Great Man – Nick Vujicic

On Wednesday the 1st of October 2009, I witnessed a video on a man who had no limbs. His name was Nick Vujicic. I watched at school a video about the life of Nick and how he handles new challeges.

He is so inspirational and by watching his videos and going to his website, he is a man with never ending faith in God. He spreads his joy and faith with others.

He has been on many tours spreading the faith in the lord and telling of his experience with no limbs.

Please watch this inspirational video that touched me and many others:

Thank you. If you are really inspired then you may want to Donate Money.

Youtube: Ball Drop Test

This is a Ball Drop Test in which me and my brother (blue = brother, orange = me) wanted to use film techonology to see which of our bouncy balls were better than the other. Note: We are quite competitive. See which ball bounces higher.

Changing from Yahoo to Gmail.

Finally, I chnaged my email address to Gmail.
I have to admit it was such a pain, first I had to remember that I had an account on Gmail, I first tried the tools provided by Google Gmail themselves. The importing tools didn’t work and after looking over the internet (oh wonderful internet) I found a solution, -it didn’t work. The mail and contact importer kept asking me for my correct password. I entered it in about 30 times it just continued prompting me that the POP3 server didn’t find a match to my email and password.

I then manually exported my contacts and imported them into Gmail, that worked. But the mail bit I was still very stuck in. I have (had) 177 messages but I painfully had to minimise the number to 5. ‘Woo’, just think about it: 177 to 5 messages… anyways, I ended up just forwarding my most valuable messages to the new email address.

I recieved them and opened them so that Gmail didn’t keep thinking that I still have 5 unread messages left in my Inbox!

At last I finished and customized my iGoogle home page. I’m using the ‘World of Warcraft’ theme. lol!

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with Media Centre!

My Media Centre Layout

I got my XBox 360 controller on the 31/12/08 and for people wondering I don’t have an Xbox or an Xbox 360 so I didn’t use an Xbox as an extender.

What I did was first I bought a combo that had in one box a controller and a PC compatible Recevier to connect the Wireless Controller to my Computer.

Then I found a program called Xpadder which allowed me to make a loadable profile of remapped keys.

Heres how I maped my keys:

I used Xpadder to map all the keys and it works great!
