2009…

6 years ago…in March I started a website using Geocities (thanks Yahoo Profiles for the exact date- now I can’t calm it was in 2003- those bastards!). For those who didn’t get the news Geocities is going the way of the dinosaurs now.

And while the original layouts and designs I have made which used Publisher to be developed are long gone- and the blank pages with affiliate links and a topsites as well. What is left on my Geocities account does hold lots of old remnants of a site once gone. A era and decade which now no longer exists.

From random mp3/midi files to images and websites today I’m sharing what has always been kept secret for many of a year.

29 January 2006 & November 2005 – CareyKid Designs; the completion of one of the best designs I have ever spirited was uploaded to Yahoo Geocities this day. (For some reason there is an extra version which was updated on the; 18 December 2007). 2006 I didn’t know much about designs to a point- but with people insisting I make some table designs and me not knowing how to make tabled designs from images- I created a few designs which used images and then got a friend to code them.

He went at that time by Careykid and developed Another Code Labs v.10 and another design which was used as a HTML design (which then got converted to iGaming CMS).

Another Code Labs v.10 (click the image to view the coded design)

Another Code Labs iGaming Era (click the image to view the coded design)

The inspiration for v.10 came from the original theme which was developed for a forum software called NextBBS. At the time I admired the forums software and most of all the colours and how the theme worked. I wanted to encapsulate that into my website- so I used the same colour pallet and designed the layout using sprites.

The iGaming CMS era was in November 2005. This layout was made before v.10. If my memory served me correct v.10 was the return to HTML while the design from November was used for iGaming CMS (this didn’t take off as well as I hopped for my type of site).

There’s no doubt that CK has done probably a few other designs for me. But these are the only ones which I have left. A shame- as slowly the  history of my older sites are disappearing- but what I do have left is a good start to show people what was once there.

In 2009 I no longer have all the original files which Another Code Labs used- meaning I don’t have any of the original content. I do have access to see some via internet achieves- but that doesn’t extend the greatest parts of the site.

These designs where made in the prime time of Another Code Labs- visits from around the globe and everyone enjoying what we had to offer. It evolved into something which started going down hill just after ACLv.10- a real shame, but we did get visits from the developers who I hope where impressed, but now if you look at Another Code Labs- what has become of it- the resource that once stood has become a mini site which doesn’t deserve anything it gets.

It’s a real shame to see what my original site had become- but while most people remember me for that….Geocities shines something onto that statement which makes people go “huh- oh yeah DS sites before that”. Yes its time to see one of those DS sites- in a way back style which doesn’t come back.

August 2004 – DS Like; Do you like the Nintendo DS? I do! Yes while that wasn’t the snatchy catch phrase which I should of used to advertise my site- my 2nd Nintendo DS Site (DS_Network (1st) – DS Like (2nd) – Aussie DS (3rd) – Aussie DS never took of the ground). It was hosted on that domain- why? Because DS_Network failed in a big hump- the original hosting service I used used disappeared, so I went back to my Geocities account to create DS Like durring my spare time.

This little baby also had two designs- the later which I’m going to show you – with the code. Was a free layout which I found. The original? Yes it was a CK design.

Once again it was based of something I wanted to see- via an Image and then he coded it up. What was the first DS Like Layout? Well in real fact it was the second layout. You see the original “prototype” website for DS Like- was called DS Style.

DS Like v.1 (DS Style) (click the image to view bigger image)

Ah the original design was so “icky” but it dam well provided that information it had. Showing user information (how many users online, homepage button, add to favourites button) – wow you don’t see those features anymore in web 2.0, it also featured some random fanfics I wrote/some random chick wrote.

While the new layout requested people to make a banner with “DS Style” it turns out that name was going to disappear- using the same information and resources I’ve collected – DS Like formed from the ashes of the prototype DS Style.

DS Like v.2 (click the image to view the yahoo geocities page- please note this may not work in the coming months)

But all good things must come to an end- before I shoved the Another Code Labs v.10 design on the domain- users going to the site would find index.htm- this page featured the following message:

Well the time has come for Ds_Style to close , we had a great time with the affiliates and top sites we were members of but , I have come to the decision to close the site. After 6 Months from Harvest Moon to Ds Information we covered for you now the only remains are the fanfic’s  , Ds news and the forum community. This time with the affiliates wont be misted I shore had a great time maintaining a site with information on the Nintendo ds , but as I said a time comes in a sites life to close its doors and move on in life all affiliates plz remove the link , if you still keep the link plz give notification to your viewers we have closed. You may still see me working for other sites or helping out with others in need of information but this is the last big site "I" am going to run i may work for a big site in the furture but for now its good by plz join the forum or go to the idea site or news blog.

