So this week we have rolled out some new coding in the form of our audiocourses.com Geo-tag module. For those of you that do not spend as much time on the internet as us, geo-tagging is all the rage! Geo-tagging works in conjunction with googlemaps and is a means by which a user can pin point his/her location onto a world map.

The map has both map and satellite view, and in most areas can be zoomed down to see the cars on the street in your own road!

Once you have found your location on the map you can then leave a marker which will add your location and user profile page right onto the map! We will be updating the code very soon to allow you to add a profile picture and various other cool stuff.

For now if you are a registered member you can go tag yourself.

Happy tagging!

This has been one of the scariest weeks of my life Filled with two huge earthquakes. The second of which just finished, I felt the earth wobble beneath me it was so crazy imagine an entire country shaking and the neighbouring islands feeling the earthquake, the stories of my life.

Anywyas, back to the task at hand, this week my assignments takes me into the realm of consumer media and digital systems and I am supposed to answer the questions as if I were explaining to someone who is ignorant to the whole digital audio area, wish me luck in breaking things down into layman’s terms! ..lol

This week’s practical stays along the same line as last week’s practical the sound effect story, only now we are creating an audio track for a video clip.

The entire concept is quite interesting and thought provoking but why is the video clip one of the most intricate things that I have come across so far? Why

The answer is that George Lucas had something to do with it. To me he is like the Bill Gates of Film.

It does not help that I am not a Star Wars fan so I literally am making stuff up as I go along, the output should be very interesting.

If there were no Foley of light savers on the net I woulda surely died.

I am petrified for this one it’s really difficult for me as this is my first attempt at doing audio for video. Maybe if it were The Matrix or something, Keanu I understand, George Lucas I don’t. I am really gona have to rely on my imagination.

Anyways all of this being said, did I mention that this weeks questions are very intricate “Perceptual Coding Systems” geez

Lol it’s gona be a very long weekend.

I need divine intervention.
