''This page, and all files linked to it, are used part of my CCT assingment. This page is so I can see what things look like before I upload them onto, my main page.'' Hello peeps, Well my name is Matt Astley, and this is my blog that i'll be using of the 12 weeks of the CCT module.

About Me
Ok, about me (if your interested, if not :. Well, like I said, my name is matt. I like alot of things, I love listening to music, and I always have my iPod with me (its more important to me than my phone :D). I play a lot of games, especially World of Warcraft. I'm a bit addicted to World of warcraft (but I can stop at anytime I want, ... I just choose not to :P), and I play a lvl70 Gnome Mage. So if theres anyone who plays WoW too, come say Hi (/wave). So, ...erm ...what else do I do? I love reading, and enjoy a good murder story. Since passing my driving test, I love going out in my car and going for a drive somewhere (My parents brought me a TomTom of xmas so I cant get lost anymore). I'm really good on computers (but Bob seems to think that everyone is bad, and only he knows how to use one, no-one else... (I've failed now ive said that, have'nt I Bob? NVM :S), and would like to become an IT Teacher oneday, hopefully. But if I win the lottery, then its good bye England and horrible weather, and hello sunshine in the states. Or I might go Canada im not sure. A couple of years ago, I flew across to Canada on my own to visit my cousin who was staying there for a year. We had a great time, and my god we did alot of walking. I was glad when I got home and could sleep in my own bed again. I love traveling and going to different places. I like watching films, Tim Burton is my favirote director and I love all his films. Exept his version of Planet of the Apes, I liked it all the way up till the end. I did'nt like the ending, I thought that leo (Mark wahlberg) should of stayed either with Ari (Helena Bonham Carter) or Daena (Estella Warren). But apart from this film, I like everything he's done :D. I currently work at morrisons, and I hate every minite of it.

Anyway, thats enough about me, so onto the main blog (/Bye)

Hi, well this is the first entry on this "blog" (apart from what i've just written above :P). I'll try to keep updating this blog over the weeks to show what I've learnt :D

So, lets get started with the blog. Well after listening to Bob talk for an hour about the course and Wiki's (/Yawn), we started working on our own wiki's :). So, with this being my first entry, dont expect it to be brilliant XD. Hopefully, as the weeks go on, and I learn a few more things, this blog will be come a wee bit better. Bob, went around the room taking photos of everyone (very scary :S) which we have to put onto here, but I dont think so... Because we have to upload a photo, i'll upload my own when I get chance.

OMG!!! I've just seen the photo that Bob has taken of me and my god its bad! So you wont see that photo, plus I "accidently" deleted it so you wont be able to see it now anyway :P

Hi. Ok, well done to me for making a second entry :D. Cause we dont have access to the Triki pages at home, im having to write everything up into Notepad first, then when I get to uni on monday, I can just copy everything over to my page. Ah, good old Notepad. Well, I've been messing around with Wikipedia and WoWwiki (look links :D) this morning and i've learnt a bit from it. I learnt how to put an image onto here yesterday, but I did'nt put one up cause, I did'nt have any good photos of me at the time. I Still dont have any good photos, but I decided to put of a photo of my WoW character Jarry up. So, enjoy! Ive added a bit for to the "About Me" section, and added the photo, but I wont know if any of things if written will show properly until I put it onto the Triki on monday.

I wonder if anyone else has written another entry yet? Probably not. Im probably the only one sad enough to do this on the weekends, eveyone else is probably only going to add one entry once a week when we have the tutorial :S Never Mind

Anyway, i'm still writting this in Notepad atm, so i'm not sure what this will look like until I upload it tomorrow, so I might need to do a bit of fiddling with it, but i'm not sure yet.

Well, I went on World of Warcraft for bit last night after work, and I found an NPC in there which said something which made me smile. I took a screen shot of it, so I could show you. It something I could imagine Bob saying :P, so, here it is. I've written the tag to insert an image, but i'll have to upload it tomorrow :D I've just found on wikimedia a page where you can test your page out (heres the link). So, i've tried my page and it looks ok. The image tags have place an image onto the page, but cause i've not uploaded the actual image file yet, it just shows a blank picture. But from what i've seen everything looks ok.

The Weekend was pretty boring, I was at work for the most of it :(, but what can you do, at least I earned a bit of money from it (Well... I hope I earned something, they better pay me). I've copied everything I wrote over the weekend onto my page, and it seems to have worked :D. Well I best head off, this was only a quick update, Ive got QTC next, and my God it is boring :(. Anyway, BB Peeps.

Well, I've decided to upload my "blog onto wikipedia, so I can test things with it and see if things work, before I upload them onto the uni Triki. So atm i'm currently writting this on wikipedia, not notepad like i've been doing before :(. I've put everything onto my user page, so I dont think it should be as easy to find as other articles. I dont mind if other people see it, cause once CCT is over i'll take it off wikipedia. Anyway, the link to the wiki version of this is here.

Anyway, thats enough from me. BB^^

Ok, so what have I done today, well. I've been "listening" to Bob explain about what sound is and about the ear. It was fairly interesting. When he started talking about being in school and your science teacher gets the "sound machine" out and see if anyone can here really high frequency sounds. I remember doing that. I also remember that it took nearly half an hour for our teacher to get the machine working. It was cause he hadn't turned on the plug ^^. Silly teacher. If theres one thing that i've learnt from my physics teacher, its that physics only works in theory and never in practice. Cause when ever he tried to show us something, It usually never worked :D.

Anyway. Once Bob had finished talking, we started using Audacity. From that we started messing around with sound files and changing them. The only problem was the sound files were of a very annoying (obversly american) man. And the only way to improve the "noise" he was making was to mute him :P.

Anyway, i'll try to upload the sound files that I made, but acording to bob, we wont be able to do that to next week :(. BB Peeps