Wow! To think I used to use the internet like a fucking idiot (aka how Kieren types on his site/msn).

DS Like v.3 (Dual Idea) (click the image to view a bigger image)

The site didn’t end there- all the old information found itself on another Geocities website about the Nintendo DS later on (god knows when this happened) wait I think this happened soon after DS Like closed- wait maybe it happened when Aussie-DS closed :/

It’s a shame; It is a shame that the hosting on this site didn’t offer more secrets and clues to my webmaster past. It seems it wasn’t as smooth as I always said- and for the most part- its a dam shame the Aussie-DS design which was coded for me no longer is on that site. Because that was dam one hell of a web design. Also DS_Network/Aussie-DS pages no longer exist- I don’t think they ever where on this page- but its a dam shame they didn’t. Also it would of been nice with some of the original designs/uses for the geocities page.

This month I launched 5xxt.com well it was a surprise launch because the night before me and my friend who showers me with domains where talking about what we can do site wise and well what types of domains we should purchase to grow our network either outwards or just harden it up a little so it collapses in a burning heap.

So 5xxt.com was coined, but the problem was we only wanted it because it was small, we did- meaning I coined a few things I would do project wise, but in the end I wake up and its like “OI MAN I GOT YOU A DOMAIN” great news, I always wanted another domain I can use for random crap- as if trinest.com isn’t enough already for that particular reason.

So I sat down and thought- well the domain name sounds very techy- how about a technology website. But the problem was everyone I showed the link to didn’t want to click it, because apparently it sounded to much like a bloody porn site for them to give a dam if its possibly a tech site. But in the end I spouse its their spiteful hate for all random rushed projects I release.

So I had to think just after all I did was a “temp” design and launch the forums- what the fuck could I use this domain for? I went along to the lines that I’ve pushed some random projects in the past few months to some companies which I have bitched how come there isn’t such a such a project- even though in reality it would probably make them go down the drain faster then shit. But who cares- I sent a few emails of to them- why not turn it into a site about that.

But then I realised no-one wants to read about what crazy shit I’ve done which could quite possibly make company’s do the opisate to what I want them to. So I decided to start putting in some more effort to the domain- lets make it a link of all the projects I’ve done. So I shoved in for hariousness- a random article about a “t3h epic zelda game- lolz” to bad I put no thought in it- but for content wise its something to fill up the firkin pyramid I started on the site of “future content” YAY!

So un related to that I decided- lets bring back the Survival Kids fansite- and so far that project will never take off. But then today I was reading some forums and I was like “wouldn’t it be cool if I started a website about Little King’s Story" but then I thought it would just be stupid- as it would become into what I’ve done to Another Code Labs- a shoddy micro site which puts the developers who once came to the site to shame and wondering what the fuck the fans of their games smoke.

So then with that I canned both those ideas- the Survival Kids one (well I never started- wait I did’ I uploaded some videos to youtube) anyway then just an hour ago when Good News Week finished I was like “dam I could so make a Disaster: Day of Crisis fansite- and make it all epic like those Zelda fansites”- just because I looked at some forum and said “cool Disaster music which I already have”. Well I got news for me- no I can’t make a fucking Disaster fansite because last time I tried that it turned into a micro site and was hard to read because I was going through a transparency faze for all my web design.

I really want to do something with the 5xxt domain, but chances are what I do is going to be a pile of shit. Or closely resembling some sort of vomit with a BMW badge on it. (I love stealing jokes from Top Gear)

So lets for a moment leave 5xxt alone- join the forums if you want to- and heck they will stay there until I go crazy, rip the site to shits and put another forum there to replace that one after I get one to many members.

So trinest.com, what can I say about what I’ve done to it. I’ve turned it into a blog about me, with a splash of bitching and some random games. It all came down when I decided “hey I should really merge all my sites together into one site- trinest.com, make it about video games/nintendo and then get some affiliates- that will really boost the non-existent traffic to my site”. First things first- I had to make my fluctuating unique visitors of around 0 – 100 each day look appealing. I spiced it up by saying “I get 105- per day yep- oh and the articles, you readers will love them”. Just because I had nothing else to offer. Great!

