Hejsan!

This week was really stressful. I had a few bugs in our game which I tried to fix. I managed to fix them at the end, but it was a really tough ride. Especially, because nobody could help me, because I made the code so complex that only I could understand it. On Thursday we presented the game and it was a big success. We presented it on friday too to people from the branch, but I couldn't be there, because I flew to Germany to visit my family.

I had a little bit of trouble with programming the game. I learn Actionscript 3 and classes, but it doesn't seem to work that well with Arduino, but I think I'll be able to fix everything until next Thursday.

Me and my group decided this week what we are going to do in this module.
First we experimented a little bit with the Arduino and then we decided to build a game with a boxing-bag.
When you are hitting the bag, different sounds are played depending on how hard you hitted it or how weak.
If we have enough time we might even make a highscore list and add some statistics.
I'm looking really forward to this project, because it will be probably mostly me who will program the game because I'm the only one who can handle Flash.

A new module started this week which is called "experience technology".
Our group got the Arduino-board to work with and I'm very happy about that, because I think this'll give us a lot of opportunities. I even made a little application for it, but the group decided not to use it because the sensors were too expensive and they were not convinced of it. I'll have to decide what to do instead on the weekend.

This week was pretty much like last week. I thought a lot about my portfolio and learned to handle Illustrator more efficient and professional.

We had some interesting workshops and speeches this week, but else just time to work on our Portfolio and think about it. There really isn't much to tell you about it.

The day started with a introduction of 3D in After Effects. After lunch learned we a little bit about the integration of Flash and After Effects. We got a group assignment afterwards where we should animate the sound channel of this clip:

This took me until 1 am. I'll have to finish the rest tomorrow.

What I've learned today:
I should use Illustrator more often. It's a nice thing.

Today was a more After Effects based workshop.
I ate fish again today, but this time I cooked it a little bit longer and it wasn't that disgusting anymore.
I also got an assignemnt which says I have to make a clip with After Effects about nature.
This is the result: www.t-low.biz/bugger.avi
The biggest problem was the "th" in "this is STV nature".

What I've learned today:
Cook the fish on a lower degree for a longer time.

We started the day with the presentation of our guidelines. The Digital Media-class from last year showed us the presentation of the last years IAD-class. It can be viewed here:

We had a workshop on flash afterwards. In the beginning it was pretty boring because I knew already everything, but later the more experienced users joined a more advanced workshop on flash.
I also started eating fish (salmon) today. I will eat it one salmonfilet everyday untill friday. I think I cooked it the wrong way. It was disgusting!

What I've learned today:
Some flashy stuff.
Undercooked fish makes me puke.

Today was the last day before the presentation of our work. We had nobody visiting us so we could concentrate entirely on our presentation.

Ted Persson from Great Works visited us today. I think he did the best presentation visually yet. He really watched a lot for details and I'm sure he worked some hours on pictures he showed us for a few seconds.
I was really sick, when I got up, but when I was in school it was acceptible. I drank a lot of tea because  of my sore throat.


What I've learned today:

Tea makes you pee.

Jonathan Biggs talked to us today. The stuff he told us was very interesting. In the break someone told me, that he said 145 times "okay?" in not even one hour. It was really hard not to wait for his "okay?"'s and listen to what he had to say instead.

What I've learned today:
The inside is more important, but the package can be pretty irritating.

Our group has had a meeting with Roger today and we talked about our group-behaviour. It was really interesting and I took alot of inspiration from it. I think our group will work more efficiently afterwards.

What I've learned today:
I may have some dictator-like-tendencies.

Katarina Graffman from inculture tought us about Sociology.
We learned , that you can read a lot about a person from his refrigerator, so this is mine:


I went to a different store to look for the shoes, but found even better ones!

What I've learned today:
Look at the refrigerator.

It was unbelievable hard to get out of bed this morning. I was tooo tired. Maja energised me with a Dextro and I could do some work.


After lunch was a workshop with People from Delhaize. I think they tried to profit from our young spirit and unbounded creativity.
I went to the store again today and they didn't have the shoes I wanted in my size. That sucks.

What I've learned today:
You give and you get

We kept on with our group-work until 10. Then Paul Collins from Akestam.Holst held a very interesting presetation about new ways of advertising.

We had some great ideas for our presentation after lunch. After our meeting I got a lot of information about austrian web-agencies and called one of them. When I got home I played too much Uno with a friend so that I came late to store to buy shoes. It was already closed.

What I've learned today:
First things first or you stand in front of closed doors

I had a lot of trouble with my internet today. After 1,5 hours of trying it finally worked. When i came home it didn't work at my place. Then I went back to Hyper and got it to work. When I returned home it wasn't working again. I went back again and it worked at Hyper nearly immediatly. I skyped until my batteries were empty and took a tip back home. There I got it finally to work.


What i've learned today:
Without my internet I'm pretty much lost.
Stuff about IP-adresses and that I have to use a specific one at home...

Love
Nicolai
