Sorry to hear about your wonderful upcoming weekend... lol.

Today,
I just got home, been up the beach in the dark with some mates...
I needed to clear my mind, me and a mate are drifting apart and it seems like theres nothing i can do,..
Maybe we need to fall apart to realise how much we need each other, or maybe i'm just really optimistic lol:huh:

Good night though .

 

[Chase]

Today I am going to San Francisco...

I guess we're going to go to some event called the Bluegrass Festival...

Then we'll go the CSUSF to party with some other college kids.

Watched:

A Nightmare On Elm Street (Remake; it sucked)
The Last Airbender (It was decent)
Killers (It was decent)


Finished GTA IV (FINALLY). I completed it once, but over 30 hours.
So, I had to go through it AGAIN. Beat it in 19 hours. So, now I just have to get 100%.

I'm also about to work on an MV/AMV/MMV of some sort. I just need a song to use, and a subject.

Got rained on, and i was out in shorts and tee lool

Today there is not much work at the office being a Sunday. BTW, its 1:50 AM IST as I post..

 

[Chase]

Just got back from the bay area.

So Chase, how was your trip? You say you just got back, but tell us nothing about how it went or whether you had a good time or anything exciting that happened or post any interesting photos you took or anything. You got us all excited about going and this is all you're going to say about it. C'mon - give us some details. Certainly you must have some entertaining stories to tell about what happened.

For me, "today" started at 3:30AM my time (Eastern US time) - I just couldn't sleep any more. Things seem very quiet - hardly any activity here (I suppose this isn't a very active time for our membership - it's even still a bit early in the UK). In the meantime, I'm going through the forums looking for threads with no replies that aren't so ancient that they are essentially dead by now to see if a bit of research (none of them are easy or someone would have already answered) can help me provide some sort of answer (or perhaps even an educated guess or generic option to see if the Thread Starter is still interested) or at least some questions to ask to try to learn more about the problem to be able to then be able to give a better reply or spark some interest from others. I hate seeing posts with no replies. Somehow it seems like we're dropping the ball.

Once it gets to a reasonable hour, I have to get back my car ($800 for a fuel pump and relay!) - but at least they offer free pickup at your home to the service station so I don't need a taxi. Then I need to find a way to get my "dead" camper off my property (nobody I know has a vehicle with a hitch and the donation companies all use flatbed trucks and refuse to drive across my yard to get to the camper - and it weighs 3000 lbs. so I'm not about to drag it to the driveway even with a few people to help) - so far the best bet seems to be the county though they charge $91 to do it but they're required to do it so at least it will get done (but I haven't given up hope on getting it done for free yet). Then besides posting here, I think I'll do some computer maintenance - image backup, cleanup, malware scans, checking event viewer, and the like. Otherwise, my day seems like it might be clear at this point. We'll see how things go as it progresses.

lol.

Yeah, I was planning on writing a little more about it, but was extremely tired last night. Well, we actually did not do as much as we had planned on... I stayed in a dorm room with four girls at San Francisco State University. Saturday night, we went out to some big apartment buidling, and went to a party with some of the college students. Sunday, we did nothing but stay in the dorm all day and watch "Jersey Shore"... lol, mostly due to being hung over. Then we got ready to head back to Monterey on Sunday. We stopped in Oakland to see one of my friends and the have a little tour of his new house. Pretty much the highlights of my weekend were being right next to the Oakland stadium while the Raiders were playing; even though they lost... and moreover, eating Arby's; which is exclusively in the bay area (and not to mention, delicious!) Hence, my weekend wasn't exactly as I had expected it to turn out... but I actually had a lot of fun, and got to see a great campus at San Francisco State University... I may consider going there instead of San Jose State... who knows.