So now its a blog which I just post in- during my spare time just because I can. It has a page for projects- but I doubt any of them are real/going to take off. I do a few random posts now and then- especially during when I’m meant to be doing school *haahaaha* because what’s more fun then me making my teacher cry when his perfect score average for his Software class is ruined by me and my “how the fuck do you make a fucking – currency converter’” attitude- and while the major project is a few months away and I haven’t started, to this day (the project with the CC was a few months ago) I still don’t know. How the fuck you make a currency converter in Visual Basic 6.

So I asked my friend a week before its due- how you make one. He said he didn’t have a clue- and he sent me some random code from Google which solved the problem if I knew wtf each thing linked to- and the code which I needed to make that code work. Yay. Either he doesn’t know and he’s going to have a fucking shit time when he comes back to school next year after his retarded Gap year- or he does know and wants me to look like an idiot.

So in class the other day- in IT, the class was doing this sheet- now I have the same teacher for 3 classes (IT, IPT and Software) and if I piss him off in the morning for one, you know I’m fucked for the rest of the afternoon. So this sheet we had to suggest things that this random person would do to help someone who complains about a simple PC feature (password ******’s at login) so I’m like- not to the class, but to me and a friend and the teacher while hes address the class. “Why doesn’t he just have no password, and it logs in automatically, then he wont have to be a tool and ring customer support for stupid problems” – okay not to that exact wording but you get the point. So anyway the teacher instead of looking at the class, swings over, looks at me and in a very serious tone hes like “if your serious about that then your doing the wrong class/you should consider a different path in your life”- once again not to those exact words, but pretty close. Now I turn to my friend once he goes talking to the class again and hes like “where you serious” and I pretty much go in a emo personality and a very wtf tone about what the teacher did, because I was seriously suggesting that as an option- well I was joking a bit, but as a professional option, I would suggest that.

So its now the holidays, and a week has already gone by and I’ve done nothing but stay at home. Why because I don’t have a job + I’m to lazy to do anything. It’s not like I havn’t tried to get a job- I’ve put in a few job things to various places- the past year or so—(okay 5ish, but I’m still looking activity- online/via word of mouth/friends). I don’t want a serious job- and I don’t want a shitty one at Mc Donald’s- but one thing I hate is wearing fucking uniform. Which is why for the most part I’d hate working at any fucking job. But when it comes down to it- when your looking at my reasume, and see “no licence, lives at home, no job history except for work experience in a totally unrelivant area” (it, for school and with my bro a few times) in these tough economic clement, it would be a merical if I even got considered for a job.

And when it comes down to getting a car licence- its not like I don’t want one now. Heck I will need one soon for when I turn 18. But seriously- for my fucking L’s- its not like I don’t know the stuff. It’s all my parents falts for never wanting to go anywhere. I’d come home from school at lunch some days, and want to go down town for something- because either there’s nothing I want to eat or something, and for the most part mums just like “no I got work at 4” (keep in mind its 12:00 – and its usually only something which takes only half an hour max). I really hope my dad is reading this when hes like “Let’s see what Trent’s bitching about today- oh dear his brother made him eat chili when he went over to his place- good god *rings up brother- ADAM*”- but anyway maybe something would then fucking happen.

So anyway while I have no job- and I have all this spare time- and no I’m not going to fucking mow the lawn when its only slightly starting to stick up. Stop bitching (watch him do it anyway, its just a little bit long, he will bitch to me, then do it) – all it needs for the most part is fucking whipper snip- which guess what ours hardly works- I don’t think- anyway it sucks to get starting- go away.

So I’ve tried to write a book- now my target when I set it out last holidays- was to have my short story out this month during these holidays. Yay- now its next holidays I want it finished. Because while its just a short story I want to write and then publish it by Lulu, or something- or maybe just even offer a pdf for download on this site. The point is I hate fucking writing- its a pile of shit, it takes for ever, and like HTML/VISUAL BASIC- I’m fucking sick of it.

