While finding out about how to setup a wordpress site to a custom domain name, I came across Tumblr which in comparison to wordpress I beleive is better on a number of factors including, ease of use, ease of setting up a custom domain name and fuctionality e.g. i can post a wider variety of material, a big thing that i like about it though is the feature to add my own html which comes in handy when i want to add web badges for other websites i use quite frequently such as Flickr and Twitter so this is probably the last blog post on this site, though i will still keep it running or if I can I will find a way to redirect this to my New Site so thats it for now !

Last week i purchased a 500GB Western Digital Mybook external hardrive for my mac i would reccomend this product to anyone who is looking for a secure quality back up/storage drive at a fair price, i purchased mine from amazon.co.uk at a reduced price along with a d’link 7 port USB Hub for £83 Here In comparison to my lacie porsche its wisdom quite and has a cooler temperature when functioning, over all quality is great and a good deal at that price.

In exactly 2 weeks from now I’ll be leaving the UK to go on a 1 week trip to Russia with my school as a History trip, We will ariive in Moscow and stay there for 3 days, while here we will visit the Kremlin, Red square, St Bazils cathedral, Lenins tomb and not to forget the Moscow State circus, then straight away from here we will catch an overnight 8-9 hour train which we can sleep on to St Petersburg from here we will also see many other Fantastic sights, Ive already started packing and since ive Recently bought my Fujifilm S5700 it’ll be the perfect chance to geek out, If anyone on Twitter follows me then i will try to update where there is signal in airports, hotels and such.

Thats it for now though, Ill post my review of the new Camera when i return and I’ll be aiming to turn this into less of a personal blog to more of a review site, So Dasvidania Comrades !

If you are a social network kind of person, or who just likes myspace then you may have noticed the blatantly obvious graphic redesign of the website

i think that this is a slight improvement and makes it look more modern in my perspectives though i do not think it will ever be up to the standards of facebook (facebore) or Bebo, wether this be because of crummy html themes or not very useful user interface, though these are only my thoughts and opinions, i hope to blog again soon as i have end of term science exams and a production at the theater going on, so look forward to more in the summer

Recenly or maybe since i installed the 10.5.3 leopard update on my mac, everytime i attempt to log into my aim account on ichat, it freaks out, connecting and disconnecting until it time out giving me this message, this then makes my aim account unusable for the next 10-20 minutes, i think the problem lies with ichat because when my account becomes usable again, it works fine on Adium, if anyone else has this problem or any advice on why its happening and how i can fix it leave comments thanks

using the software Gawker, i made this time lapse of what i did this afternoon, there you go!

Recently at theatre i was asked to come down to the junior group to help with the forthcoming production *sinbad the sailor* and the second half being a *cover of the dances from grease with some dialogue* the latter of these confuses me but ill do it anyway, i got cast for the Wazir who is the town leader or some kind of high authority figure in Constantinople where be the play is set, im not going to reveal the plot or anything of that sort, good luck to everyone in the production, i mean *break a leg* and to the people in the junior group taking the Bronze arts award, thats it for now, watch this space!

Hey, since im a total geek i thought id get into some more coding but just starting with HTML (hyper text markup language) and  CSS (cascading style sheets), i thought id learn these since in the future i would like to take this site to a .co.uk or a .net so i decided to see what it was i was doing, id like to soon enough come up with my own style sheet and theme for this site just to make it that bit more different funny enough theres a picture of a book i bought below like when i bought the mac osx leopard guide which is unavailable since it was on my old site, though i would reccomend this book to anyone who wants to learn this kind of stuff, the official name is “HTML A Beginner’s Guide Third Edition” by “Wendy Willard” and also covers CSS and Javascript thats it for now cya ! 

A project ive been working on since the end of feburary is complete, as my freinds, flickr or twitter followers may know, i went on a ski trip to tremblant, quebec, canada in febuary 08 and got some footage and photos which can be found on the widget to the right>>>>>>>>>

so now ive decided to change my wordpress.com blog to karlroberts.wordpress.com instead of karlstyle.wordpress.com since it makes it a easier way to remember the url and since i was having some difficulty with my flickr widget and was kinda stuck so i went for a fresh start ill update this more as it goes on cya !
