After a recent brainstorming (mindshower...ing) session we have decided to bring in some new cruwys pictures and i have a few planned for the next week or so, keep your eyes peeled people.

helvetica
hello everyone,
it's last lesson on a wednesday and me and sean are sitting in dm IT doing some work on our major projects. I thought i might finish off the story of last lesson when me and chris were trying to fix our URL's, well what happened was that chris emailed awardspace and actually asked them what was going on, so they reply: "Please send us the URL's that aren't working" so chris tried to go to the URL and it worked and the only reason it didn't work before was because we didn't realise the URL was case sensitive.... so it was really embarrasing and so we were too afraid to email them back and tell them that we were wrong, and made a really amateur mistake. Really i blame chris because he's in charge of the xlgames subdomain and he's in charge of the folder that we were trying to link to so he should have made it with a lowercase U.
anyway.... me and sean have done some pretty solid work this lesson apart from when i was discussing the "hot doc" on SBS last night.... it was called "helvetica". It was all about the type face helvetica, how thrilling. so people were being interviewed about this font and you can see that they've spent their whole life revolving around this font, and how to tell the difference with it and other fonts.... they're so sad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica_(film) go check it out.... it's so depressing, some people REALLY need a life! and SBS even called it a hot doc??? why??? it isn't that hot at all...
anyway the bell just went

BOSS FIRING TIPS
hello everyone,
it's last period on tuesday and it's time for normal IT!!! what a lesson its been, unfortunately it was matt's last ever class with us ;( he's leaving us to get a full time job with defence!! he's now a public servant, so me, chris and sean made a lovely program that opened up a text file like 200 times and then closed his explorer so he couldn't do anything anymore, and then the text file had our top 10 ways to get your boss fired so that you get promoted.... it was such a touching moment... the list is right here:
BOSS FIREING TIPS:
1. Claim they harrassed you
2. Claim they sexualy harrassed you
3. Claim they abused their children
4. Plant drugs on them
5. Nuke them
6. Start a fight and lose and say they beat you up
7. Ninja's
8. Take photo's of them doing illegal things
9. Make a false account in the kaymen islands and claim they were stealing
10. Tell authoritys that they are an illegal immagrant and get them deported
there were alot of grammatical issues because sean wrote the list....big mistake (they're in bold)
and then my mouse broke, well the story is that last lesson some stupid kids were in here and they messed up my computer, primarily my mouse, and so it moved really weird like... like i don't know what they did but it felt different. so we had to fix it. STORY OVER!!!
and now me and chris are trying to fix our xlgames.awardspace.com (which you should all go to) because the URL's link terribly and its really annoying... and sean as usual has done nothing.
anyway have a good one

HAPPY 100TH POST AGAIN!?!?!?!?
HAPPY 100TH POST AGAIN!?!?!?!?
there's been a bit of controversy over when the 100th post has actually occured!!! becuase in our dashboard it tells us how many posts we've written which it currently says is 107 however if you look down the right of this page you'll see our archive and it says that this is actually the 100th post, so whichever you believe we have finally reached the milestone!!!
i'm currently in normal IT and what a lesson it has been!! it was a double today and i was able to get the form i needed to create to register to our site and so now when they enter their data in incorrectly *required field pops up. The good thing about this website is that we actually have to go live so we've already got our subdomain name its..... http://xlgames.awardspace.com and currently my login page is there which no one can get past but if you want the username it's "sirnerdalot" and the password is "1234" however it's not working correctly so you'll still be denied and NO thats not my password in RL (real life)! chris hasn't had as much luck as me because he's been trying to set up a FTP server using dreamweaver and we can't connect to it.... sean finished his logo in photoshop and it looks pretty snazy.... does anyone use that word anymore?? oh well i'm a trend setter??
currently everyone is crowding around mr cruwys look at VNC which lets him looks at peoples computers on his own computer and they're all looking at me write my blog and its really annoying because they can't read my blog before i post it, its unfair.... i haven't proofread it yet!!!
anyway the bells about to go

