Work, Work, Work

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 15th, 2008 | 0 Comments

It seems that i am forever in work these days. I never have any time to myself. Since i got transferred over to a different branch about a month ago i have been working non stop!

I had intended to get up late today and just relax for the day, but then my phone rang and i was asked to come to work because they were short staffed, so i said i would go in because i need the money since i am going away to Galway at the end of this month.

But the good news is i am off work Monday and Tuesday of this week, so plenty of time for what i want to do.

My new site layout

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 12th, 2008 | 0 Comments

Well as you can see i have recently changed the complete appearance of this website. I think that it was about time because everything kind of looked all over the place. This new theme (Wicketpixie) i have was created by Chris Pirillo and can be found here. This theme has everything in it, it allows all of my different accounts that i am signed up into to be all displayed on the one page, My Site!

When you get this theme it has all of Chris's content in it such as live video's and his Flickr and youtube account. It is a very easy process to change all this to your own content 

I have just recently signed up to Flickr and you can see all my pictures here.

There is one problem that everyone was having with this theme when it came out and that was that it would not display properly on Internet Explorer 7, like come on it works perfectly on every other browser such as firefox and safari. Considering that this theme is FREE to everyone, what you get is unbelievable. This theme could just have easily been made for purchase only!

Back to the problem with IE7 the reason it is not displaying properly is because this theme is still in development. This theme has been released early so that people can get the feel of it and if they like it they can donate for the further development of it.

I have made some CSS up to help fix the problem of the appearance of this blog in IE7, this CSS will align the navigation and search bar at top back to where they should be, the code is as follows:

#nav {

 

float:left;

position:absolute;

left:0%;

top:224px;

 

}

 

#topbar {

float:left;

position:absolute;

left:0%;

}

 

#mid {

padding: 30px 0 0 0;

 

}

 

 

You can just paste the above CSS code into the IE7.css file in the CSS folder of wicketpixe or download this file and replace it with the original.

Exam Results

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 10th, 2008 | 2 Comments

So my exam results came out today, i passed everything except for Maths, The funny thing is that i thought i had actually passed it, i reckon it was marked really hard. But i am not alone in the failing of maths, at least i get to repeat it again this August, so it means out with the notes and get to some solid studying.

I have been approved to go onto second year so at least this grade wont hold me back from continuing on.

I am looking foward to next year, year 1 was just a taster of what the course's were all about so its really just the second year where i need to concentrate and it seems to have some interesting classes
