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.

Another Short Break

I'll make this quick. Basically, I'm going on another short break, from Thursday to Wednesday, so don't expect any updates in that short period. I may write a new post on the Wednesday I'm back, on either CSSBytes, or here, but that is not definite. If you
are interested, I'll be going to Plymouth in that time. I'm not sure what I will do there, though. x3 So anyway, bye for now.

My Summer Holiday Goals

Yes, so I am back from my week's holiday Dorset, and it was very nice, in case you were wondering (although I doubt you were). On the way back, I thought that it might be a good idea to blog about my goals, or aspirations of things to do in my summer break. So... here they are:

• To continue blogging on here, and to finish telling you all about My Top Gaming Sites.


• Also, to continue blogging on my other blog, CSSBytes, and finish explaining about the body (HTML-wise), and what you can do with it.


• On Neopets, to raise a lot of funds, and get the Secret Laboratory Map, so I can zap my Neopets.


• As well as that, I want to get all four of my petpages on Neopets up and running, with something decent, instead of the plain old default oner, which is terribly boring.


• To read all of the last Harry Potter Book - Harry Potter and the Deahtly Hallows, as well as The Northern Lights, a book by Phillip Pullman. Both of them are great!


• But most of all, what I want to do more than anything, is enjoy my summer break! Now then, that is the end of my post, but expect many more updates coming soon!

Woohoo! Summer Holidays!

So, yes, if you have read the title yet, my summer holiday (or vacation) has finally started. After lost of weeks of hard work, I am finally rewarded with six weeks to relax, and do what I want. Even though it is a holiday, I will do my best to blog as much as I can. So expect My Top Gaming Sites to be finished by the end of the summer holidays. And that's a promise.

But, yes, there is a but, I won't be blogging on this blog, or CSSBytes, for the next week, because I am going to the lovely Dorset on holiday. Bye for now!

Wow...

I really hadn't noticed how long it has really been since a last posted (on this blog, not CSSBytes of course). And, as well as that, I don't really have much to say. I've been searching the internet for the next top gaming site. What could it possibly be? There are so many great ones out there. Post coming soon. Well, goodbye for now, I assume.




But... in case you haven't noticed, the blog has a new domain name! Now, it's the AllTheThingsILike blog, instead of that old, fairly ugly one. xP

My Top Gaming Sites - Egg2

Sorry I haven't been able to post much lately. I've just been wrestling with a bug on Wordpress, for CSSBytes, and generally haven't had much time to write this post. But anyway, it's here now, so enjoy:


Egg2, is the next featured gaming site. It does have quite a large variety of games, some of them my favourites. What's more, you don't have to click millions of links just to find one game, like you do on most other sites. On the other hand, the layout (especially the homepage) is pretty messy, and split up by adverts. Also, the site doesn't particularly inform you about whether they have added new games or not. So overall, it is a good site, but probably the worst out of these featured sites. Here are two games that particularly stand out for me:


Tanks:
Tanks. As you'd expect, it involves tanks. Basically, you can set up rounds with 2-5 Tanks, all armed with weapons, that are basically supposed to blow each other to bits. The Tanks are named by you, and given a colour by you. You can also decide whether any of the players are computer controlled or not. This game is really fun, and quite retro too. I have no violence, or anything like that to warn you about, except for animated explosions. This is a link to it. There is actually a second version of this game, but to be honest, all it has really done is add some nicer graphics.


Bug On a Wire
Here is another retro game, that is still fun to play. The idea is, that you play a bug, running across the wires on those communication pole things, somewhere very hot. You need to avoid crows, and anything that might try and eat you. This is a great game to consume some spare time that you have. And for some reason, it never seems to become tedious. Usually, I can only survive for up to a minute and a half or so, but others can survive for over and hour! Click here to try and beat my score. Have fun playing on Egg2!

CSSBytes...

Alright then. CSSBytes, I'll admit that sounds a bit random, maybe a bit puzzling and/or crazy, but nevertheless, it is the name of my new blog. Don't worry though, the log here is still here to stay. CSSBytes is something completely different. Basically, it is a blog which will give you advice and tips on CSS every post. It has only just started, so if you want to know about CSS (and a little about HTML), the things that make webpages, like my blog, then keep checking back at it! Here is the link to it: cssbytes.wordpress.com/. Remember to bookmark it, as well as this blog, and keep visiting both!

Catch-Up

Seeing as I haven't been able to post on the blog for a while, for reasons which I don't know, here is a brief summary of what I have been doing when not posting on the blog - i.e: a catch-up:


• Finally, I was able to code my own User Lookup. I am really proud of it, seeing as I did everything on it, even the background graphics. It might need a little more fine tweaking, but still, I'm happy with it. Click here to see it.


• I resigned as manager on itsagoal.com. :( I still have an account, and can get a new club any time I want, but not now. Unfortunately, it just lost its appeal to me after two seasons. I might be be back on it someday though...


• Hopefully, I can start up some petpages on Neopets soon. I am currently doing some coding on Dreamweaver. When it's finished, you'll see what it's all about.


• And last of all, I created a Flickr account. Flickr, in my opinion is a great sight, which is not just a image hosting site. It has much more, so click here to sign up. Here is some of my art which I have put on it:







Yes, I know it is a bit of a dodgy name, but still. I just like it. If you don't know what it is, then I will tell you. it is a Pokémon Trainer's Card. I think that they are really neat. A great tutorial for making them is here. (All sprites on the image from: www.pokemonelite2000.com/). Well, g'bye for now, I'll try to post more often now.

Oh... wait!

Just after I posted, something has happened. Okay, so it's a random topic but, it is actually quite interesting... and scary. The wind is gusting like mad. The lampposts outside are wobbling, and I'm sure trees may have fallen down. I went outside, and the wind nearly blew me away! How strong!? So umm... also, the blog has past the 30 posts mark. Yay!

Ugh...

Well... literally, since the last time I posted, only one thing has happened to me. But it isn't interesting at all. Homework, and lots of it. Nothing is happening apart from a now endless supply of it, and this means I have no time to play on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, so the review is being delayed. :( Well, hopefully things will get better....

Finally!

Woohoo! It's finally over. My school term's over and it's the christmas holidays once again! I've been keeping up with the advent calendar too. I've been having a great run on itsagoal.com too. Now my team is 13th (my team is called J United), although 13 is an unlucky number, so that is a bit ominous... Anyways, I'll be sorting out labels for the blog, so.. yeah. See ya.