POWER!!!
hello all,
we're in DM IT now and we're discussing seans trip to the nuclear power plant yesterday, he's trying to show us the 'plane shredder' a cage of titanium steel or something that if a plane flies into it gets shredded along with everyone inside.... it supposedly looks like this:

its pretty cool. i also reminisced thunderbirds, a really old show that was like really popular in the old country (england) back when i was a little child and the episode when the baddies try to cause a nucleur meltdown and so the thunderbirds have to come and save the day!!! wow those were good times! I also quizzed sean on the features of this plant.... like wether they get to see the uranium, or hold the uranium, play with the rod thingys, or get to slide down the side of the chimmney like in the simpsons, unfortunately he didn't get to do either of those and so i think that he got ripped off because why else would you want to go to a nucleur powerplant??? that was pretty much all i did this lesson.... yet again another productive lesson!!

Planning......
hello all,
the DM IT assignments are a go!! we have finally started the assignments after the last 4 weeks of stupid planning so now i get to start.... planning :( Yes, i still have to draw some data flow diagrams for my assignment so todays lesson was a bore again. sean looks like he did nothing all lesson except from play with his phone and to look up how many people have downloaded firefox 3. We both also had to start our "journal" (i'm writing a blog) on what we do each lesson for mr cruwys which is really wierd, because i'm so used to writing these that to write a blog for only one person is really wierd, but its a private blog so none of you will be able to read it!!

"XL Games", we're not sure why we called it that but thats now our name. chris is just posting one of the possible logos for the website but its still in its beta stage.
wow... i just realised i haven't posted since wednesday... so much has happened... well actually the only thing thats happened was that during dm on friday me and sean tried to make a list of all the banned things on the internet, you know like "Gaming" and "Personal network storage" we got a pretty long list before mr cruwys found out... anyway we were trying to find one like emo or something so we googled "death" and the third one on the list was just what we wanted.... it was blocked for "Gruesome Content" and "Art/Culture/Heritage"??? WHAT?? why is something blocked for being art or culture or even heritage??? like your looking up something for history or something and then you hit this rejection page... suddenly a teacher walks up behind you and shouts.... WHAT? LOOKING UP YOUR HERITAGE??? HOW DARE YOU?!?!?! Thats like the worst block ever... anyway he's the complete list....

7 pages? pffff
hello everyone,
it's DM IT again, our third for the week it's our last lesson of the day and we're all looking forward to the day off tomorrow... thats right, no school!! except for the year 11's that have AST practice... awwww poor things. yes tomorrow is moderation day and so we get the day off but unfortunately I have this stupid IT thing due and so I don't know if i'll have time to go out or just to stay home do IT in front of the olympics.
anyway back to this lesson, we got to really annoy dylan (a year 11) about his uniform and how it was terrible like his top button was undone and so we pestered him until he did it up... his excuse was that it was "choking" him.... he looks perfectly fine to me. me and sean yet again did some good work maybe its because neither of us want to do this tomorrow he's claiming he's done 7 pages but on further investigation all that he's written is only like a page but he's spread it our tons, like i've done 11.
that was the bell so we'll talk to you all on friday

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY TO US
HAPPY 100th POST EVERYONE!!!!
wow.... what an honour... to write the 100th post.
we've come a long way since our pilot blog where you first met us, i've been reminiscing on what our early posts were and how much we've changed since then, here are some highlights:
the first comic, and the cruwys stories written by reece... also with 1GomezB and all those different pictures of vodka cruwysers and cruwysmissiles... ahhh good times. so we've finally reached the first really big milestone. I am surprised that it took us so long but here it is number 100. unfortunately it's only dm so only me and sean can celebrate but we have normal later this afternoon where i'm sure we'll have some sort of party.
anyway, as i said earlier we're currently in dm, and for like the first lesson this year we've actually done solid work from beginning to end... it's quite a unique feeling but then i have to write this so i guess it's only sean thats done work from beginning to end. so other than the 100th post excitment nothing else has happened. We marvelled at the new smiths gravy flavoured chips that supposidly hamish and andy thought up, like what is with the hamish and andy craze?? like now they seem to be on like every radio station and tv show, i remember when they were a bit more unknown.... those were good days, especially with hamish on spicks and specks... classic.
anyway i should stop reminiscing. and i have officially ran out of things to say. hmmmm... i still have 7 minutes of class left, must.... think....of.....something....to.....write.....about
i just had a brainstorming session with sean on what i can talk about next and we're both stumpted... its kinda depressing that on the 100th post nothing interesting actually happened, oh well....
have a good one

