ENOUGH EDITING OF OTHERS' POSTS

Hey gang - let's keep to our own posts. And let's be nice to eachother. If there is any more uninvited or offending editing to the posts of others I'll ahve to restrict admin access - and that would suck.

So let's not suck.

Cool?

Cool.

Come on, kids, dare to resist! - Opinion from the SMH

I saw this and I thought, yep.

What do you think? Here's an excerpt but I recommend following th elink to the whol article.

B

Come on, kids, dare to resist - Opinion - www.smh.com.au: "This is a nation in which the blind are leading the bland. Our leaders would rather walk on all fours than look deep into the heart of our alliance with Washington and weigh up its true costs. This is perilous appeasement. We do not sign the Kyoto agreement, we do not take issue with the excesses in Iraq, we do not condemn the assassination of a quadriplegic cleric who could swiftly have been put on trial.

So, exactly what is it that we stand for?

Booze, porn, shopping, celebrities and spectator sport, as far as can be discerned by community habits. The American dream in our backyard barbecues, rap on the airwaves, ever more fluttering flags. 'Hey dude' is replacing 'g'day mate'. While there are signs of passive dissent, as in Indy Media, Koori radio, the Greens and the popularity of Michael Moore, the overall impression is one of glazed acquiescence to the project that drives the West. Lubricating our lifestyle from the oil and the sweat of the developing world, lending funds to its governments on harsh terms and selling its people our leftovers. This would go on suiting the bland and the blinded until the cows come home, until WalMart colonises the moon, except for one sad fact - still disputed by the White House - that the Earth is in trouble. Each new scientific report is gloomier than the last - melting glaciers, dying coral, disappearing species, rising oceans. In the judgement of experts, as well as in a report commissioned by the Pentagon, wild weather poses a threat worse than terrorism.

Even before it hits Earth, climate change is due to hit the big screen. It's called The Day After Tomorrow, a Hollywood disaster movie where the hero rides off into the last sunset seen by humans. In the real world some are working at the front lines to postpone this future. But most of my Xer mates will see it first in the front stalls of their Harvey Norman home cinema."

thanks dave.

u still want that policeman discount?

or would u like to be demoted to mere peon?

you are not worthy of the chocolate strawberry jubillee.

Hey hey! Assignment 2!!!

That's right kids: AV Online (EEET 5206)

Assignment 2, part B: Advanced website

Worth: 50% of total semester mark
Due: Last class, Wk 12, (of May 17)

Description

The aim of Assignment 2 is to give you a feel – and the practical experience of - for the various steps in the making of a website: planning, preparation, production and publication. It’s also a chance for you to refine your skills, now that you’ve had a go at creating your own website.

For this website, don’t feel you have to throw in everything we’ve learned. Instead, pick your tools with care and use them to make a good impression.

• The website should consist of at least 4 pages.
• Include your name and student number on a cover or splash page.
• Include a link to your email address – preformatted subject line.
• Include graphics (within a .5 meg limit unless you’re doing a gallery).
• Use of advanced features such as framesets and rollover images is encouraged but not required.
• The website must be uploaded to the Internet and we’ll go through them in the final class.
• Include a page (either linked to the site or not) that briefly discusses ways in which you felt you achieved or failed to achieve your design goals. – this can be your Intro page – or not.
• Before you submit your assignment, get someone to test your website for errors. Ask them for a paragraph of written feedback, and include this in the above page. Discuss what changes, if any, you made to your website as a result of this feedback.
• Check your website on both a Mac-based browser and a PC-based browser and tweak your site to make sure that it looks the same in both.

Requirements

Please note that you will be heavily penalised for not following these requirements.

• The entire website cannot be more than .5 meg in size (Unless it’s a gallery of images – in which case do your best to keep it small – but make sure the quality doesn’t suffer). Pick and resize your graphics carefully. Optimise appropriately.
• The main page must be called index.htm
• None of the file or folder names can contain spaces – use ‘_’ or ‘-‘ instead.
• All links must work. Test your website before submitting it.

Submitting your assignment

After completing your assignment, upload it to your personal space – either your own internet provvider, Geocities, another free web host OR use the one made available through this class. I’d also like a copy on disk or zipped via email as a backup and a local for me to view. Please leave the site untouched until you’ve received your marks (either in person or by email).

Assessment criteria

• Written expression and depth of analysis
• Adherence to original brief
• Demonstrated familiarity with Dreamweaver functions
• Functionality of links, graphics, etc.
• Successful uploading to the Internet
• Clarity of design
• Appropriateness of design for purpose/audience
• Thought and detail behind and in design
• Control of text elements – positioning.
• Accessibility (eg labelling of graphics (ALT TEXT), titling the page)

Wheee!
