Photoblogging

Last week the Web blogs class decided to spend half the lesson going around the college taking pictures of anything college related, but we were not allowed to take pictures of the people in the college, so a few of us were split into different groups because there want enough cameras for everyone....there was about 5 different groups and here and some of my favorite pictures out of the lot.

Hardware Lab

Last week in the Hardware lab we opened up the computers and found out the different parts of the computer.

We found the-

-Motherboard

-RAM

-Hard Drive

-Floppy Drive

-CD-Drive

-Fan

We also learned how to set your hard drive as a Master or Slave which is something i didnt really know how to do before. I knew alot of this stuff before anyway because i used to open up my old computer to replace parts and to fix somethings a few times, but atleast now i have more of an understanding about it now.

An Interview with Guy Fawkes

My task was to interview a historical figuire so i chose to interview the infamous Guy Fawkes. He was known for attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliment which would displace the prostestants rule buy killing King James I of England and the entire Protestant aristocracy, but his attempt was well known and we celebrate the 5th of November as Guy Fawkes night.

So Mr. Fawkes, When is your birthday?

Guy Fawkes: on 13th April 1570 in Stonegate, York.

Any brothers or sisters?

Guy Fawkes: My older sister Anne, was born on 3rd October 1568 who died seven weeks later. Apart from that i have two younger sisters , Anne (born 12th October 1572) and Elizabeth (born 27th May1575).

Ah ok, So were you part of a group when you decided to try and blow up Parliment?

Guy Fawkes: I was apart of a group called Roman Catholic Recusants who wanted to get rid of the protestants rule.

What did you do before you decided to blow up parlement?

Guy Fawkes: In 1592, i sold my dads house that i inherited. In 1593, i was a footman for the 2nd Viscount Montague, I enlisted in the army of Archduke Albert of Austria in the Netherlands and fought with the armies of Catholic Spain against the Protestant United Provinces in the Dutch Revolt.

So is that how you learned about explosives?

Guy Fawkes: Yes, thats why i chosen by the group and i was placed in charge of executing the plot because of my military and explosives experience.

Well thats all from Guy Fawkes now thank you for your time.

There are many books that explain the story of Guy Fawkes attempt of blowing up parlement and V for Vandetta is sort of like a tribute to Guy Fawkes but in modern day times, they all have good meaning to them so its worht watching or reading.

Enchanted Forest

Page 8

Your Pirate Ship crashes into the side of some rocks, you climb off the boat to find yourself lost in the darkness of the forest. You walk down the creepy path and hear little screeches or evil.
You slowly draw out your sword that the pirate of the ship gave you....You come to a massive gate just standing there in the middle of the dark forest but you turn round and come face to face with the Evil Circus Monkeys, All four of them surround you as you stand ready. The tall gate suddenly opens.


Do you, Run from the Evil Circus Monkeys through the tall gate?

or

Do you, Stay and fight the Evil Circus Monkeys with your sword from the Pirate?

Saw IV Review

Review!

Saw IV

Director-Darren Lynn Bousman

Genre-Crime/Horror/Thriller

Released-26th October 2007

Went to see SAW IV the day of its release, the movie in my opinion was pretty good, alot of stuff was shown in a short space of time, if the movie was given alot more suspence then it would be possibly a 3 hour long + movie. I dont want to spoil the movie for those who have not seen it yet but there was alot of stuff from all other SAW movies thrown into the mix and it just explains alot of things about the past and how Jigsaws work got started. I had a prediction about the movie and i was wrong about it but its important to keep following the movie all the way through and think fast about who you see even though there is flashes of the past, so no toilet breaks through the movie or else you will miss everything, i will be buying this movie again when its released and keep building my collection of SAW movies, now all there is to do is wait for SAW V to be released, so thats another year...but as Jigsaw said..."You think it is over when it has only just began"

Holidaze....

What did i do?

The Thursday before the holidays i was so happy when i left because it was the first time i had a break in so long....then i get a call from work....and i'm working friday, saturday and sunday....dammit!! but got that out of the way and now it was time to rest. I dont even know what i've been up to but the holidays are almost over!!! what the hell!!!
All i remember was spending time with the girlfriend and beer oh yeh and South Africa beating England at rugby, not a fan of rubgy and also dont care who wins just thought i'd point out i watched the game,why not eh?

Now i guess since theres only Friday left and then working weekend i guess i actually need to have a break but need to see what work i need to catch up on for college.

See ya'll soon!

Who am i?

This is...Michael Pitt

I am Michael Pitt, Born in Aberdeen Scotland on 17th of July 1989. I am doing a NC Computing Course in Aberdeen College, It is going pretty well so far, the work is easy enough to follow along with the people in the class. A bit crazy but who isnt nowadays. I chose this course because this was the first course i thought about doing for a while next to do music and i decided to do this instead of music just because i havent been taught much about music in secondary school. My hopes and fears for the next coming years are...well i guess we just have to wait and find out what is behind the corner before we say anything.

My long term goals in life is to be just happy with what i am doing and not feel like i'm struggling with life, make it laid back and easy. I'm not too bothered if i'm stuck in Aberdeen for the rest of my life aslong as i can be happy. For the short time goals is basicly just keep my music/guitar work going and not giving up, not saying i'm going to be a big rockstar! aslong as i can have fun with music thats all that matters and i have my mates who i have fun with when playing music.

Well we've established that one of my hobbies is guitar, I own a ESP F-50 guitar hopefully upgrading to a F-250 oncei have the cash, also own an Ibanez EX which i recently bought but needs to be repaired (thats gonna cost me!!!!!)

I'm also a big fan of movies, i have a big collection at home.Anything from Stand up comedy to horrors are brilliant. zombie movies are amazing aswell as movies like Pulp Fiction, Blade, Hot Fuzz and so on.

I do have other interests like Chinese/Japanese art, i have a few samauri swords at home which people think is just weird but i think it just looks cool sitting there on the table at home.
