Bit of an incredible journey for my USB Pen Drive...

Keith Greer — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 17:00:58 GMT

Bit of an incredible journey for my USB Pen Drive (affectionately known as my Doofer). At the start of today�s thrilling lecture on diagrams - don�t know the details, not great at listening in lectures - Charlie (Dr Zhonglin He) announced that I was wanted at the School of Environmental Sciences Office (e.g. the Geography department).

Turned out it wasn�t about attendance, but someone from the Causeway Hospital had found my afore mentioned Doffer in the middle of Coleraine, outside the Ulster Bank. He knew where to send it because I had a piece of Geography coursework, with my name and stuff.

So a big thanks to Damian at the Ross Thomson Unit, Causeway Hospital.

Anyhoo, have to go and finish the coursework which I have already restarted.

How NERDY are You?

Keith Greer — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 17:25:23 GMT

Overall, you scored as follows:

55% scored higher (more nerdy)
45% scored lower (less nerdy).

Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.

Finally got a grade back from my Web Application Coursework...

Exemplary piece of work, showing competence in both HTML and CSS. Advanced HTML elements present in form of image gallery (clickable thumbnails). Excellent report: well presented and structure. Well done.

Overall result was an A. Think I might like this module.

The Independent Commonwealth of Touch�

Keith Greer — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 01:26:31 GMT

I was perusing the huge buildup of random stuff on my web space and I came across a web page I must have made quite a while ago because I can't even remember making it. To cut a long story you should visit Homeof2J, it's all about the class I was in at the Causeway Institute and the weird stuff we got up to when not doing work (most of the time).

Here it is - the Independent Commonwealth of Touch� - or ICT*.

All comments queries welcome.

* It's funny because we were doing a computer course

Dynamic HTML, is there nothing it cannot do?

Keith Greer — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:29:45 GMT

Just added a new script from Dynamic Drive called Random Content Order script. The code allows the four content boxes (News, Music, Links and Keithblog) to appear in a completely different order each time the homepage is loaded. It doesn't seem to slow down the page too much and makes the site appear a bit more dynamic. If you have any problems please let me know.

I bought my first book for University this semester...

Keith Greer — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:14:03 GMT

I bought my first book for University this semester, it's called 'HTML, XHTML & CSS' by Elizabeth Castro, it's quite good and hopefully will come in useful, all �21.99 of it.

Oh, and I really have to add more photos to filckr.

Going to take this whole Last.fm thing seriously

Keith Greer — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 16:53:15 GMT

Got the plug-in and it's working. Unfortunately I have to use Windows Media Player because there is no plug-in for JetAudio, quite possibly the greatest media player. Below is a list of my recently played tracks, which is also on my homepage.

Ah, finally got to see my Uni accommodation.

Keith Greer — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 17:24:25 GMT

Wasn't able to see it when we were looking round. Here are some pictures of, quite possibly, the best student accommodation in the world.

Oh, and yes those are two TVs you see.

Keith Greer — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 17:14:29 GMT

Nice random photo for you there. Howdy everybody, just wanted to correct my calendar. Bit busy at the moment so haven't been updating this jobby as much as I should. But, never fear, I will be back with something more interesting - I promise.

While I'm here, I have been using the same sign-off "Bye for now, Keith" for quite a while and thought it might be time for a change. So far I have come up with Keith-out, what do ya think?

Bye for now,

Laptop link-up with southern Lebanese residents

Keith Greer — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:25:21 GMT

Martin Asser, from the BBC, is spending the day with residents of al-Khiyam southern Lebanon

Today the BBC is running a live link-up with residents of a southern Lebanese village, al-Khiyam, as residents return to their homes after the recent violence in the region.

You can send in questions, via the website, and read the responses so far from questions by people around the world.

The BBC have been stressing that they will also be visiting an Israeli village in the coming days.

Ever wanted to pimp up your meal times?

Offline again...

Keith Greer — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 14:37:46 GMT

Turns out I didn't like the new look as much as I thought. So now I'm working on something a little different, which should hopefully be ready soon.

Bye for now,
Keith.
