Got myself

go have a look and let me know what you think
the address is

NickpHayden

and if you need some work let me know and hopefully we can work something out

What happened?

okay so i haven’t posted something for like 5-6 days now which is pretty uncool of me so i thought i would just make a quick press and let ya’ll know whats happening

so ive been at tafe now for like 4-5 weeks and i’m absolutely loving it, it was definitely one of the better choices i’ve made.

I’ve also been working on some portfolio designs for myself which you can see here and here they are both hosted on a free domain over at 000webhosting
hopefully i’ll get some money together soon and then ill be able to actually host a site.

I’ve also began looking at some wordpress theme development which is a bit exciting, im kind of still trying to get my head around it at the moment because its all pretty new to me, its more so understanding how the php works and why its used instead of html and how to integrate the two of them.

At TAFE i’ve been doing lot’s of different stuff about web design and development, so far we have learnt about XHTML (both strict and transitional), FTP, web standards and currently i’m writing a report on web authoring tools and how they work and analyzing two programs and assessing their qualities.

I’ve been trying to teach myself a bit of php along the way as well and i kind of know about functions, loops and variables which seem to be a huge part of the language. So hopefully soon ill find some free time to get a bit of that down.

I’m also currently looking for a new job, it’s not that bunnings is horrible its just that i want to get closer to IT and web design, so yeah if anyone knows of any part time jobs in Adelaide let me know

In other news, Fallout:NV is coming out pretty soon which looks soooo awesome and i’m real stoked for that one. I think i’ll probably grab him off of Play-Asia because its a good $40 cheaper than in Adelaide.

I turned 18 back in July and I’ve been going out a fair bit since then and it has been a pretty good time out, although i did get glassed one night but thats not really a huge deal. I also got a new car (VS Commodore) and its going really well, i did have a bit of trouble with him at the start but now that im driving him around a bit more and had a mechanic have a look at him he seems to be going much better.

I havnt been riding as much as i would like to but thats alright because i plan on bmx-ing a lot more in the next few weeks before work picks up too much, I’ve been going downhilling a fair bit lately and even though it isnt my preferred sport it is still pretty fun.

So thats my update this time, and just a quick bit of info that I probably wont be posting as much on here, but i am going to try and write more about myself like the above rather than just repost stuff i find in my RSS.

Thanks for reading

Nick.

Update about Me

Hi everyone,

just thought I’d write a bit about whats going on in my life at the moment and where the blog is going and just have a bit of a debrief

So the blog has been doing really well in the last few months and I’ve gotten over 600 views per month for the last two months and I’ve been averaging about 22 views a day which is far more than I ever thought I would get. Now I know that some of these views are spam and don’t count but I know that I’m still getting legit views every day

Now I also know that I dont write much content and that’s definitely my bad so the people that scope this blog out are pretty much getting the usual articles and videos from other more popular sites.

I hope to write more content soon but since I’ve just started TAFE it doesn’t look likely although I will try.

While we’re talking about TAFE I may as well mention that I’ve started up there doing my Cert IV in Websites and when I finish that I’ll be doing a Diploma in Website Development, hopefully these courses will get me going in the right direction for a career as a web programmer.

So know I’ll talk a bit about whats going on with me personally…my car died which is pretty lame, so hopefully I can pick up a new one soon which won’t be too expensive.

Another thing that I’ve been doing in my spare time is developing a portfolio site that I am going to work on as I go along with my course and eventually my career have a look over at Nick Hayden Design and if someone wants to give me a trial run on some projects don’t be afraid to send some mail to me.

Back to the blog – No one comments on any of the posts except for the occasional random post, now I know this is probably because I don’t have any original content and I accept that but, I would like to know what people want to see on this blog so in the comments below don’t be scared to chuck up your opinion and let me know if you want more BMX, web design/dev, tech news, game reviews or what ever.

Also

Send your friends a link to this blog…just for fun

Thanks heaps for reading this far down.
