Cruwysing through I.T.

Goodbye everyone

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:50:00 +0000

wow... this is it!!!!

what might well be my last ever post on cruwysing through IT..... epic!!

I'm not actually not in class whilst i write this, i'm currently at home avoiding doing my dm IT assignment that is due today, and I saw that Chris posted at item and I thought that that was a good idea.

First of all i'd like to apologise for being slack and stopping writing these blogs, unfortunately classes became really busy and I just never found time to do it. So to all my faithful readers (if I actually had any) i'm very sorry but you'll get over it :P

Secondly I might just summarise the last term :P Well as you all may know in normal IT we all got to do whatever we liked for the assignment, I choose to make Tetris for the iPhone, Chris and sean made a game using games factory and reece and ryan created a flash game. This assignment is due today and most people I assume finished it.... I didn't. I have a pretty good reason; a) it was ridiculously hard b) I didn't have an iMac so I couldn't work on it at home. But still I'm pretty impressed with what I made!

Finally as this is my last post I'm going to thank a few people. First of all Mr Cruwys.... the best teacher ever :P He has put up with all of Sean and my crap, like writing a blog everyday and never doing work. He has always been there whenever we need to ask a question and he always seemed to know the answer (google), and has been great fun to talk to over the last three years. He has totally been the best teacher and I personally will miss him heaps *teary* :P

A big thanks goes out to my fellow classmates; especially sean and chris who always seem to put with me blurting out random sentences and expecting them to answer them, they have been a great help throughout IT and also amazing friends! Also to my other classmates that sit near me, Ryan, Reece, Josh, Rory, Ratesh, Justin and Rahul you've all been great!

As well as this I thank Sam for not blocking blogger :P this totally wouldn't have been possible without you :P

And finally I thank Google. For providing us with all the answers in the word right at my doorstep!

Well this is it... thanks all for reading its been heaps of fun, I know i've enjoyed it!

have a good one

Petey

The hack

noreply@blogger.com (El Seano) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:50:00 +0000

hey HEY hey,

Well its friday, and we haven't made a journal since last friday, peter didn't end up getting me sex like everyone voted he should, instead he and chris got me Soul Calibur 4 which is equally as awesome.

Our assignments in DM are coming along nicely peter's layout looks pretty snazy, everyone is fairly impressed by it, and i have completed the inside and outside of my house, now i need to merge the two.
Normal IT is also coming along swimmingly, my beta version of my game is done and its not too bad, chris' game is far superior but we all expected as much, rory has a very Sarah Rees excuse on the losing of his USB and now need to start again. Lastly and peters IT assignment so far he has made some text scroll down a page, he did some really difficult coding to do it (copy & paste).

Not a great deal has happened this week, the continuence of the lunch time hack is about all thats happened, the group is actually starting to get pretty nice skills.

Well last weekend my party was a huge success everyone had a great time (especially rory), some cool presents i got were, a punching bag, 100 banana's, a knife, Soul Calibur 4, and fable 2 which i got the day before yesterday. ITS FRIGGIN' SCHWEET.

Well that about does it for me,
peace out y'all

Suprise

noreply@blogger.com (El Seano) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:57:00 +0000

wah wah wee waa,
Well this is in first period and we had my suprise party i was completly(completely) unaware of it went for about 30 seconds, which was enough time to have a drink of solo and eat a singular lolly that rahul brought. Reece and Aaron left their classes to make an appearance and realised that nothing was happening when they got here, so stole some of peter's drink and left.

On the note of the real work for the lesson, i got a(my) USB back so i could do work, but ... the computer keeps getting a general protection fault with the graphics card so all the work i do is useless so i need to change the graphics settings to be able to do anything next lesson.

Peter helped rahul with his normal it(I.T.) project and pointed out the fact he programs like Mr. De Rooy because he keep's trying to make objects in run time and wasting his life on bad programming.

Ryan also joined us for this lesson and continued on his normal I.T. as"SPACE"well and the realisation that he is using the same sprites as Anthony used last year in his flash project, coincidence? I think not.

Well i'm out of Goss except my birthday party is on tonight and everyone is invited, except those who aren't.

Cheers, Sean.
(P.S. the red highlights are the mistakes peter wanted to point out)

Sean's birthday

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:01:00 +0000

big news!!! wait it isn't really

it's seans birthday in two days and so we are going to have a suprise party for him... shhhhh don't tell him. so you should all wish him happy birthday... he also set up a poll on what you'll give him for his birthday i recommend that if you have like a huge mortgage or something then you give him the everything you own and then he'll pay it off for you.... free of charge!!!

have a good one

"went to hell"

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:53:00 +0000

Here I am... duh duh, duh duh duh.... rock you like a hurricane
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Here I am... duh duh, duh duh duh... rock you like a hurricane

argh... its been stuck in my head all lesson!!! stupid sean.
yes we're back, school is back and we're in dm IT... well its the second day back, i was going to write one yesterday but i coudn't think of anything to write about... it was really annoying, maybe it was because sean was away or something..... but he's back now so we're all ok!

