7.7.09 Augustgrad.com Logo/Teaser posted by Pax @ 8:55 PM
Ok, so I've finally got some time to work on a lil' project of mine called Augustgrad. It's supposed to be a Starcraft 2 Fansite of some type. I'm looking to integrate some sort of eSport/league functionality. The logo has been tweaked and colors have been set. The theme is going to follow suit according to the Starcraft: Brood War campaign set on the hills of Augustgrad--a Desert color palette and texture.

Here's a teaser wallpaper (click to enlarge):



Btw, I still haven't finalized the mini caption to the bottom right of the logo. For now, I have temporarily put "Starcraft II Annex". Until I get the general idea of the site's main service to its audience, this will have to do.

25.6.09 Check for Vacant UBC Courses via Twitter posted by Pax @ 10:27 PM
Today was the day to register for UBC courses; however, I soon realized that one of my Laboratory sections was full. This displeased me very much.

So, I created an 'app' to check that course page frequently and send a text message via Twitter to my cellphone to notify me when there's a vacant spot for the course ^^

The only problem is that I need to keep pinging that HTML page; therefore, my laptop has to stay on for the next 3 months. Bummer. I need to find a different system to run it on. Perhaps one of the lab computers will do? MUHAHAHA.
15.6.09 Bday posted by Pax @ 5:57 PM

My bday is today. June 15! Finally 22. The numbers don't mean anything to me anymore. They just aren't so significant after 21 :/

Anyways, I had my first day of classes for Term 2. One class actually.I experimented on cooking a nice dinner for myself. I followed Jamie Oliver's parmesan chicken breasts with crispy posh ham, without the parmesan (I didn't have any).

It tasted really good. Here's a pic:

Ingredients:

• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 2 skinless chicken breasts, preferably free-range or organic
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lemon
• 6 slices of prosciutto
• olive oil
