GSoC, WordPress and ME!
So I have been accepted onto GSoC for another year!
This year I am working on a Bugtracker, using WordPress as a base, probably working on top of WordPress 3, need to discuss this with my mentor, but I’ve not been well the last couple of days, which was hell for the Station Manager Presentations (well done to @RichLegate btw), and thus I didn’t go to Plasa, tho I am feeling better now 🙂 Hurrah!
Handed in my coursework/dissertation this afternoon!
Now just a Motion Graphics video to finish, and a essay to write.
Not forgetting a dissertation presentation….. Fun
Its Crunch Time
So this week is going to be one of the busiest weeks, I will have had in a long time.
Finishing touches to my Project 2 Project: http://360gaming.net/, deployed that last Monday, just need to finish testing the game tracker/ranking system and thats all done.
Thats due on Wednesday! Crikey.
It’s also Leeds University Unions@LeedsUniUnion, Celebrate Week, where LUU celebrates its member led Societies, culminating in The Riley’s, an awards ceremony!
LSRfm.com (@LSRfm_com) is up for 3 awards:
- Best Publicity
- Best Event, for Big Tidy Up, (live coverage from Rich Legates House)
- Best Society
So, its always good to be nominated, since the nominations are Crowd Sourced from LUU Members.
I’m also a second time nominee for LUU Lifetime Achievement award, (nominated three years ago when they thought I was leaving).
I’m also working a hell of a lot this week.
- Metropolis on Thursday
- Fruity (Hollywood) on Friday
- Live at Leeds on Saturday all day!
- Damnation on Sunday all day!
Which then takes us to Monday 3rd of May, which is May Day Bank Holiday. Which means the union is closed, so LSRfm.com is broadcasting from my House for the day.
It’s the day of Halo Reach’s Beta toooooo! Hurrah!
Should be good fun, hopefully it will be Sunny too!
That then takes us to next week, with a double deadline for motion graphics and New Media Strategies and Futures on the 6th of May.
Then thats it the end of my degree…. Shit….
Oh and today I find out if I am doing GSoC 2010 (Google Summer of Code)
And tomorrow is The LSRfm.com Station Manager Job Presentations and Interviews, which I have applied for.
And tomorrow and Wednesday is PLASA Leeds, an Events Trade Show and mini conference, which should be good to make some industry contacts and see whats going on, in the World of Live events….
Its gonna be messy!
Motion Graphics Audio Sourcing
Some YouTube Audio Sourcing
Just been doing a quick hunt for audio, whilst I finish my story board for my motion graphics project, and I’m going with some audio from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
First YouTube result, was interesting, since apart from containing the audio I was after, its a Adobe After Effects CS3 remake of the opening.
Comparing that to the original, its quite a faithful reproduction…
Anyway back to finishing my storyboard, but given that both of these is a minute long, or so, still need a further 2 minutes of audio….
Then again I might change the order of elements, since I am making a advert for firefox or chrome (I can’t remember which one I put in my brief, so should probably dig that out…. and check).
Anywho in other news, my other project is coming along nicely, the new games module for 360gaming [dot] net, now gathers data from Xbox.com and Wikipedia. All thru async. jQuery.
WIll be posting about that another time.
Long Time Since I blogged
A General Update….
Again, its been a while. Things have been pretty busy.
Currently I just fixed the LSRfm.com Podcasts, they were downloading a minute or two of audio the PHP was dying, FAST CGI php5 was being ghey.
So after a quick chat with Dreamhost over live chat, my script now rather than munch the file, just passes it off to a http location, less of a memory muncher too.
SRAchart is its usual self, tho we did get a full house of Charts last week, (well near enough), Ellie Goulding and Owl City are dominating, and Glee Started Charting too.
(Yes I am a Glee Fan)
Handed in the Motion Graphics Brief.
So Uni Wise I just need to sit down and code code code, both for Project 2 (ala 360gaming.net enhancements), and start planning and researching what I need for project 2.
And start writing an essay for Futures and Strategies, fun times.
I’ve not had any spare time to play Halo, tho the Reach Beta has been announced! Hurrah!
Now I must get back to coding stuff for LSRfm.com fixed the Jukebox, now to do the music db, tho I do have a nice IRC bot sat in the new LSRfm.com Chatbox
Also <3 jQuery....