WINNERS!?!?!?!
hello all,
it's a new week here at school and we have IT second up. I guess i should start off by sumarising Robocup from last friday. There were a couple of minor hick-ups even before we started well when i say minor... everyone from mackillop forgot to bring their code!! so i was nominated to take up the challenge of re-writing our teams code so unfortunately it wasn't the most flawless code... however by the time i was finished rathesh had succesfully stolen a password and got into the wireless network at the ANU and so they emailed their teams code through, but i thought that my newly written code was probably better than the old code of which i did during last lesson! luckily the other two teams we had to play agaisnt weren't ready so they delayed the start until 12. Up first were some practice matches, and the first match of the day was between the two mackillop teams of which cruwysmissile came through with a win! However it kind of went downhill from there...... and by the end of the day we came stone cold last....
But it wasn't our fault!! To be fair to us the ref was the teacher of the little primary school kids and was ridiculously baist towards them, it could have been due to the fact that mackillop has won the last 8 years and he probably didn't want us to win again and so he was unfair in his judgements of goals etc. even mr cruwys and the ethinicty team agree. however mackillop still rein as champions because rahul's team won and so we must be humble in defeat..... (they must have cheated).
So it was a bit of a depressing day and i doubt we'll live down the fact that we lost to 10 year olds.... depressing.
So today it's back to work with our proposal due on friday and so we have a heap to write for that and not very long and in normal IT we have to start our websites, it's me, chris and sean in a group and we're unsure of what we'll do it on. but anyway i'm going to go now

orals part 2
word up y'all,
i'm currently sitting through rahul's orals on advanced CSS, he's trying to explain relative positioning but making me bored in the process. my random name selector is working brilliantly!! unfortunately blogspot doesn't allow you to upload folders and so i would upload it to a file sharing webpage but their all blocked by the school.... stupid schools blocking useful websites.
ryan's up now, he's talking about image slicing using photoshop and image maps in dreamweaver, he's about 3.5 minutes into his ridiculously small oral time of 5 minutes, like for me i had to explain so much (i was doing submitting forms using javascript) and i only had 5 minutes, like submitting isn't easy for these people and i have to explain it in an easy to understand way... it was so hard to fit it all in.
oh and tomorrow is robocup so the whole cruwysmissile team (except reece) will be away, so you might get a blog but that'd be from reece and will most likely be completely random but we'll be back on monday to tell you how we did and wether we actually were able to beat the primary school kids.
anyway i'm going to go now
have a good one

PRIMARY SCHOOL????
hey,
today we only have dm IT, and as usual we did nothing!!! it's robocup on friday and we are disorganised so i've had to code our striker during dm instead, so that should be working now, although i haven't been able to test it which is always REALLY bad because the robots are stupid and need ridiculous amounts of debugging. but we checked how many teams are entering this year and there's only three..... team ethnicity, us (cruwysmissile) and a "holy spirit primary school".... PRIMARY SCHOOL!!!! what??? thats no competition. so now really it's us against ethinicity and we'll probably choke because thats what we always do.....
oh and last lesson just after i wrote my blog, i found out that google street view was released!!! how cool, so we spent the whole lesson looking at wierd places and having a competition to find the first person we actually know on google maps... it's pretty fun but look here... you can see the doors on the google car.... http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wanniassa&ie=UTF8&ll=-35.399842,149.098849&spn=0.008518,0.013733&z=16&layer=c&cbll=-35.404106,149.098043&panoid=AiJEpV24C2Bj75VY-S--Aw&cbp=1,135.00025779228576,,0,61.07421259864332

