LiveZeit Online Organizer

Harry Jennerway — Wed, 09 May 2007 09:36:09 +0000

I haven't had much tome to post recently, because most of my time has been taken up with developing LiveZeit, an online organizer. It's similar to google calendar, only better.

LiveZeit offers loads of features, including recurring events, multiple users, your own subdomain, themes, AJAX and much more. I'm looking for testers at the moment, so if you're looking for an online task manager and you want to contribute, please sign up at the link below.

Vote for Chester!

Chester’s one of the cities being considered to be the center of the new version of Monopoly, die for release next year. With a bit of luck, my street will be one of the properties and my house will suddenly double in price!

MySpace Idiots and HTML

Harry Jennerway — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:40:37 +0000

Why is it that MySpace is such a breeding ground for Emos and idiots with nothing better to do? I have a friend, let's call her Jo. Jo spends hours in front of her computer, but instead of doing something productive with her time like learning a language or making wallpapers in Photoshop, she arses around on Myspace. That's fine, if Jo wants to waste her time 'networking' on MySpace that's her problem, but what makes her think she can lecture ME about HTML.

Just a tip Jo, if you don't know what HTML stands for, you probably shouldn't be giving tips about how to nest tags correctly so the damn page validates! For starters, you need a closing tag for every tag you open. You can't just open paragraph after paragraph to put blank lines between sections of text with such a blatant disregard for valid HTML! Secondly, if you want that picture of you dressed as a hooker for Red Nose Day to actually show up on your page, you need to actually upload it. Dragging the picture from your desktop and dropping it on a text box just won't do.

I know everyone has to start somewhere, but I really hope I wasn't such an arsehole when I was a newbie.

Happy Birthday To Me

Today's my 19th, and that's what was waiting for me in my inbox this morning. One more year of being a teenager, then I'm officially middle aged.

My life so far

Lots has happened in the last six months. I've gone from working part time in a DIY store to University, looked around for another job and eventually ended up back at the same DIY store. I went to Uni to do German and Russian, but after a few weeks I already knew I didn't want to work with languages at the end of the course, so I was only doing it to say "I have a degree" when I got a job. I carried on with it for three months until Christmas, then decided it wasn't for me and to go for Computer Science. I don't know why I wanted to do a languages course in the first place to be honest, I got a 486 when I was 9 and I've always been into programming. I couldn't pick the Computer Science course up after four months, so I had to re-apply to start in September 2007. Since there's not a lot else to do when you're not in full time education, I started looking for a job in the middle of January. After applying to every cafe and retail store I could find, I eventually got an interview and an offer from Subway.

I thought it would be great – making sandwiches and serving coffee in a laid back cafe all day, but the reality was nothing like that. Even though I didn't think so when I left, compared to Subway, my first job was pretty damn good. For an 8 hour shift in Subway, you get half an hour unpaid break compared to half an hour paid and another hour unpaid in the DIY store. The pay's better, the holidays are better and working in a sandwich shop means you can't enjoy a sub because you're eating it for dinner every day.

So I'm here six months after starting Uni, having had a bad experience at Uni due to the people I got thrown in with, four grand in debt having to wait another six months to start University again. Ah well, the money I make working the next six months should just about cover the cost of going in the first place…

A-Level results

Harry Jennerway — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 10:45:09 +0000

I got the results of the A-Levels I've been doing for the last two years today. I needed BBC to get into university, with a B in German. I got A in IT, A in German, C in DT: Resistant Materials and a D in Physics. I gave up on Physics last year, so I wasn't really expecting to pass. Hopefully I should be starting uni in the middle of September to study German and Russian.