A few years ago when I started learning HTML- I really liked it, in fact I out smarted this teacher we had for a bit because all he knew about computers was a little bit of HTML and besides that he swore by ProBasic (I think it was called that :/). Anyway I got a block of chocolate for that- yay me. But anyway…

But now when I make a website- I don’t give a shit anymore so my work is always sub- par to what I can accuracy do. I can tell you now- Another Code Labs and 5xxt’s current layouts defiantly are not the best I can do. I say trinest.com isn’t the best either- but its a nice style which looks good. But the point here is I’m sick of it, its not Visual Basic where I’m sick of it because I know fuck all- its I’m sick of it because I know a little bit more then the next guy.

Also what I now hate is that I can’t program in any new language teaching myself anymore. HTML for me I picked up and learned it and CSS fine. But now I pick up another language for example Visual Basic, or Java, or something of the like and I’m just like “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT” yeah I understand what each line means, but when I look at it- I don’t remember the code and I don’t know what the code is doing that logically- I know what it means yes, but why is it like that- I’m stumped.

Anyway this has been a long over due bitch- its getting late, I’ll read over this, send it to some people and they will read it, then I’m pissing off for bed. Good night people and add me as your friend on fucking FaceBook already. You know who you are.

So when I was little apparently I used to say:

Little Green Frog-

One day found himself in a garbage can

he couldn’t get out

he couldn’t get out

little green frog one day…

So I thought! Why not make a video of it and put it on youtube. Tis what I did.

Sharna was lying on her sons cold milk stained pillows. A heavy wet rag sat on her head. Sharna has always been a good fighter, adventuring many things in her life before hand. But this topped it all. She lied on his bed almost dehydrated, she had her legs out stretched and waiting for it to be over she started to fall into a deep slumber.

Her son Bill runs into his room towards his mother with a smile on his face. He had his gaming system on full ball, sound flooded into Sharna’s ears erupting a dance party in the already burring head of hers. Sharna lifted her head and looked at Bill with disgust for a few moments. She then softly said ‘Not now dear, mummies hurting’. Bill only 5 didn’t understand he sat on his bed with a thump. Sharna then got the best of it and picked up a book which was next her and chucked it at Bill. The book hit the DS and slammed it shut. With a crying upset look Bill ran out screaming ‘DADIE!!!’

Bill demanded his hand to be looked at. So the next day his dad Ben took him to the doctors. Sharna came along to, she had an appointment anyway. The doctor Mr. Cream placed Bill’s hand on the table. Bill noticed the table was soft, soft like his teddy bears at home. He found comfort in this he let the doctor look at his hand. The doctor then walked out with a pace and speed of that of a man with a mission. This doctor’s mission was to tell Sharna something important, but at the same time tell the parents about their child….

Like that? You can download the PDF of this story here.

You see I hated the yellow team, just because they were just bitchy and shit. I have other reasons- but for now that will do.

The point is I hated them for entertainment purposes.

In the end they said ‘I wanna leave’

So they had an eviction- and guess who goes?

I didn’t know last night because I went for a drive in my brothers GF’s new car.

She got a BMW e30 yay!

Anyway turns out that the yellow team got evicted (checked the site).

Thank god.

Also turns out that the show is filmed so ages ago ay- 2 months ago was when they left- and that was only yesterday on tv.

Oh and ads now to see how good they are

• Today I was going to get MMs (in fact I did) but my mum wanted to try the mint (Green) MMs. I got a packet of the ‘brake up’ ones- which guess what colour the MMs were? Green- not the mint ones- but normal green. I guess what I’m saying here is its ‘lol green’ thing :/
• This kid has a party and invited all of year 12 and it went around to all of year 12 and year 11, basically a bunch of people turned up like that party in Melbourne.
• The yellow couple still hasn’t left biggest looser- which grinds my gears- anyway from the looks of the ads, the next ep will have them leave (cause they don’t want to be there- and I don’t want them there) so hopefully that’s what happens.
• My Samsung J750 is a pile of shit, is slow, brakes all the time, the space doesn’t work, it can’t connect to the Optus network half the time and sometimes when I’m typing a SMS it a random pop up appears. Oh and it freezes too when I use the internet now- what a pile of shit.
• I got permission to use my PDA or Laptop at school now- YAY!

And that’s all I remember happing in the past few weeks- till next random personal update. Enjoy Good News Week and Rove on their respective timeslots this week also watch Burn Notice. Fucking Awesome show! Wow that twist on the latest episode- dam fucking epic.
