    G’Day mates! I feel that this blog has become but a refuse for my technical additions, and that defeats the original purpose of this enterprise. As such, let me confide a few recent events
    of my life. For one, my exam period begins in two days.

    Coincidentally, I also have three major assignments due within the same period. As such, my life over the next 48 hours will be hell, though this is of my own disorganized making. As for the remainder, I am somewhat perplexed as to the position I hold towards my feelings in relation to a girl I know.

    I have already loved and lost before. Am I prepared to lose again?

    Just to mention a shout out to William for some valuable tips on the use of meta tags.

    That and: more fans in your case doesn’t equal cooler temperatures.

    Heya!

    Well, I was going through the process of adding this site to Google.com’s repertoire. Something along the road clicked in, and I just decided to google for NXSeal. Sure enough, it was already in the database! Now if it can only spider the updated meta info.

    I’m quite the geek to find that newfound notion absolutely and utterly satisfying, but it is. Also made a little addition so that the information for the webcam and blog pages wouldn’t be cached, which means the client that visits the site would obtain the latest information (and not automatically retrieve stored contents from a previous visit).

    Talk about a dull update.

    G’day mates. Well, unfortunately, this is once again just a lingering FYI onto the newest invisible updates to the site. The butterfly that appears on the introduction page is usually of no encumbrance on moderate resolutions (ie. 1024×768).

    However, under unexpanded windows or minimal resolutions, that butterfly will coverup some of the text. Therefore, I wrote a script that will only display the butterfly when certain resolution requirements of the browser itself are met [not the screen, but that of the browser, which thus keeps into account the un-maximised state of browser windows]. I for one want to keep this whole site as minimal as possible on the size factor, so this will hopefully be the only such addition to my site.

    For those of you who may have thought that the webcam pics never get updated, I set out to prove you wrong today. I edited the page to refresh automatically every 30 seconds, and set the webcam program to take shots for the same duration of an interval, regularily, throughout the night.
