Last before the summer

Yo yo yo! How's it doing dawg! Havn't been on here for a while so I'll update you guys on me.

I just got back from Belgium - it rocked! We made loads of money and the whole tour was great. I will never forget the people on it, and how great they all are. I've taken loads of pictures to help me remember everything, although the stories I will never forget. It really does seem so sad when things like this end, because ultimately you get so close to certain people, that to then have to leave them behind doesn't seem right. We got really close (all 43ish of us), and had a great time. Legends were made, and no one shall be forgotten.

So yeah, summer! It's coming, it's bloomin' hot too! First week Keswick, second Ambleside. Then Soul Survivor, and then France for 2 weeks. It's going to be good, and I really can't wait to catch up with Keswick mates. Soul Survivor is also going to be a lot more intimate this year - none of the older group are going, and there's only 3 guys!

My exams went pretty well, and my report was good. Just got to work hard now.

Work on my website has stopped - exams stopped it, and after the exams I've had nothing except work to do. The teachers seem to have forgotten that after the exams it's meant to be just a dos - we've been set tons of coursework, and it's no fun believe me. Virtually every subject has given me something of some sort . We also havn't had the revised timetable, something that everyone loves. Ah well, at least I remember the good old days before Parker became Head - I do believe he's taking down the school. Bring on Hedley! So yeah, back to web design. I shall briefly outline my ideas and projects.

1st: derailed.com becomes free on 4th September 06. I hope to buy the URL. This shall be where my personal portfolio shall be. I hope to do this in Flash, although maybe with just a plain text version, with full CSS to follow.

2nd: derailed-exp.com - this is already available, but I am not buying it yet. It will be a place where I experiment with design. I plan to do this again in Flash, but with a proper xHTML and CSS compliant version. This will not necessarily have main content, but will be very very experimental, as suggested by the exp in the URL name.

3rd: designsundays.com - whilst I'm not totally sure about something like this, I'd quite like to do a collaborative website with someone - I had someone like Sam Rayner in mind, but I don't know. I don't know what It'd be, just something experimental, although currently a concept is needed to make it anything worthwhile.

4th: wakingupsober.com - available as ever, this will be the home of my blog. The blog WILL be xHTML and CSS compliant, and will have proper pages.

So yeah, as you can see, I need major hosting and major money. DAMN! Ah well. Trouble is, I'm going into GCSE year. I'm going to have to become very organised if I'm ever to do anything from the above. This blog can stay as it is, but my personal portfolio has to come first. Problem is I keep coming up with concepts, but then not sticking to them. I really want it to be creative and good, but I'm struggling to do something that's really ... arty..and...cool. However, derailed-exp should come along afterwards. I've just got to get round to doing it, and it won't be this summer. Whilst I love going away, it really leaves no time to make websites.

So yeah, that's a post about my summer holidays, generally about me, and my web projects. If it ever gets done, I'll be surprised. I may post after Keswick, but don't count on it. I will however take many pictures, so it'll be remembered.

Ok, bye!
