Time out

It is so damn hard to get back inot the study routine after a couple of days off. I am now battling with Security protocols as the exam is on Friday. My first two exams , Multimedia and OO Design went ok, multimedia better than OO but we'll have to wait and see. We have been assigned our demo dates , so I will be giving my demonstration on Aggrge8 on Friday 30th may to Brian Stone and Rory O'Conner which should be OK.

I am all set for OZ, now I have all my flights booked and paid for and travel insurance paid for, I have finally got my Digital Camera (which is super sweet- Pentax optio S), Booked Accomadation in Sydney for the first week to get settled, Got my shots against Typhoid and the likes ,loads of clothes purchased etc etc. I can't bloody wait…………. Phil Roche starts a new life in less than 3 weeks. wooohoooo.

Lack of posts

Sorry about the lack of posts folks but I am very busy with study for my finals.
I did find http://www.wikipedia.org though which is great and well worth a look. Wiki websites are on the up. I will however never make Philroche.net a Wiki website as frankly my mates would destroy it.
Wiki website is a website where anybody can edit the page's content.

Jerry Maguire

I took a break form my Docs writing for a few hours today to watch Jerry maguire on TV3, That film is the ultimate in feel-good movies… If you're feeling down , give it a go, I guarantee it will give you a lift.

Aggreg8 version 0.0.1 released

Finally after alot of work Aggrge8 has it first release Version 0.0.1 http://www.aggreg8.net/Download/download.php. Documentation is to follow over the next week. Please install Agreg8 and let me know if you have any problems. Use bugzilla too please http://aggreg8.mozdev.org/bugs.html.

Aggreg8 will of course only work on a Mozilla based browser:
Mozilla, version 1.3 is a good option
Firebird, stable nightly build is sweet.

Test HTML Special Characters

Testing new Special Character handling ˆ á. It seems that XML does not like some characters so i have had to change these characters to their Hexadecimal equivalents. The most comprehensive list of HTML Characters I have found is http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm and http://www.unicode.org/charts/ .

I've added the What's a Weblog? link to the main page. This is a link to the Essay I wrote entitled “Weblogs What, How and Why?. “.

philPaddys day is coming up soon [March 17th for those that don't know], hence the flag. I hope y'all are ready for a weekend of severe binge drinking, come on!!!
