Huzzah...or something...

So's I passed my hazard perception test, got told I suck at perceiving threats even though the video I was forced to watch was only at like 200pixels for an entire 16 inch screen, shadows were like black ominous holes you couldn't see under, and motorbikes were able to hide behind vans with relative ease(though I guessed that one)
Meh crappy quality tests aside I got Wednesday off this week due to a teacher phoning in sick, unfortunately I didn't find out till I was sitting out side the room in the morning with limited to no means of getting out of town and back home.
I gotta say my teachers are all good, though I still haven't met one of them, my programming teacher. Also my course focuses on web design, networking, programming and more project management(*sigh), also I have a friend this time in this class who more then knows a lot of computer stuff being a completed 2nd year computing university student and all that.
Comic news, page four will be up on Saturday, probably as soon as I finish it, and I will start doing page five shortly after. Page five is fairly action heavy so I'll see how I go with that page, I'm very certain as I start to get a little better I'll get faster as well, also I'm planning on updating the main character's look soon as I work on it, as I was able to finally borrow out the books that helped inspire me to start drawing Newstory, and well start drawing as it had some of the best example pictures I could possibly ask for. I've also borrowed out a how to draw martial arts in manga type book thing, so it will hopefully help as well.
When I get more proficient at web design I will work on making the proper Newstory page rather then what I currently have.
Computer news, I finally upgraded my old 17' LCD monitor for a brand spanking new 20' widescreen, only problem is my graphics card seems to only support up to 1280 by 800 resolution, when the monitor itself can go up to 1680 by 1050, so a little annoying.
Car news(geez I got a bit of this news ting), I agreed to purchase my parents 2005 holden commodore equip at the end of year, when I will hopefully have a job(better then the farm) somewhere and be earning money of some sort.
So I currently owe my parents for the new monitor and I will be owing them for the car. I don't have any money and I'm already agreed to be in debt for $14000 by the end of year, add onto that my $6000 HECs fee, and well 20K is a great figure to be owing by the end of the year.
whoa more figures...um fix that with some random nonsense of some...damn got nothing
Oh and Mortigi what's the maximum bandwidth that's allowed for the server?(not that I even dent it)
sayonara folks!

And sumthing!

I missed another update time thingy, its annoying, but I really have had a bit of trouble with the latest page (and its only page four) but anywhos, I'm hoping I don't make a trend of these fortnights to do one comic in, I vwanna get better at the drawing, better at the pacing, better at the narrative so I'm bound to hit a few hurdles and stuff as I start, and I really wanna hit about a page a week or even two, I know I could if I put more effort in and spent more time on my drawing, but yeah real life sucks.
I started my course today, and so far it looks like it's either going to be very fun, or mind numbing in its complexity, but hey that's how I like it...I guess, and doing well in this course may well allow myself to get a decent job out of it.
Also I have organised my hazard perception test, so I can start working towards getting my license, and hopefully get it before they bring in the dreaded green P. Here's hoping!
Other then that hmm...nup haven't got much to say, so

sayonara folks!