There is a Quick way on the forum for that if you haven't noticed but if you Click Search and then unanswered Threads it will bring up all the Unanswered threads with the most recent First

Hope This Helps,

Today,
Not alot really, rain, sun, rain, cloudy :huh:
Made some sorta pop-up card thing in Graphic Products today, its supposed to be a chicken from the film, Chicken Run

Also, yesterday i had a mate round to help me price up for our shed, so far, its at about £450 for just the tongue and groove wood, but thats nearly all of it. It's a 7FT X 12FT, and we already have one, that cost us about £850 - £900, so if its cheaper than that, i'm gunna do it

Thinking about starting to build my own website.

I have already owned the domain for about a year... (chasekurry.com)

I just know next to nothing about building a website.

Any suggestions on where to start? Or some good tutorials or sources for me to learn from?

I got my domain name through godaddy.com and have started to look at some of their tut's...


Basically I just want to link all my social network stuff: myspace, facebook, twitter, etc... and have a sort of a online resume, included in my website...

I wanted to do something like that aswell...
At my school we use Dreamweaver and Frontpage to do mock-up websites in IT, none of them have actually gone online, but i think it would be easy to get them online since you have the domain name already.

When we did it in frontpage we was told to make an invisible 2x3 table up the top of the page for titles and other things like that, and then work from there

The easiest way to do it is with a program that's designed to create websites - though my site is currently down so I can't show you, I did it with no training by just following the directions and help with the software. Smurfyy mentioned two products (you can't get Frontpage anymore as far as I know as it was replaced by Expressions with Office 2007 (or now separately available) - though I still have Frontpage from Office 2003), but both are costly (hundreds of dollars). Expressions is also very costly ($599 for the full package, $149 for what will serve your purposes) - but you can download a free 60 day trial of either - get the full package as it offers more and is the same free trial deal and doesn't matter later if you decide to buy the lesser one (and perhaps another after that if you use another ID and another PC ): Studio Ultimate Product Trial | Studio Web Professional Product Trial | Encoder Download | Microsoft® Expression®. In that time, you could probably have it done and then use free tools to make any minor adjustments you want (or even major ones if you get the right tools or spend the time and perhaps learn some HTML coding which isn't required but can help with the tools listed above).

Also, check out the company hosting the website (godaddy.com) or maybe your ISP - they often offer website building tools and tutorials and such as a free service (you mentioned godaddy had something like that available). I have Verizon and they have a pretty good product for customers (sorry, you can't get at it unless you're a customer) but nowhere near as good as the Microsoft products I've used.

Again, these tools don't actually teach you how to do it (though the ones from the website hosting service might do so for the products they provide), but at least the Microsoft ones I've used are so straightforward (and you can always check out their support sites and forums/newsgroups) that it almost isn't required. Later, when you use other products (if you don't purchase), you may need some assistance. I'd just recommend a good book on HTML (design itself depends too much on the tools you use to be of anything but generic help) and the documentation that comes with whatever tools you decide to use.

You will need instructions from the web hosting company on how to upload your created site to the hosting server and then how to access it to make changes (but they should have that either posted already as a FAQ or have it readily available - though you will need to talk to them about your specific account for passwords and locations and such).

I hope this helps. Since the Microsoft trials are only for 60 days, don't download them until you are ready to start so you have time to finish before they expire. Also consider that once they expire, you won't be able to use the saved copy of your site in that program's format as you won't be able to access it and will need to use some other means to download what is on the site to make changes to it. It should be possible to do so without the Microsoft program - I don't think it includes anything that prevents you from making changes without using that program (at least Frontpage doesn't though I don't know about Expressions).

Good luck!

Firstly you can use a Domains Templates ormake your own, I would recommend making your own but it is up to you

If you want to make your own then you may need to learn HTML and CSS Coding which is very easy to learn

See HTML Tutorial For more information on HTML

And see CSS Tutorial For more information on CSS

HTML Is then main body of the Wedsite coding and CSS Is the designing and Decorative part they will work in Unison to make a Complete website

Also when making HTML I would recommend using Notepad ++ Instead of Notepad this will make it more neat and tidy when making your website

See Notepad++ | 5.8.1 For more Information

If you need any more information then Please ask

Many Thanks,
Josh
