assessment post blog thingy to the power of 5

hello.
okay on with the task set for today, I am almost finished my animation, and since I have been doing it in inkscape, I have been saving each layer, frame if you will, as 0010, 0020, 0030 ect. during the development process. And my new frame rate is going to be 15/second, so in total I will have around 105 frames all together.
Some difficulties I have encounted were:
-trying to get the image to move (that was really hard)
-ummm, realising that creating a new layer, does not export it, you have to export every frame.
-deciding what colour to do
-how to create an actual animation
-trying to be original (didnt really work)
-remembering when it is due (friday 3rd April)
And yeahh, byeeeee


& The creation process which I followed was;
1. deciding whether to do it in gimp or inkscape.
2. Started animating it by making one movement and then exporting it to a folder in my 'f' drive (USB).
3. Saved the animation into a folder on my 'f' drive.
4. Put my animation into Gimp. I did this by opening the folder as layers and then Gimp opened them in the order which I had them saved.
5. Viewed the animation through Gimp
6. Failed at uploading my animation on blogger.
7. Uploaded my animation onto Photobucket.
9. From Photobucket transferred animation link into blogger.
10. Failed posting my animation several times.
11. Posted my animation

&& I would like to state that having a "Who is less competitive" competition is pointless. As trying to win at this will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose. Get what I mean ?

so i thought why not ?

It has come to my attention that someone has rated my blogs as lame. And I am not going to name this 'person' as I am not five. Yea. Okay, on to my next issue; I was reading people's blogs, and I noticed that for our assignment, we have to post about it, thats not the problem, the problem is that EVERYONE it titling them "assessment 1, assessment 2". I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does.
Now conserning my assignment, I have changed the whole running man/lepricorn/falling shamrock idea/ gimp/whatever else I changed. I am now going to use inkscape, as it is the easier option plus I've already finished it in inkscape. It is now a pacman theme, or should I say pacman ghost theme....oooooh scary.....
But yeah, I have also changed my frame rate, cause I want it to be really fast for the fact that jumpy flashing things really annoy me.
Byee for now, until tomorrow. Wait, do I even have class tomorrow? Yes, yes you do. Intersting, very intersting.
***Did I really need to tell you that I changed from gimp to inkscape? It's not like your going to actually know. I should of told you that, yeah I did it in gimp. And pretended that I am a master in computering things. But nooooo, I told the truth, and now telling you about the truth, for which I told you.....that's just sad.

hello michelle

Well, I was about to post a post, well I guess this would be that post, wouldn't it ? Anyways, my post that I was going to post about was going to be on roughly the same thing michelle posted. I find this rather annoying, and I am sure she would agree. Because in class when everyone is doing their work, we are spinning on chairs, or something equally pointless. And we both have rather interesting blogs, and I have noticed that the things she has posted, I was planning to post, and vice versa.
So the point of this blog, I am declaring that:
I sabine, challenge michelle to an "more cooler blogathon".
This is war.

Yawn.Okay I'm over it.
**Sorry that I'm complaining, that's just how I am...And if any of this is offencive, I am soo sorry.

Yeah, despite above, I am going to 'buy' a graphics tablet...YAY. *sarcasm intended.

Buying a Digital Camera
-You are going to buy a digital camera

So apparently I am going to buy a digital camera. I love how that sounds, "you are going to buy a digital camera." Wow. talk about getting straight to the point.
1. I want to buy a digital camera just for the sake of having a digital camera.
2. Well, my ideal camera should have a very good resolution, so no blurry "omg!! what does that say?? mehh, cant be bothered, I'll just google it."
3. I would say that the memory should be very available. As I am very clumsy, well you could say strange, but you get my point, very available.
4. Now I must find two camera's that suit my criteria...Okay, apparently I am meant to type all the information for my camera's....I don't think that is going to happen. So here is Camera:
a.http://www.harveynorman.com.au/products/index.php/computers/digital-cameras/olympus-mju1040-digital-camera-back-to-work-tabloid.html I think this one looks cooler plus it fits my very strict criteria, and it comes in red.
b.http://www.harveynorman.com.au/products/index.php/computers/digital-cameras/fuji-finepix-s1000fd-digital-camera.html This one looks more professional, and even though it is a bit more pricey, I think will be more worth it in the long run.
5. I think card readers will be very useful to my camera and myself as it is like a USB but for cameras. And USB's are very handy.

