uGeeka's Blurbs

About uGeeka
My name is Nate, and I just so happen to be in my early twenties.
Twenty-three to be exact.

I call the South-east of Australia my home.
Melbourne, Victoria for the geographically challenged.
Not by choice, but circumstance.

I spent most of my younger years growing up on the Mornington Peninsula.
But am currently living in Carrum Downs, in the South-Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.

I am what some may call a geek, with operative word being 'Geek' rather than 'Nerd'.
I believe there is a distinct difference between the two.
While both may be considered knowledgeable in all things techy and inter-netty,
one may be considered a little more suave in a natural environment.

My interests lie in Technology, Computers, The Internet, Music, Landscaping, Graphic Design & Web Design.

I am a young, enthusiastic designer with interests in Graphic Design, Print Media Design, Web Design & Development, Advertising, and Marketing. I currently have no formal qualifications, but have intentions of completing some kind of degree through Open Universities, online.

I don't get much time to design much these days, am pretty busy working and my little girl, Isabelle came into the world on the 28th of April, busy busy busy!!

I have over four years experience in design, first being taught in 2005 by a graphic designer friend of mine. I soon after developed an interest in web design when I wanted to find a way to combine my love for both Graphic Design, and the Internet. Soon given a head start by web designer friend and mentor, Colin Olsen.

I began creating websites with basic HTML, then soon after incorporating the use of CSS.
I am now creating websites with the use of XHTML, PHP, and of course, CSS.
Although my knowledge of these scripting languages is not very high,
I have a keen interest in learning much, much more.

Never the less, I am, and always will be, a uGeeka.

Ok, so it's been a darn long time..

Ok, so it's been a darn long time since I've posted, or actually been on Artician. So what's new with me... My life has been up and down all year. Since the miscarriage of my twin babies in April, the relationship with my partner has been on and off constantly. I've moved from place to place, only to settle into somewhere in July. I've been in...

Intercrap Explorer bug. As usual.

So, here I am, finally fixing a bug I had with the drop-down menus on the re-development/re-design of my website. Thinking to myself "awesome, it's working!" Only to load it in internet explorer, and it's screwed. Me not knowing all that much about CSS and DIV's, I am a little stuck on how to fix it. Anyone care to help? Please? lol...

Blogging = Mindf*ck

I've been trying to find a decent CMS (Content Management System), for free. Luck? Not much. Possibly I just don't know the right places to look. I also wanted a decent blogging system, so I opted for WordPress, and thought I'd look into making my own theme for it, to match the website I had created. Two words = MIND FUCK. Please excuse the...

It's bound to shit it's self sooner or later..

Every time I start up my computer, it makes one hell of a horrible, extremely loud noise.. Hear it for yourself: d530c-noise.mp3 *Make sure you turn your speakers up a little. So I decided to take the covers off and have a look to see how bad the dust situation is.. And my god, all of the fans are full of shit, especially the Power Supply. Now...
