5Ks: Yeah I'd love to help you with your Band-101.
However It's going to take me some time.
I've got lots of other stuff on my plate at the moment.
What I could maybe start doing is just a mock up for page templates based on what you've already got online. Sound alright?
It's an odd design, So i'm gonna have to have a bit of a think about how it can be re (or better) done. So watch this space.

Trea: I'm currently working as part of a contract for a Gov Department (but, in light of recent events, I get a feeling they are going to offer me a permanent position soon).
At my level, There's a base rate of about $56,500 pa. Up to about 62k.
Then divide this by 2000 to get an estimated hourly rate.
But bare in mind this is a wage. If you're doing actual contract work and getting paid by the hour then you can expect to be paid alot more.

The first couple of web design jobs I did I hardly got paid anything. well, the first one I did was for free. I never really got the oppertunity to do any personal paid jobs. So it's fantastic that you are getting that oppertunity.

What you could just do is ask a set amount for a finished product.
Maybe like a 10 page html brochure site for $200. Or something like that.

It takes a while to work your way up to the higher paid jobs.
But once you get a reputation it then becomes very easy.

Hehe, I was actually using it as an example of how silly it is to ask for help changing something but without wanting to change anything :p but if you could help with the site then that'd be great, but if it's gonna mess with your work then don't worry about it!

Can anyone help me please? :(.

And Chris that's a TONNE for someone your age :eek:.

My red audio mics came.
It's such a bargain.

the two overheads and kick cost £260 alone.
You get the set for £295

With
2 overheads
1 kick
4 snare/tom mics
2 shockmounts
4 drumrim clamps
and 3 (yes 3) steel rivetted lockable flightcases.

Awesome.

Woo! More stuff arrived. Now I have Sonar Producer 5, guitar rig 1, plenty of enclosed headphones, a refurbished crt monitor, a monitor riser and red audio mics! woo woo!

Not that it's much use now, but still, just found this:

About 2/3 of the way down the page there's a comparison of the Red5 Drum Mic Set and an AKG set. God the AKG's sound awful. Guess I just thought it may inspire you to get them set up:p

Hehe already seen em :p I dunno why the AKG's sounded so...awful though. Tis weird!

i wish i had a job so i could feel rich like you guys

First day back today :). Twas good but I was going off of 2 hours of sleep :gah:

thanks gav my spirits are raised.

:p.

A SAC due first day of yr 11?
Ah-WHAT?!?

Anyway, I assume it's too late to be of any help, so how'd it go?

That's a pretty good wage Chris. My dad doesn't get that (well the p/a amount anyway) for all his 43 years teaching experience...
Thanks for the advice there :).

Teachers are very much under-appreciated.

Truth.

Man I'm tired. Stayed up late trying to finish my composition on time last night. I finished it but then I didn't have the time to record/put it into midi. Gah.

Found a funny site

[url]www.sizzlefizzle.com[/url]

IT's a nice idea: earn money for uploading your songs, enter competitions with cash prizes, etc.

However, I'd trust them slightly less than I could throw them. And I have weedy arms indeed.

Haha, interesting.

Cool little sunset we've got happening outside here... I studied for 4 hours today... that's about it for today's news.

/exciting stuff

Hmm, VCE conflicts with guitar too much.

[QUOTE=Aes820]Teachers are very much under-appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Not as much as cops.

I'm the only one that waves to cops when they drive past out of everyone I know. I mean, people wave to firefighters, don't they?

im gona be a cop


i jus tried hired a dvd and went to take it out the cover and it snapped clean in 2

wtf will i have to pay for this ****

That's coz everyone knows the fireys... well around here anyway.

But yeah, there are a lot of people that go unappreciated. I guess it'll always be the case in some form or another.

How's school going Gav?

sloEDIT: Argh massive bummer, Ben. What was it?

So I figured I may aswell tell you about my night before school started.

My brother was going out so the plan was for him to wake me when he got home (3~5am) when he was with his friends and we would chill out for the rest of the night.

At 10:30 I went to bed, I thought I might aswell get some sleep before they woke me. I didn't get to sleep until 1am (you know the feeling? When you've changed your body clock so much etc etc) and then my bro and just one of his friends (Chad) woke me at 3:40am. I was sleeping naked with my as[size=2]s[/size] poking out of the covers - needless to say they took a picture.

So they woke me up and we were chilling out in our garage playing pool and all that jazz when at about 4am my bro said "Gav, why don't you crack an Asahi? (japanese beer)" so I was like "why not" and grabbed one for myself and one for Chad. I ended up having 6 beers between 4am and 6am - a nice start to school.

At 5:45 my bro pussied out and went to bed, but I needed company so Chad said he'd stay up with me until I went to school. We went inside to play PS2 and came across one of my po[size=2]rnos[/size] and decided to watch it. We did, which was fun and then decided to play Need For Speed: Hot Pursuits II. That got boring fast so we played Virtua Tennis 2 until about 6:30 when I showered/got ready/etc and he went to bed.

Good times!

From here it looks like I might have to go into work on Saturday.
To get some stuff finished off for the top-brass who expect the most out of the shortest time frames.
But I get paid a sh!t-tin of overtime so I guess it'll be worth it.
It's just some graphic work, to finish off and print up a big A2 poster chart thing.

gav you are by far the most awesome austrialian ever.

Oh you're too kind.

Haha, dam, Chris and I lose out.

Fantastic start to school dude. I would've been stuffed :p.

:cool:

I won't IMG tag these just 'cause.. well they're large.

[URL="http://i1.tinypic.com/n3m1xc.jpg"]I drew "Chad" and a heart in lighter fluid and lit it with my zippo =).[/URL]

I just scored myself a dining table.
Got it off a bloke.
I paid for it with a case of crownies.
And the deal was that when we go over to pick up the dining table, we sit around and chat while we drink half the crownies.

Edit:

I heard a few yarns about my old man as well.
Stories from back when he was younger.
And it's not until now when I hear these stories that I realise how much of a ratbag he was, and am amazad that I turned out semi-alright.

He nearly had to have his leg amputated as a result of him being sillybuggers. Amongst other various injuries.
He went hitch-hiking when he was 13 and got picked up by a peadophile - and had to try to fight his way out of that one, he did.
Then chased off another peadophile who was giving him and a mate of his a hard time.
Plus I hear all about what Homebush Bay was like before they built the olympics on it.

Interesting.

ANOTHER EDIT:
That's an interesting photo there Gav.
I did a bit of sick in my mouth when i saw it.

Very nice.
