Here i played with radio buttons, drop down box , text area and a button. When everything is filled out or selected and submit is clicked the answers will be printed on the screen. Pretty basic but it works.
Week 2 assignment:
HTML and PHP used.

Here we have a video of Shawn with a comic dialog box overlay. The textbox is used to enter text and when submit is pressed the text appears inside the comic dialog box.

Same concept here except we use a video which is being broadcast live.
One problem i faced was overlaying the images on top of other objects. This was over come with the following tag
<div id=”movie” style=”position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 0;”> by setting the z-index = 0 layers can be added to the page.
code for embedding video :
<div id=”movie” style=”position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index: 0;”>

JamNow :
http://www.jamnow.com/Default.aspx
This is a social music site which allows to people to jam remotely. Different users who play different instruments can come together and jam together to create music. This jam session can also be broadcasted live.
The jamnow application has to be installed before use and it is relatively simple if you know how to use a basic sound editing tool. I found that its a cool idea but there are hardly any users online to jam with or even listen to. The user can also listen to radio shows created by other people live.But here also i was not able to as all the stations where offline. Each user or radio station also has a profile. The profile layout is kind of an exact rip off of a myspace profile. Like anyother social site it has a message board and news about indie
IRC :
So after a very long time i got back on the chat wagon. I installed mIRC and started using it. It was good for a change but sorry to say its so 1990’s. I can see how it could have been fun and an easy way to communicate with random unknown people, but in this day where user generated content is huge using irc is like taking a couple of steps backwards. I feel with todays technology chat is nolonger a means of entertainment or a way to connect with people, rather a simple add on to much bigger applications such as facebook or gmail. Its more about sharing pictures and videos. Also today its more about profile pages rather than having a nickname to represent a person.
