okay, reviews

I love Google, I love Chrome, I love Android and I love games.

So welcome to the violet room's review season.

Over the rest of the summer break, I will be focusing on reviews, protip's and recommendations here in the violet room and in some cases on my youtube channel

I'm also thinking of making a new youtube channel for these types of videos as a lot of the stuff on my current channel is pretty sucky. I will post links if I do so.

If you want to make sure you don't miss any posts, you can follow this blog or alternatively you can like the h0110wPeTaL facebook page or follow me on twitter (links in the sidebar)

At the moment I shall be in the middle of a lot of frantic posting, video making and tee shirt designing. This will last as long as I can keep up the pace, but this is unlikely to continue after the start of febuary.

Please make recommendations for anything you would like to hear another opinion on.

Thanks for your continued support,
Hollow

ICT in schools [Part 2] aka. why I hate my school

Just spent another 20 minutes learning about how my school wants me to learn. So I was sitting there putting my time to an actual practical use, instead of sitting and filling in a paper timetable that I would most likely never look at again. I decided to organise my timetable that is on my HTC android, the teacher walked past and saw me twiddling on my phone. To which he commented and I quote "organising your time is more important than texting" as he indicated at the timetable in front of me. To which I replied that I was not texting and in fact I was reorganizing the calendar on my smartphone... he let me do my thing. But I must comment that for a school that prides itself on using and teaching technology it seems to do very little of either.
This is most defiantly not the first time that a teacher has told me off for using productive and helpful technology in class. Another example is in my English class we were told to get out our planners, so hence I pulled out my old phone, a blackberry. And started typing in her instruction, my English teacher harshly told me off. I explained that this was my PDA and I was doing what she asked, she exclaimed that I could have asked/told her that I used a PDA over a planner. I had done that with all of my teachers, including her at the start of the year. What I failed to mention to all of them was how much of a fool I felt as I did so, its hard doing something different than everyone else at my school, especially in regards to technology. There is only one teacher who is qualified in I.T. and there are few who even understand the basic "have you tried turning it on and off again" and the "is it plugged in" rules. The teacher who was/is the I.T. manager of the school (according to a reliable source) actually caused the school server crash (not intranet or internet) and it took the I.T. dept. A week to fix whatever they did.
Maybe the school should focus on keeping their teachers upto date with technology before they start making exaggerated claims about their "wonderful techsavvey" school.

Release Times

Term is going to be back in a bit over a week and I have homework to do that I have put off for the last week, so I have been thinking I need a plan for when I am going to be releaseing videos and writing blog posts (twitter will still be as often as possible) So this is my rough plan for when my stuff will come out on the net. It may be changed slightly if I get too busy or the days are not working for people.

Monday - Fallout NV walk through video

Tuesday - Blog post

Friday - Misc. Video (could be a real life video, game walk through, game tips and tricks, unboxing or nothing)

Sunday - Every second Sunday I am going to try an release a "who is this person? - H0110wPeTaL" but only if I can get enough interviewers and if it doesn't get too boring (for me, as I am not getting enough views to gain what public interest is, compared to my other videos)

Hopefully I can prepare all of this in advance so even if I am having a busy week I can still do all this. But I will post an update if I can't.

So how was your day?

I have a deal with my dad, if I clean my room and do a few other chores then he will give my my dream keyboard, The Razer Lycosa. Mirror version! and a 16gb microSD card. Today I was sick though so I didn't do much of my room (if you were watching my twitter you would know it was a migraine) but tomorrow and maybe Thursday that will be the main thing I will be doing, I will try to keep tweeting, but if the Interweb is distracting me too much then I will stop. So if I just drop out then don't worry!

New header

To celebrate my return, I have made a brand new header.
New borderlands video tutorial should be uploaded tomorrow. it is about using dying to your advantage (or more precisely using lying on the ground bleeding to death to your advantage)
I have also added a new bar to the right side of this page with all of the websites that I am a member of, feel free to chk them out and/or follow me on them. I highly recommend following my facebook page, I add updates on everything important I do or achieve over on any of my other sites and in real life as well. so following that should keep you up-to date with every thing I am doing. Twitter is where I spend most of my time and if is most likely the easiest was to contact me. I also have an email address H0110wPeTaL@gmail.com if you want to contact me about anything, an idea for a video, to politely criticize me or to tell me something I should know. Please do

You tube exitement
