Well, we’re getting there anyway. All of my six examinations are now over and i’m happy to report that I think I have done fairly well in all of them - despite what I told people before the exam. IPT was my last examination. Some may call it easy, and some may call it difficult. Those who called the exam easy (and boring - Hi Pradeep!) It was fairly easy, but its also going to be marked nice and hard too - especially with out teacher. I hope you all mentioned things like bitrate, and sample rate in relation to the audio compression question! I hope you also made mention of those nice “social and ethical” issues too! 
Now that the examinations are over I have about three weeks (well maybe a bit more) until we have our graduation ceremony. Then I am officially out of that shizzle hole! Well actually, I still have my Higher Schools Certificate (HSC) to complete, which begins o the 18th October, and runs through till the 11th November. It goes for such a long time because every testable subject that is taught at school is tested. I have 6 examinations in total, two of which are English. Whats worst? I have a whole week to study for a Geography exam! Whats going on there?!
Anyway, i’ve spent most of the weekend kind of relaxing whilst working on numerous things too. I have been working on the new MyBB website, whilst playing around with WordPress on seeing if I can do an implementation of it here. Don’t get me wrong, bBlog is awesome blogging software but right now it just lacks some things that I want in a blogging solution. Manly the fact that timezones are not implemented and it seems kind of stupid that my post dates are showing up on whatever the server time is set at. WordPress also has a huge user base and is becoming popular.
At first I knocked WordPress for its lack of a template system, as it pretty much uses PHP files for templates and I had got very used to the SMARTY template system of bBlog. After taking a look at the “template system” in WordPress I have changed my mind and my previous thoughts on it. Its very powerful to use, and it was still fairly easy for me to implement my layout in to and make necessary modifications. One thing I still do not like, and is proving a bit difficult is the lack of a “fully blown” plugin architecture. The current system works off included files and “hooks”. In bBlog it is as easy as placing the file in the directory, and editing the template, which can be a pain in the rear end for some things - but for things where my random quote plugin I have had to make custom modifications to WordPress because there are no hooks for something like that. If you know what I mean, because I get the feeling I could have just lost you in that paragraph!
I’m not sure what I will do about the blogging, because I really want to support bBlog as it has some great potential, but it is not currently up to what WordPress is, and development on bBlog seems to not be a priority. The plugins architecture for bBlog is exactly what I want and what I need, but WordPress has things that I deem a bit more important than a plugins system.
Life is soo confusing!