today in class sean managed to do nothing all lesson, supposedly his USB "went to hell"... sounds like a sarah rees excuse to me, so he just sat around looking up random things.
oh and its october the 14th today and do you know what that means??? the new macbook pro from apple!!!!!!!!! how exciting!! so the announcement is like in 10 hours and its going to be the best ever!

sean spoke of his experiences in bathurst today... like why would you waste an entire weekend watching cars when you could instead be sitting at home playing computer games... like TF2 and guitar hero. i dunno... weirdo

anyways i'm going to go now

have a good one

hello all,

i keep trying to write my blog but whenever i start the bell goes so i have to give up... it's really annoying!!! and as i wrote that rahul just came over and ordered me to show him my GUI poker from last semester so now i have even less time to write this!! So the normal IT assignment is over!! It was due on thursday (we had friday off (mackillop day)) and one of the parts of the assignment is to get it live, which is convienient for all of you because then you can see our assignments... however only two groups did this.... me, chris and sean's group with our xlgames.awardspace.com and rory, reece and josh's but they won't give me their URL, but you can all marvel at our amazing website anyway. So the new assignment for normal IT is to do whatever we like!... so that means that now i can do whatever in both IT classes... i decided to create an application for the iPhone... chris and sean are yet to decide still and reece is creating a flash game. Mr cruwys is in his funeral attire again today... with his black shirt and black tie... oh and he also got to stand up in front of assembly today!!! he was announcing the robocup results to the whole school but it was good because he didn't mention our abismal failure :( and rahul and his team is going to Perth this friday to go to the nationals which is very exciting for them.... and kinda depressing for us. Anyway the bell just went

have a good one

11 hours to go!

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:55:00 +0000

hello all,

i'm in DM IT and yet again i haven't posted for a while, sorry about that it's been a bit busy but today in class me and sean have done some solid work so i got bored and decided to blog!!

So i've been counting down all lesson until midnight tonight when the apple conference is on in San Francisco where they will announce, the new iPod nano, iPod touch storage upgrades, iTunes 8 and the iPhone 2.1 upgrade!!! it's going to be so good and theres only 11 hours and 3 minutes to go!

I'd also like to admit to everyone today that i have folded..... i caved under the pressure of boredom on sunday night and i finally got a facebook account. I've decided to give it a clean slate as i started and try to forget everything i've ever said about it so you should all go find me and add me as friends :P

anyway the bells about to go

have a good one

MY Turn

noreply@blogger.com (rubyks) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:58:00 +0000

Yay I get to write the blog this lesson. Um. I didn't do any work today. Because Sean hasn't finished the layout.

It's ok, I don't need glasses.

WORDS.

That is all.

-Chris

chris?? glasses??

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:01:00 +0000

hello all,

reece has been buggin me to post here for a while now but i haven't been able to because the stupid computer admin here thinks its a good joke to disable my internet.... but it's ok because he's my brother and i can insult him and not get in trouble..... as well as this i haven't had a DM class since last friday because of the stupid AST that happned this week.

today me and sean marvelled at reece's handy work with his Iron cruwys picture, we reckon that the two pictures down the bottom left are definately the best. As well as this we discussed where chris is, supposedly according to sean he's at some eye place to see if he needs glasses but then i don't believe him because it's sean and i can see him telling me that just to see me go and talk to chris about it and then he'll be like wtf and i'll be embarrassed and then sean'll laugh at me. so i have a bit of a dilemma, wait i just wrote it here so he could read about it here and then laugh at me then.... but chris with glasses would be pretty funny, i just can't imagine him with glasses it'd just be weird.

we also replaced cruwys with the bin when he left to go to his office.. why you need to know that i'm unsure.

anyway as you can see i ran out of things to say

have a good one

IRON CRUWYS

noreply@blogger.com (Tbopi) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:03:00 +0000

Iron Cruwys (original lyrics by Black Sabbath)

I am Iron Cruwys

Can he read people's mind?
He is awesome and enshrined
Can he fly at all?
When he moves, yeah, you will fall

Are you alive or dead?
He could've just crushed your little head
Dinosaurs see him there
Trying to get him, he doesn't care

He is strong as steel
For breakfast he eats a minefield
Don't you waste class time
Or he'll destroy all of mankind

Everyone wants him
So much they just hurled
He has so much brilliance
Powers that are untold

Now the time is here
For Reece to give him a cheer
He sometimes will shave
If you see then you'll be graved

Everyone wants him
So much they need to take meds
Everyone crowds him
Now he has his revenge

Dragons that aren't fed
Eats his victims, yum yum heads
Running as fast as they can
Iron Cruwys has come again!

Cruwys Pictures

helvetica

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:08:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 05:02:00 +0000

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!?!?!?!?

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:51:00 +0000

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

have a good one

POWER!!!

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:02:00 +0000

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!!

have a good one

Petey

Planning......

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:06:00 +0000

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!!
anyway the bell just went

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:10:00 +0000

hello all,

it's monday morning and normal IT!! as per usual nothing has happened... well we brainstormed what our name shall be for our website.... it is..... "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

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:07:00 +0000

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

have a good one

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY TO US

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:45:00 +0000

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!?!?!?!

noreply@blogger.com (sir nerdalot) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:21:00 +0000

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

have a good one
