used as a viewer for your Flickr account. I've changed around some of the code so that it now brings in some of my own images, gives you more information and links to a video page (which I have yet to make). At the moment it is linking to Youtube video. I'm really looking forward to making it bigger and adding more design. I then hope to set up a login and a database for the administrator.
You can see my work so far: Click here
Here's a quick snapshot of the application as it looks in it's very early stage
I had my design presentation today (Tuesday 9th December) which I'm glad to have over! All went well I think and I've gotten some positive feedback on the work i've done so far. I'm now looking forward to getting stuck into some hardcore work over the xmas break. Loads to do with regards to the technical side of things. My meeting with Liz last Thursday had to be postponed as the lab was taken over with 2nd year presentations. I've spoken to Liz and she said she'll be available to answer questions tomorrow from 4 to 6 so i'll see if i can borrow her for a few minutes to discuss some of the features I want to include in my project. I'll keep you posted!
I've organised to meet Liz today to talk about connecting the Flash interface to my database. Not quite sure what to expect but she assures me I'll be able for it so I've got my fingers crossed. I'll let you know what's in store for me in the next post.
I've been told my design are too girly.... so ive gotten rid of some of the pinks which i used to make a new banner image. Below is the newest version. Not sure if I like it as much though :(

Despite not being a teenager, and nearly 25 I can still hear it. I reckon it's cause I'm a genious...
