Project 02 Final Night- Part 3 OR: Project 02 Final Morning

So I've learned my lesson in regards to trying to access servers from abroad.  I'm not entirely sure what the lesson is, but I now know at least to try from not-Vic networks, because there seems to be some firewall blocking my connections.  As with project 01, I ended up having to FTP my files to a friend, who then assisted me in uploading them to my webpage.  I've been able to reach my domain from coffee houses and hostels in NZ, but the Vic network is a no-go.  But the project is finished.  While not as flashy as my previous website in terms of interaction, I think the layout and design of this site is much better.  Plus I wrote it all myself in HTML!  Learning learning learning.  Spent a good couple hours reading HTML tutorials online, but I actually really enjoyed that.  Here is the URL:


I'm excited to present this in a few hours!  I hope honesty ranks higher than procrastination in terms of marks... but I really have enjoyed the crazy ride this project has been mentally.  After changing my mind many times I finally settled on a final product that I am proud of.  Now time for project 3, which is way more my kind of work!  I'm looking forward to it!

Oh, and one more thing.  We weren't able to access my individual server due to me being abroad and the registrar changing my password and what not (totally unrelated from me not being able to access the school's server), so the website is temporarily being hosted on my friend Ryan Oliveria's page.  The link on the website does still link to my portfolio, however, and the project will eventually join all my others there  Maybe after I give my portfolio site a much needed face lift. :)
