thoughts & updates

Hey y'all,

It has been a while since we've updated.. So I thought I'd do a quick update before getting back to my storyboard sketches, which is due tomorrow afternoon.

I can't wait to see Starry Night in the iPhone just as much as you guys!!! But I reckon it's going to take me a while to get the hang of the iPhone SDK since I've got school work to worry about as well. Fear not though, I will put in lots of time on this project once I am done with the semester in.. erm... 13 weeks.

That of course doesn't mean I won't be doing anything to contribute along side with school work.. But the only thing I can do for the group right now is to get the hang of the basics of iPhone SDK. We need to finalize the game play ideas along with learning the specific technical bits of the programming (i.e. tilting the phone for balance).

Meanwhile, I plan to start looking up on the button thing, since I will be working on majority of the visual interface. I was actually going to start on the instruction page layout but realize we haven't finalize game play ideas, so I can't work on that just yet.

Umm... Okay, I don't know how to end this properly but .. umm, I think I should get back to my work now. Will get back to y'all when I'm finished with it.

Later!

I've been making separate profile pages for each Klash members.. And I'm planning to use the above image on the main profile.html page and make them as links for our personal profile pages.

profile.html –> kula.html | lily.html | sandra.html | howard.html

Kula came up with these avatars in IDMP A for the OMMI website and I thought I'd re-use them for our current stuff since the little characters look kinda like us. :P

geo challenge

For the past few days, I've been trying to increase my score in Geo Challenge - a Facebook game by Playfish.

And this gives me some ideas for our next project.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

You guys should try it too!!!

soon!

I'm still a little exhausted from the long trip to Lakes Entrance...

But I'll get back to work/blog soon. Promise.

is it me? or is it the weather?

To be honest, I've been feeling a little more lethargic than usual. I'm kind of blaming it on the significantly cold weather. Today is the 2nd time this week I've woke up at 12pm+ thinking it's still 10am!!!

I think I'll update more later.

No POST

i must admit actually i been RSS this blog... where is everyone ?!?!?! seems like it died... what happen to the project now? keep me updated!!

story of the day + time line

I decided not to set the alarm clock for the morning before turning in last night... And I ended up WAKING AT 12.20PM!!!!!!!!!

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!

So I jumped out of bed, washed up and ate brunch with SF.

And then I got back to working on the design document and time line... Been working for about 2.5 hours now and it's nearly 5pm!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I will never NOT use the alarm clock ever again!!!!!!!!!!

:|

Anyways, here's a quick screen print of the draft time line. I'll send a copy to everyone's e-mail after posting this blog entry. Do take a look and get back to me immediately if there's anything you'd like to add or change. Speak your mind or forever hold your piece! >:|

some changes..

*sigh* I'm in the middle of solving some personal issues at the moment.. And am also thinking of ways to make our next project a successful one.

Hence, I think I'd suggest working on the Flash version of our website a couple of weeks later... Would that be okay with you guys? The html version should be done early next week and will be ready for upload - Mr. Professional Advisor, please teach us how!!! Oh wait, we need to get a host! So should I go ahead and look one that's reasonably priced?

I'm so sleepy.. You know, I was trying hard to fall asleep last night (morning?) at 4.30am.. The moment I closed my eyes, I saw hundreds of death gods (死神 - shinigami) running around... The whole scene was pretty chaotic.. :\ Maybe it has to do with the fact that I watch 7 - 8 episodes of Bleach per day. Haha.

@ work

rusty.

It's 1.28am right now and I am just staring blankly at Dreamweaver. It has been 3 months since I last touched dreamweaver and so I think I need a little bit of time to get back to it.

In the meanwhile, I'll just try to make a detailed checklist of stuff I need to do on DW.. And get ready to crawl under my soft and warm blanket... x)

Before I sign off, here's a random photo for you guys. And umm don't worry girls, this was taken when I tried the recipe for the very first time. The ones I'm bringing in tomorrow are better in terms of aesthetic and taste.

Butter biscuits/cookies.

le dimanche (sunday).

Responding to Re: thinkin' - Hehe don't worry Lily, I wasn't drunk - all I had was one of those Bailey's chocolate and I think sugar makes me work better sometimes. I know that sounded weird but fear not, I will eat them sparingly. :D Wowww hoookay I'm never getting myself drunk, ever! :O Haha anyways sounds good! We should definitely make a trip down to Uzu when Howard returns.. I should be enrolled in Monash by then so let me know when you guys come over to Caulfield!

I thought I'd (finally) bake some butter cookies for the meeting.. And I did! Will bring some of these in to the meeting tomorrow! :)

Earth Hour.


What did you guys do during Earth Hour yesterday? :) We spent half the time playing UNO and had a hard time distinguishing the blue cards from the green ones. :P

RE: thinkin'

I think it's great that you're posting everyday :) This blog isn't just about "business", haha.
Oh, but Sandra, don't drink too much! I can see you're a little drunk hehe.
A colleague of mine just recently bleached her hair blonde, and she was putting in bits of black, whilst she was drunk..
Lesson: Never dye ones hair whilst intoxicated.
She messed it up and had to dye it all black. *eek*
Anyways, though it's going to be a while until KLaSH will get to have their little reunion, I've got an idea. Lets go to that Japanese restaurant where I bought the takoyaki last time? Since, Howard missed out last time, we can take a little trip down there, all four of us ^^

thinkin'

Firstly, I hope I'm not spamming this blog by posting almost everyday here. :P In fact, I'm actually typing this a couple of minutes after having some milk chocolate filled with Bailey's. Heehee.

...I'm working on the profile sheet right now and I don't know what to write under the "about me" section.

Let's see...

"I am Sandra a.k.a. _pdra a.k.a. HDR* queen, and I'm the one that did most of the layout design and planning for this website, as well as the other websites that we're going to be doing."

Uhh.

"Hey y'all. I'm Sandra a.k.a. _pdra and I'm your everyday designer. I've got multiple personalities - like sometimes, I can be really quiet and weird and sometimes I can be fun-loving and hyper."

Nope.

"I'm a Southeast Asian who has been residing in Melbourne for a little over four years now. Most of the layout design and planning of this website were done by me.. And I'm also going to be doing loads of stuff like this for people who needs websites in future. Oh, and during my free time, I can be seen taking photos around Melbourne."

That's it! *light bulb on top of head* :D And I'd like to thank the bailey's milk chocolate for that. w00t!!!

done!!! well kinda.

It's 2.13am.... And I'm done with the general layout of our website!!! :):):)

And check your e-mails if you haven't already - I've attached screen prints and tell me what you think! :)

error###

I was looking at the privacy settings on assembla and tried to make our site private and this was what I got -

1 error prohibited this space from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

• Public permissions - You cannot select 'None' for public permissions until you upgrade this space to a Private/Professional subscription.

So I reckon we shouldn't link our assembla site into klashproductions.com ..

timeline's ready!

Feel free to download a copy from Assembla! We'll make changes to it this Friday if we need to.

Cheers!

History of KLaSH Productions

I was just sitting here thinking about how to write up the history of KLaSH Productions when it occurred to me that Howard could contribute by doing that part :) Sound good? Hehe. He IS still a part of KLaSH :D

what are we gonna have for tea break next meeting?

Mashed potatoes again? or something new?

I might try out this butter cookies recipe that I got from a blog... Anyways, we'll see. :)
