Thing 9

http://vaderzim.pbwiki.com/Singapore%202007

Wiki's in the workplace and especially ours might be useful to share recipes. i know recipes are stored on the G Drive but if your at home without access to this drive and you know there is a recipe here that you are dying to try for your dinner party the following night, having it on a public wiki would be useful.

students might be able to use then to put up notes for lecturers and tutorials so that students that are sick will have access to them from home so they don't have to a) get behind and b) bug other students for their notes.

as it being a public avenue there is the need to be wary of what one puts on one of these things so its probably only useful for non private material and information

ALIA

for u out there. next week i will be away so check out my progress at this site/blog

http://aliaconference2007.blogspot.com/

Confused

so im a little confused right. this 23 things program runs for 13 weeks and we are meant to make something like 12 blog posts (one for each week we do a thing) but if week four and five are play weeks, what is the topic we are supposed to write about?

someone throw me a freakin bone here (little Austin Powers for u all)

so if we do have a play are we meant to comment on this and if we do nothing are we meant to just ramble some crap, coz this i am good at.

so im gonna make this my official week 4 blog


In what cases do you think RSS will be useful? For you? For our users? What makes it different to email ?.


if used correctly it is a useful tool to keep always up to date with the information that you are interested in without having to remember to check the actual site time to time.

at work its is also a good way to keep up with the changing nature in which we work and for students to keep up with the changes we make here to things that effect how they study.

i dont really have much i wanna say about this topic. so i might just stop here.

Where my name comes from

so here is a little background to where my blog page title actually comes from.

there is this show which is on nickelodeon (well not at the moment its not) and it is called Invader Zim. it is about an irken alien that is banished from his home planet and sent on a "secret mission" to invader. the all mighty tallest send him to the furthest planet from irken, which turns out to be earth. so Zim is on earth thinking he is here to invade our planet. our only hope is a big headed boy named Dib who is obsessed with aliens.

the series runs for about 22 episodes and just goes through the adventures or should i say misadventures.

so why do i call myself vader zim when the show is invader zim i hear u ask?? well it actually has to do with my car believe it or not. i drive a 2004 Holden Commodore which is a VZ model. so coz my car is a VZ and Invader Zim is my favourite tv series i name myself Vader Zim as eventually i will get number plates (white on pink for those thinking of buying me a present) so it kinda matches (VZ - Vader Zim).

so the character u will see in this clip is Gir. he is Zim's trusty side kick robot which is actually meant to me a Sir. but coz Zim is not a popular invader the tallests just threw odd parts together to create Gir. he is the most stupidest but cutest little robot around. i love him so much i had him tattooed on my ankle :) the song that this clip is to is called Numa Numa and for the life of me i haven't been able to work out what language it is in. but it such a cool song no matter what that its been my mobile ring tone for the past 2 yrs.

well enough of me blabbing heres the clip. Enjoy!
