Well of course, I have had university work to do; I am working on my second year of my degree at the moment so I have had lots to do there. I created a couple of pieces of work that I was extremely proud of. For one of modules, I had to write a Java program which was a massive undertaking. The Java program was a simple piece of network mapping software. It worked out amazing; I can’t say I have been more proud of anything, work wise, than this. Check out a screenshot of it in action on my Flickr account.

Now that I do not have as much work to do, I think it is time to kick back and getting to having some fun. Of course, there are lots of things I can now do like to see films out, going drinking and the like I can now do. I have been enjoying talking to friends and really finding out what people have been up to, that has been amazing. The thing that really is getting to me, is that now that I have got used to working really hard on my university work, I it find it really hard to unwire and just chill out. It is funny that the first thing I wanted to do when all my work was over was to get back on my computer and start playing around with Spacedmonkey.

I think instead of just chilling out, for the next couple of weeks I am going to end up arm deep in writing for my many web sites. I have already added Live search to Spacedmonkey this blog. Try it out today, it really is cool. I also have lots of other plans. So watch this space for updates as I go and first looks at the cool stuff I am doing.

Normally I don’t write posts on my web site personal site about computers, I have another blog called ComputingCorner for that but this time, I don’t feel like I can help myself. For Christmas I was lucky enough to get myself a brand new Macbook and I most admit that I love this thing. As a person that does computing and a little web designing this thing is prefect. It really has changed my life at University to have a working laptop in my lectures. The only thing that I have not enjoyed about this wonderful computer is the number of people that talk to me about it. I can’t seem to get it out of my bag without someone wanting to explain why their laptop is better. I am really am sick of it. The number of people that talk rubbish about Apple’s computers, is amazing. Some of these people have shocked me with what they think you can’t do or just sillyness. For example, you guy told me that you can not print on a Mac. I am sorry but WHAT! I have installed three printers on my macbook and have not had a single problem with any of them. In fact it was easier than installing a print on Windows. I have also heard that Macs are really slow, which is the stupidest thing I have ever heard as my macbook boots and runs faster than most high end Windows laptops.

Now you may as, oh, look just another Apple fanboy saying how much he loves his laptop. I have talked before about how much I hate the Iphone. I really hate Apple most of the time, the way that everything is closed off or locked down. But as computer makers, they can not be faulted. It just seems like the people who design Mac PCs use a computer and know what users what. They was things to work seemlessly together and not to have muck around to get things to work. For example, in the built in email client, Mail, when I installed my Gmail account to try it out, all I had to do was put in my email address and password then pessed enter. The settings for popular email services were already saved into the program. Whereas outlook, I still have to enter in the addresses of the servers.

Lots of people talk about the fact that there are no games for Mac’s which isn’t true as games like Gears of War and UT3 coming and there is also Halo. I don’t play PC games anymore anyway anyway, I have an Xbox 360.

To some up, I love my Macbook, but that doesn’t make me a fanboy. I just like having a well design, well thought out computer to use.

This is not the first time I have seen people on the internet with my name. For example the famous actor Jonathan Harris who was the star of the 1950s tv show Lost in Space. Their is also a British camera company called jonathanharris.co.uk. But this person with the same name seems to really both me. There is another guy out there that has my name and does exactly the same as me, making web sites. So I decided to read all of this guys site which is called number 27 and I must admit it a bit weird. It starts off with an odd personal statement about the Universe, which I personally think it rubish. Then it talks about some of the projects this guy has worked on. Some of this guys projects really put me to shame. I really like the Yahoo! Netrospective which is a selection the top 100 moments of the web from 1995 to 2005.

Well, all I can say is that my Portfolio looks much more interesting than Number27. Looking his bio, is was born in 1979, making him about 28 years old and has finished a degree in Computer science. So all this can mean for me that I have a bright future as I have lots more years to build up my design skills. So if you were searching for a different Jonathan Harris, free feel to contact me and give me ago, I am cheaper!

It includes some pieces that I am very proud. I created a E-bussiness for Introduction to Internet applications module of my first year on my University course. The content based on another site I created a year ago called Teeny T-shirts. But this site has fully functioning stock control system and error checking order form. There is also another site called Meta Computing, is a frame work for my own blogging software. I hope to make this software use AJAX and be completely portable so that those who can not fans of using WordPress and Movable Type have another opition. Lots of these work projects are hosted on this site as it is my kind of dumping grounds for all the little pieces of writtings and work I want to put on the internet.

If your interesting in hiring to create a web site for you, please fill out contact me. I do not give out free html advice, specially for modifying MySpace profiles. Pricing for any web site design is not based on any set price list and is based on the amount of developement time.

Most interesting is a product called Optimus keyboard (pictured left). Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment. Personally, I don’t think that I am going to be rushing out to get one just yet as, looking at the Art. Lebedev store, the prices that seem to start at $1400, which is a little out of my range. It is still very interesting to look around the everything part of the site and see all the idea they have.

There is also I never nice set of desktop backgrounds, which are entitled posters which are free to download and use on your own computer. Personally I love the background called, New directions and I used it as my background for many months.

It is nice to see stuff like this, with some much of the internet full of rubbish. Hope you enjoyed the site.
