Remember This?




Well, do you? Of course you do! It's the GMail: A Behind the Scenes Video of course! Read the post just linked, if you don't remember. And, on the video above, if you haven't watched it, are all of the winners of the competition. There were some great little clips there, I thought, my favourite being the Lego one, or the one with the robot, which coincidentally was straight after it.

But there's more! Many, many people have submitted clips, hoping for it to get in the video. Unfortunately, they haven't. GMail, however, still allows you to see the clips that didn't quite make it. Have a look at the little flash thing, that looks like earth from a long way away, at the bottom of the page. Click here, by the way. That's all for now. Bye!

Summer Holiday Goals Results

Alas, my summer break has ended now, but, it isn't all bad news. At least, I hope that, for my sake. Is it always very hard to get back into your daily 'routine'? I can say that it definitely is for me. But anyway, here are the results of my summer holiday goals (ie: if I've completed them or not):

Blogging
Yes! This is one (well, two really) of my goals complete. What a great start. Here, I've finished blogging about My Top Gaming Sites, as you can see, if you've read those posts. Also, I've finished blogging about the body (in CSS and HTML terms), on CSSBytes. That's two out of six goals complete, already.

Neopets
This is the bad one for me. I have completed none of my goals for Neopets. I have managed to code about three of my four petpages on Neopets (just about), but that isn't really good enough. I got sidetracked making userlookups, so really it's only my fault. And, to add to that, I got nowhere near raising enough virtual funds for the Secret Lab Map.





Reading
This is a positive one. I read the Harry Potter book (the last of the series) with plenty of holiday time to spare. It was fairly sad seeing the series end, but, all great things do have to come to one. I also cut it a little late, but I finished the Northern Lights, by Philip Pullman. The plot was ruined for me, when 'sin', and all of those things came into it. Still, that's three out of six so far.

And Finally
I have enjoyed my holiday. Yes, I've done a lot of things which I enjoyed (and some which I haven't, but nothing's perfect). So that makes four out of six. Not the best score, but a good one nonetheless, and good enough for me.