one reason

The reason why I went from gimp to inkscape was because mr lennon said that gimp was easier and for the sole reason that a majority of the tutorials are for inkscape. Inkscape supports SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc). It is very easy to edit nodes, perform path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. But I chose to save my files to a png, and the dimensions are 320x320. Even though I had to make them smaller.

it hurts you, but you love it

Year 9 Still to moving assessment task
Due Date: end of week 9 – submitted online
Weighting: 20%
Outcomes: The student
5.1.2 selects, maintains and appropriately uses hardware for a range of tasks
5.3.2 acquires and manipulates data and information in an ethical manner
5.5.2 communicates ideas, processes and solutions to a targeted audience

That is my IST assessment.
Since I have to choose a house banner thingy, I should choose coolock, as I am in coolock, but that ain't gonna happen. I choose, well I dont think anyone is going to choose coolock, so I guess I will have to.

&& Since this is my first post for this assessment, I am going to state that the software I will be attempting to do this in will be....GIMP!! I chose to do it in gimp because I personally think it will, in the final result, look better. Plus I can't figure out how to work inkscape.


Ohh my goshkons!!
I just saw the funniest thing in my life! Mr Lennon was showing us some of the old animations from previous years, there is one that like; a person falls through two contraptions and gets squashed, then the stick figure gets angry and throws a rock? at the contraptions and they get stuck!! as if that isn't funny.

p.s. this is an edit, it is now 7.15pm on the 11th march. You will never believe what happened today. Like 4 hours ago, someone stole my diary!! We were swimming at the morley centre, and someone took it. I have no idea why someone would take a diary, it has my name on it. Its not going to be very useful to the thief, unless they are in all my classes...actually no, it still wouldnt, cause I didnt write my homework in my diary, Its like what are you going to do now? call my home phone demanding a ransom, its a diary, I CAN get another. I seriously dont understand what one would achieve my taking my diary, especially since the odds are that the culprit has one themselves, as EVERYONE in the school was given one.
Yes, my rant is now over.......Adio, wli nanawalmezi (canadian)

**again, combination of posts.

bitter, yet so sweet


Once again, I am here to complain, and other things. First, today I seriously got 3 assessments!! That puts the total count up to.. wait, commerce...math...ist...JAPANESE...history. So thats 5 subjects, and to make the matter even funnier to people who dont have ANY assessments (and yes, I know who you are) They are all due in the next 2 weeks..except ist.

You may be thinking 2 weeks, 4 assessments, thats not that much. Well you're wrong, because japanese, is split into 4 different tasks, on 3 different days...Yeah I know, I got all the electivies where you get all the work. What fun. And it's not a cake without a cherryon top, which in my case are tests, math, which I just had today, english (friday), and the already mentioned japanese.

p.s. This is nothing amazing, i'm bored, and I want it to rain. I like to look at the rain, and since it's not raining I did this. haha.
p.p.s. I really like that picture.
p.p.p.s. I bet you that I will have a science and or pe/religion test aswell. Ohh Wait, we are already having a pe prac test.

do you believe in magic ?

heyy y'all, I despise people who say that, you're not a hill billy, nor American...unless you are. On with the work, 'image file types'.
topic statement: how is a bmp different from these;
GIF files : well, hello to you to, so basically gif files are normally used for smaller animations, as the maximum colours you can have is 256.
JPEG files : again, normally used for digital photography. Here the maximum colour would be 42949 something arather with and extra 6 digits to the end of that, pretty much the same as a gif, just more colour depth.
MPEG files : mainly used for digital video's, to use this, you need a fast computer, and lots of free space. Standard colour - 1100kbps, it saves space my deleting the repetition of frames.
ANIMATED GIF files : used to make series of images/frames, Animated gif is larger than a normal gif, common size is 69x60 pixels, the bigger the picture, the bigger the file.
SHOCKWAVE files : commonly used for multimedia, they are vector based, which means that is doesn't save as individual pixels, it saves as a picture. Go shockwave!

perfection through silence


Heyy there, right now I am attempting to draw an animation, and failing with it. Because I have drawn it (its so cool, BWAHAHA), you'll get it later when I upload the image...that kinda sounds like a threat, its not. *cough, cough*. Flower ? Anyways, its not a animation, its a picture, but a very good picture at that. BWAHAHA, yeah, sorry about the flower thing, the flower and I had some problems, such as it didnt fit on the small page...Here comes the fun part!! Well, first I opened gimp, and drew my lovely lady, and made lots and lots of layers, and then added the "*cough*" part.
dsvidania-russian!!
