THE WEEKEND NERD!!

Well I mentioned before in 'My Weekend' post how much of a nerd I was, well I found a picture that probably fits the description of me buckling down and studying. I know crazy Vasili studying shouldn't he be at work, or out with mates. All I can say is embrace it people because its a rare site of NERD VASILI! lol.

Week 6. Lecture- Multiplicity

The lecture this morning was focused on multiplicity of the internet. I learnt about iteration where it is about manipulating something and then taking the result of it and manipulating it again. There was a lot I learnt today in this lecture another area was the wisdom of crowds. There are four main elements in this and they are:
* Diversity
*Independence
*Decentralisation
* Aggregation
a example where these four elements are used are in the website Wikipedia. This website is a open source software where viewers are allowed to adjust or add information.

Different Types of Radio Presenters

There are two main types of radios one is Local radio and the other being Networked radio. An example of networked radio is something like BBC where as local radio is radio broadcast in your town. Most local radio presenters do everything themselves, they sit at a desk with faders, CD players, mini discs, automation play out computer systems and machines playing jingles.

Being a radio presenter is a very insecure job. It take time for you to build up listener loyalty as it can be tough if you make a mistake. If you happen to say something wrong it could cause you to get fired. Although overall its a enjoyable job, playing CD's, making people laugh and constantly talking

To become a good presenter don't try to be clever or cocky, it will only get you disliked and unpopular. Don't be fake or copy anybody else! Just be yourself, keep up to date with current affairs and what is happening in your local area.

My Weekend!

Well my weekend was not as fun. Basically it was doing homework yeah heaps social I know. Really got to know the theorists in the texts books quite well, like we probably progressed to first name basis, who knows might go out one time lol. See what this weekend has done to me made me go crazy. I was also doing my assignments as I am off to Sydney this weekend for a wedding so I guess my social life will improve. I also had to work but that was alright. Last night I worked in a Srilankan function where I was there drink waitor. It started off slow but I got taught how to Bollywood dance and get to know everyone. Ok yeh I couldnt move as good as them but they sure cheered everyone on. They were all soo nice. Today all I did was more assignments I really want to get on top of them all. Whoo feels like I have been a nerd for a weekend got quite a lot done looking back. Dont worry though im tapping into normal Vasili now lol. so none of you will see me as a nerd.

Sic Greek Mix

Week 5. Social Media

In todays tutorial we all got to select our favourite website and present why we like it to the class. There were quite a few interesting sites that I will go have another look and explore in my own time. My favourite website was mixmatters.com, this site keeps you up to date with the latest music. RnB music is what the site is mainly about, but it also does include Dance. You can listen to these songs free and if you like them you can download them onto itunes. Some of the songs have been remixed by certain Dj's so they may have a copyright laws on them. Overall you can listen to 90% of the music. The site also includes music film clips which is great because you can even see the film clip of a song before it becomes a hit. So guys check it out and tell me what you think.

Project A

I have chosen to create a online exhibition for my assignment. I have begun starting it and actually it looks good. I have over the past few days been collecting pictures etc to start my collection. I didn't know I had so much stuff on my topic. But dont worry you will all see it soon. Good Luck everyone, hope you are all going good.

Well Thursday night was a farewell to one of my closet friends Emily. ^ Starting from the Right hand side is Emily, Me (Vasili), Cassie, Sue, Andrew and Courtney. We started our night in Mooseheads, where we had drinks and slowly began our night. It was good to see everyone again as I am at uni where my social life disappears lol. It felt wired saying goodbye, but its alright shes only gone for 6 months. We all made sure we hit the dance floor hard, and all had a turn in grinding with Emily lol.

Week 4. Tutorial- Social Media

In this tutorial I managed to sign up to Delicious. This was another 3-step process to create it. This is a handy site for when you want to save certain sites. It book marks them into your list so you can go back later to view them. I only managed to add my blog on there and the course outline. I think this is a good start so far because I can only add more as the semester goes on. I also learnt how to add a slideshow to my blog. Actually it wasn’t as hard as I thought, and now I have it up and running you all can see what I get up to.

Week 4. Lecture- Web 2.0

I actually arrived late to this lecture so I missed out on a bit of information. Although I remember learning a bit about web 2.0 last semester in Internet Media and Communications. I didn’t realise how many sites are actually using web 2.0. Surprisingly I knew quite a few of the sites. I have now started to found out that the web 2.0 sites actually have more information on them and less pictures. To sign up to these sites is really easy, usually a 3 step process. I’m actually impressed in how much I learnt in the little time I was there; I guess I will only learn more as the semester goes on.

