Yes the title is the truth, it does not lie! As I write this I am actually engaged in work. When I say work, I do not mean for myself or for university (although it does count towards my courses and it has been organised by uni). I am in fact at my internship and have a short period of time to right this as I am way ahead of the work they assign me. I know, it's amazing.
I'm stationed in an old electrical substation in Paddington (a trendy suburb north of the city in Brisbane). The company I am working for is called Artworker's Alliance and they arrange artistic ventures in Brisbane from workshops to exhibitions. This is an amazing opportunity for me as the two places I wanted to work were in gaming multimedia or local art community and I'm surprised to reach either of those fields so quickly. The substation itself is amazing and when I get home I will post some pictures of how pretty it is.
The work itself is interesting, although it wears me out so so quickly. Their website has been built from four seperate developer's ideas and is split between CSS, HTML, SQL and some file formate called TPL which I have never seen before (but seems to contain php code). In order to actually search the website's code in order to change things I had learn some new techniques such as using a program called Agent Ransack. This Agent is my best friend with the ability to search the code of any file from .exe to .jpg. I have to thank him for being so wonderful.
The actual website I am working on is here and that text down in the footer that has the address? That took me four hours to find in their database. I almost fell asleep while doing that, but it was still worth it.
In other news tomorrow I begin my work in the 48 hours game making competition. I am intending to keep at least a vague blog up as I work at Anger Issues Interactive but who knows how it will pan out. To be honest I am a little terrified about the prospect of this competition, but we will see how it goes.
Due to this competition this week's weekly web roundup will be canceled though =( Sorry guys.
