That's as Useful as a Fart in a Spacesuit! (My Illustrator Toolbar)
Hello everyone, it is that time again for the Badger to emerge from his burrow!

It's not what I call perfect, but for me it'll do

I am the Sheppard... And you are my Flock!... (Vector vs. Bitmaps)
From the depths of a hollow burrow, lies a creature who knows no life... This creature... is a Badger! Today, this creature will torture you with his corrupting magic based on Bitmaps and Vectors!
~ Vectors are made up of points that are used to control where lines go. These are usually used on programs such as Adobe Illustrator on the Pen Tool. The Pen Tool creates vectors on a working canvas and then joins them up, which then lines are drawn.
~ A Bitmap is a type of file that is used to store pictures/images. The pictures on Bitmap files are made up tiny blocks called Pixels.
Did you like my intro!? Now, if you're wondering what Timekeeping has got to do with Digital Communications, The answer is... 'Nothing, Per'say' The reason I'm doing this is because I forgot to do my homework last week.
~ The idea of time keeping is that so you can do your work in your spare time at home and then hand it in on time on a set deadline. A Deadline is a set day and time for an assignment or a piece of work to be handed in, otherwise could be consequent...

Ooo! It's a Chocolate! (Blog Update and Flash CS4 coding)
What's that rustling sound?... It's the Badger Blogger! I welcome you to my den of seemingly very interesting work on todays blog update!
Not much is going on today. Me and everyone (well, almost everyone!) are updating there blogs and giving them a makeover. Makes them look more colourful! I've added a few things too: a Text Page, a Video Menu (full of LostProphets music videos!), a Configure Page list and a new banner! I'm not going to bother changing the background theme because I like it the way it is!
In other news, we see pigs fly!
...
No just kidding! Yesterday, everyone has been learning some advance coding on Flash CS4.
The coding is "whatever.onPress = function () {Hello World!}" Basically, you use this code for some graphics: You press a button and a message (hence "Hello World!") will appear in the Outgoing section in Flash.
And that's me for today!

Alright! It's a Jammie Dodger! I was promised Tea! (Interview Reviews)
You know what? I quite fancy a Jammie Dodger right now! The Badger Blogger is rather peckish!
Anyway, this week we have been interviewing a couple of students for our Weymouth College website, although one of the interviews nearly went wrong because one the teachers needed to get through and yelled 'Excuse me please' and almost ruined the whole thing! We need some signs that say "An intereview in progress. Do Not Disturb!" that would really help!

I find that Shallow and Perdantic... (My PhotoShop image)
Argh! Even badgers need a lie-in! I'm tired and want to go to sleep...
Not much is going on today, we've all been asked to add stuff to our Blogs and to be honest, I'm not in the mood to do anything this morning 'cause I'm still waking up (I NEED SUGAR!) and the fact that you add your own crafted designs to Blogger and the problem is I haven't done anything and I need to use PhotoShop CS3 (or 4) to do anything...
Any who, lets get on with what I was supposed to be doing on this post: Basically, this is an image I did before half-term.
Me and my group were practicing using some advance tools on PhotoShop CS4 and it was a good idea too because I'm mainly used to using CS3

What! So you're saying that room is Riot Proof!? (Emails and IM)
The Badger Blogger is thinking he should work in a cyber restaurant if he keeps on posting lots of new tasty moursols! Todays "Flavour of the Week" involves...
Emails and Instant Messaging
Email (or Electronic Mail) is a way of sending and recieving messages across the internet or other computer networks. Email is often sent and recieved from PC to PC, rather than waiting for a piece of paper in an evolope to arrive the next day. Here is an example of an email message:
Now on to Instant Messaging!
Instant Messaging is a lot like Email, except it's... well, "instant!" Basically, you can talk to someone over the internet, no matter where they are talking form. (even from across the world!) There are all kinds of websites and software that can allow you use to instantly communicate over the internet. The most common Instant messaging software used today is MSN Messenger. MSN also has other kinds of features you use to communicate instantly, such as Voice or Video calls. Here's an example of instant Messaging
Now, the Badger Blogger will be off, until next time kids!

You Have No Pancake Mix! (3G Post browse)
Wow, only mere minutes since my last post (well, it was mere minutes when I started writing the post!) . The Badger Blogger is very chatty today... or spammy. Whatever, I'll let you choose your ice cream flavour!
I'm back and here to say that I've just been visiting some ramdom persons home and reading their mail on 3G networks. Infact, I'm still there!
And I quote:
"The 3G network (Third Generation) protocol is something that features in most modern production phones giving the user more usability with access to the world wide web and email, and provides this data a high speed."
Whoever wrote this right in saying that 3G is very easy to use with fast speed, and their right because I use 3G a lot on my iPhone and the connection speed is pretty sweet. Use it, for the Badger Blogger has spoken!

Part Fork and Part Spoon... And Part Gerkin! (GPRS)
Hello everyone, the Badger Blogger is here to deliver some sweet, yet very seemingly sour morsals in todays 'Flavors of the Week!'
Today, we are here to talk about the General Packet Radio Service. (or GPRS for short)
GPRS is a mobile data service that works on the 2G and 3G global system for mobile communications. That basically means you can go into town and go on the internet on your phone. (Me? I preffer the 3G network on my iPhone. It's much better!)
GPRS also supports protocols, here's one:
Internet Protocol - It's a bulit-in browser that uses IPv4. It says it's not yet popular. Ok...

But I haven't even drunk it yet! (W3C)
The Badger Blogger is not amused. I bought a perfectly good hot chocolate this mourning, which I had to throw away before yours truly could get a chance taste its sweet heaven because it 'thou shalt taint' the classroom of her holy teachy-ness!
Anyway, I'm here today to talk abouth the guidelines of the W3C: It's mainly about the advantages and disadvantages of the World Wide Web+
The mission statement identifies sharing knowledge, human communication and commerce trading are benefits of using the web, W3C’s primary goal states that all people will have thesebenefits available to them but here are some barriers that some people may get:

Guilty! It's what I do every Friday night! (Photo Shoot and Filming Plan)
Never fear! The Badger Blogger is here!
...
Wow, that sounded cringy... I'm not saying that again. And the only thing you fear from a badger is a nasty nip.
Not much has been going on today. Me and my group went to the student lounge to get a Hot Chocolate (well, one of us did!) and plan out what we had to do for our video that we were going to film. Then we went to the Chesil block: The only thing we did was for one of us to take photos of the building interior. He did the same thing in the Holworth block asawell.
When he'd finished, we had to ask a couple of people in that block if we could interview them on monday. The problem is that... they weren't teachers. One was working on the main desk in the library on the other was working on the main desk in the Learning Gateway, and he was only covering for someone whos ill! So at some point this week, we're gonna have to come back here to ask some proper teachers for some interviews. Then we had to go back to the Chesil block because we forgot to ask some teachers there if we could interview them, which went well considering I know both of them!
And thats about it for the filming plan. Until Next, This is Three Dog!... No wait! That's Fallout 3! I'm the Badger Blogger, serving up the best badger bites! (Thanks Chris ;))

What is SMS?
SMS stands for Short Message Service. It's a communications component for mobile phones and websites, allowing users (whether they are using a mobile or forum on a website) to chat to one another, whether it is an email or a text message.