Hitting up the old school songs!

Listening to this song brought back so many memories. I'm sure all of you have heard it before. Although it's probably hidden away on tapes somwhere like where I found it. Heres the chorus so you can all sing along to it

'What would you do?, if your son was at home crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry and thee only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life'

Miley Cyrus- See you again. The Melbourne Crown song!

After an exhausting and eventful day in Melbourne. We eventually gambled away all our money, Only to find the joys of Miley Cyrus 'See you again' Thinking we would see our money again but we didn't. To this day we are stu-stu-stuttering to redeem our money, my wallet can wait till then woh woh, The Crown can't wait to see us again!

Week 3. Tutorial Navigating Networked Media

In this tutorial I was able to sign up to Google reader which was a simple process. I also asked how to load up a 'youtube' video because I was actually struggling to get one up. So if any one else is struggling ill tell you how. Once you have picked your desired video clip highlight the Embedded code and copy it to blogger. Once in blogger and ready to post click on edit Html and paste the Embedded code. Now click on compose and a outline of the video clip should be displayed. Till next tutorial play around with this and tip and ill fill you in with more throughout the weeks.

How Spiro stopped biting his nails. one on one EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. Nail Bitters check this out!

For all you nail bitters out there here is a EXCLUSIVE ONE TIME ONLY! interview with Spiro.

Vasili- How did it all start?
Spiro- Since very young, being under huge amounts of stress from brother Gary stealing my toys. It left me with nothing to chew on, so i resulted to my nails.
Vasili- Can you ever forgive your brother for all the traumatised memories?
Spiro- Considering it was so long ago I've already forgotten about all the pain he has caused. But if I could retrace my footsteps I would have eaten his nails instead.
Vasili- What was your treatment?
Spiro- Treatment began 2 weeks ago when friend Peter decided to buy a new phone, and due to boredom we ventured into Big.W where girlfriend Kayla suggested to buy some nail biter treatment has my nails were rotting. But i decided to go on my own free will and go cold turkey. Not even using a patch.
Vasili- How are the nails now?
Spiro- Prettier than ever but still disgusting when I go for that little nibble.
Vasili- How do you prevent that little nibble?
Spiro- I think of you lol but the real key is PERSISTENCE!

Vasili- Well thank you for devoting your time out of your busy schedule Spiro, all the best in the near future for your nails
Spiro- I'm just utterly speechless. (Head in between legs crying)

Carving up the World

This lecture Carving up the world was interesting. The way it was setup for us to learn about what the internet lacks, how it groups certain information together, they way the websites are designed and ontology was actually broken and put into a easier contexts which really help me understand and take notes. I learnt quite a bit and is evident in my book.

Despina Vandi

On the 13th of September this is the greek singer ill be seeing live in Sydney DESPINA VANDI. Only the best female greek singer of all time. She has sooo many songs followed by smash hit after smash hit. Im actually pretty excited already cause I know most of her songs. Who knows I might even get lucky and dance with her on stage. Hopefully she wont be intimidated by my greek dancing moves lol. Let me know if you want more details.

Thanos Petrelis ' Mesa Mou'

Lucky me got to see the awsome Greek singer live in Sydney. I would have to say it would have been one of the best nights of my life. 'Mesa Mou' is my favourite song of his. Its a song about him being confused in love. Seeing him perform was amazing. I go soo close to him, within meters. But I think he was intimidated by me cause I am a Hellenic Dancer Teacher and Student, I mean who wouldn't lol. That must be the reason why I didn't get put onto the stage. To get this far I had to go through the mosh pit. Although a Greek mosh pit isn't like a normal mosh pit. Theres room for the guys to get down on the floor and drink a glass of alcohol that is placed by friends. The girls are usually shaking everything they have to impress. Yes I would have to say this was a big night. Next time he comes ill give out details and you can join me.

THE SMASH HIT SONG 'ME & YOU' BY CASSIE

This would have to be my all time favourite song and film clip. I managed to create many amusing memories to this song, starting from back in college even till this very day. When ever this song comes on in a nightclub watch out! LIKE I ATCUALLY MEAN IT! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do so please comment on what you think about it.
