U.O.Sunderland: Another Year's Begining

Now, now, I'll be entering 2nd year with a twinning program of Mechanical Engineering under University of Sunderland. The subjects to be studied will be much tougher as said. But, for me, how tough it will be, I'll try my best to take it all in to my head... Ouch!

I never had a real planning when I 1st join in for the 1st year degree program. So, this is what I plan for my 2nd year.

1. Ban myself from playing PC / MMO games
2. Visit campus library more often
3. Read more articles about the world (maybe Times mag.)
4. Give in x2 effort in studies and make early preparation
5. Improve in writing by writing more blog post

Oh well, i've been trying out time scheduling since I was studying at Curtin, Sarawak campus but wasn't really effective for me since I rarely follow my time schedule. Oh gosh.. any recommendations?

Life just sucks if I just stay the same. : /

My Blog: Amateur Design

As the title said, my blog have to be redesigned. After viewing G-inXane for many times, new ideas comes in but the thing is, how do you code it? I had a history of learning HTML codes since 2004/2005. I learned it myself and with MS FrontPage, I did quite a few own webpages and uploaded it to Geocities. I bet those pages are long gone since Geocities does delete inactive account and now Geocities free user account is close.

HTML isn't sufficient to create a good looking side. HTML is like learning basic modern maths, DHTML is like high school modern maths and come CSS is most suitable to be described as additional maths. I was playing around with CSS codes awhile ago until i managed the third column for G-inXane. After helping my dear old school friend to create her personal web page for her assignment purpose, using CSS coding for the page layout gave me more confident in learning more about CSS coding.

Above page was built using Kompozer (Freeware)

Of course my friend's web page wasn't build by my own coding since CSS codes are readily coded and displayed as templates for beginners to use. As long as you are able to understand the codes, it'll be easy for you to spot errors when you are editing them.

But before proceeding into the next stage. I have to know what topic is interesting for readers and being inspired of it. Basically, of course blogs are mainly to write about your life style, news, scientific topics etc. etc. but it'll be worthless if you write something which Gizmodo had already written right? Well, that'll be decided by the future me.



Without change, there will be no improvement.
