I think I'm in a bit of a love/ hate relationship. Html is very fascinating, it's how the internet works, but it hurts my brain! Maybe I'm just lazy but I don't particularly enjoy sifting through masses of text to find out where I forgot to type a semicolon. I know you may think I'm being pedantic but I think it's probably emotional scarring from high school. My IT class was actually just a demonstration for how html can be used for the forces of evil. Never have marquee and blink tags been used in such frightening ways...
What really racking my brain is the first project. At the moment my plan is to create an almost portfolio for my electronic entertainment prospects. Explain and outline my experiments with sound and music, playing between genres and future production possibilities. Also looking into my lighting tech, how it works and how it can be expanded. Finally my goals and what I hope to with all my music and lighting.
The tricky bit is finding an appropriate home for all this info! Ideally, I envisage, a multi-page blog that incorporates plenty of images and colour but also houses facts not only on my own work but also a starting knowledge base for all the technology that I use. This would not only help in audiences understand better my fascinations but also give a starting point for anyone else interested in doing what I do.

Entering the blogosphere.
Hello Internet I have officially joined your blogosphere.
It's curious that it's taken me this long to start an online journal. My life has already gone digital in so many ways already, my music is digital, the films and TV I watch, even the half the books we read at school have now been digitised.
I think it is important, or at least very fascinating to find out how it all works though. I did have a brief understanding of how the internet was built networks, however, the info on packets and data transfer is great for understanding how my other technology works. Currently my music and lighting software and hardware uses DMX512 and MIDI to control assorted functions. To my newly acquired understanding, they both uses packets of data and their attached values to send and receive information between my PC and music and lighting devices.
One thing I would like to learn more about is bit rates. We have covered this somewhat in my Intro to Media Production lectures, but mostly in regard to images and colour. Perhaps I will do some reading on the construction of sound in a digital environment, how bits of data actually make up sounds. Hopefully it will be covered in one of the coming lectures too.
