Youtube Videos

So after recording a series of "let's play" youtube videos for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for PC, I've got about 9 or 10 left to upload onto youtube. As for the next game to do, I've still got a lot of Aquanox videos to do; I have one of those videos to upload. I've also started a flash game called Papa Louie which I started a while back - I have two videos for that.

I was wondering what to do for the next load of uploads - the next HP game, Drome Racers or something else? They'd all be on PC, send any ideas to me on twitter - @Jim_Leeder or comment on this post.

Friday Uni Modules

So I do two other completely different modules on Fridays. These are Web Design and E-Business.

Web Design teaches us HTML5, CSS3 and PHP, as well as a bit of AJAX. We learnt XHTML and CSS last year, so we just have to quickly learn the differences between XHTML and HTML5, and CSS and CSS3. But I don't think there are many. The first bit of assesment seems easy enough as we just have to make a page look like the given image using CSS, which is harder than it looks. But its still good. Web Design is the sort of thing UI want to work in after uni ideally. Otherwise its working for a business in IT.

E-Business looks like we have to team up in pairs and create a blog for the food industry. I don't know what to do for it yet properly but I know we have to make an e-commerce site. Ideally I'll do this in Wordpress rather than Blogger as it'll give more options, but there may be something different we need to use.