today we only have dm IT, and as usual we did nothing!!! it's robocup on friday and we are disorganised so i've had to code our striker during dm instead, so that should be working now, although i haven't been able to test it which is always REALLY bad because the robots are stupid and need ridiculous amounts of debugging. but we checked how many teams are entering this year and there's only three..... team ethnicity, us (cruwysmissile) and a "holy spirit primary school".... PRIMARY SCHOOL!!!! what??? thats no competition. so now really it's us against ethinicity and we'll probably choke because thats what we always do.....
oh and last lesson just after i wrote my blog, i found out that google street view was released!!! how cool, so we spent the whole lesson looking at wierd places and having a competition to find the first person we actually know on google maps... it's pretty fun but look here... you can see the doors on the google car.... http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wanniassa&ie=UTF8&ll=-35.399842,149.098849&spn=0.008518,0.013733&z=16&layer=c&cbll=-35.404106,149.098043&panoid=AiJEpV24C2Bj75VY-S--Aw&cbp=1,135.00025779228576,,0,61.07421259864332

orals...
hello all,
i'm currently in normal IT sitting through some orals, i just had mine on entering data using javascript and i thought it went pretty well, we only got 5 minutes to do it in which was REALLY annoying because i had so much to say and so i went just under a minute over the 5 minutes set so i'll probably lose 2 marks. rory's is up now, he's doing it on CSS menus. i finished my program that randomises peoples names and it is working seamlessly, even though it kinda backfired and chose me first...... oh well i'm glad its out of the way.
not many people turned up to class, because of the maths comp we only have 8 people in class and so we'll most likely go through everyone here this lesson which is really good because it means it shouldn't take us to long.
also i thought i'd might add that we have reached our 1000 visit, even though our counter doesn't measure unique visits but every visit, so someone could just sit there and refresh and pump up the number lots, oh well i think 1000 is way over what we expected to get.
anyway i'd better go
have a good one

mountains
hello all,
i'm currently in DM IT with the sean waiting for the class to end. today we didn't really do anything , i kinda outlined my database for our major assignment and what i want it to look like and sean just did nothing.... as usual, well really he did do some work but then i told him to put a mountain right in the middle of his map for UT and then he couldn't delete it so he had to close without saving anything and couldn't be bothered to keep going. The orals start today in normal IT coming up in third period but most people won't be there because they've been given a choice between orals and maths comp and most have gone with maths.... nerds. and then its the awards ceremony 4th and the leader of the liberal party in canberra is coming in to try to win some votes from the year 12's.... YAY!!!! anyway the bell went like five minutes ago so bye!!!

5 days.......
hello all,
we're in normal IT today after a long week that's just gone. So i think i'll sumarise the last week. On Wednesday through to Friday we were on our year 12 'retreat' or camp and so we couldn't use a computer for 3 whole days!!!! i felt so uninformed of all the IT happenings on the internet, my google reader was up to 200 unread items... however retreat was good, we had lots of fun... although we didn't really do anything, but it was nice to spend time with friends except from at every meeting they said "this is the beginning of the end for you all" as if we hadn't realised, its really annoying because i don't want to be constantly reminded that school is almost over. We really didn't get much sleep as well and on saturday it was chris's 18th and so we got even less sleep and you should all wish chris happy birthday......
i have to start a new paragraph because earlier chris was complaining that my blogs are too hard to read because they're all one big chunk of writing and that i need to split it up more, so this is for you chris...
and then on sunday a (3/4 (me the responsible driver)) hung-over team cruwyzilla all went into school to code our robots for robocup, they've completely changed the board this year which is REALLY annoying, because it means we can't just use the same code as last year, they're making us actually do work.... damn robocup officials. so we had to spend all sunday writing our code and we still haven't finished although we do have a pretty sweet goalie.
anyway back to this lesson, we have our orals this week and cruwys being his sad self decided to create a program that randomly selects a student to do their oral, he decided he was WAY to cool for a plain old hat. so he built this pretty cool project but it wasn't up to my standards and so i've been beefing it up lots; like it now reads the list of names from a text file and then saves who has already been chosen once you close the program, and to kind of select random people whilst "deciding" (even though it already has) so that it builds suspense, it's pretty cool. and chris is looking on, which is kinda stupid considering our orals are due TODAY, and he hasn't even started... poor chris, i hope he gets chosen first.... maybe i'll rig the program??? anyway i'd better be going, i have to polish my program and i'll see if i can upload .exe's onto here... if i can then i'll put it up
