Scare of the day: Seeing an advertisment on tv (Nickelodeon) of NEOPETS! Oh my gosh! I was so stunned! A commercial of NEOPETS on TV??!

Also, I want to make a monthly podcast. Problems:

- You can only use Podsafe Music. The database might be immense, but I simply can't find much music I like. Why? Because I like J-pop dammit! I only found some Kingdom Hearts and Love Hino mp3 on a Podsafe site. And somehow it still doesn't feel that is Podsafe. Come on.... Disney and giving something out free to use???!

- What to talk about? What would interest people?

I already made my first Podcast (for school; in DUTCH) here: http://eazyshare.net/files/40/PodcastK2.mp3

For my own monthly podcast, I have to find a hole in the laws of music-copyright. I always thought samples were free to use; meaning: 15 seconds of a song or so. Appearantly, even that is not allowed. Okay, part of me can understand that... but why can some big sites use samples of music?! You can't convince me they asked every single artist!

However, you are legally allowed to listen to music with your friends. And you are allowed to use music for your own practise.

So, technically, I am allowed to make a podcast with any music I like, on the condition I only listen to it with my friends. Because that's what the law states! I can listen to music with my friends!
However, some of my friends live not near me. If I want to listen to that same music with my friends, I need to send it to them. I'm not sending them a full copy of the song then. Just a sample. To encourage them to look for that music legally themselves. So we can enjoy the music together.

And well, not all my friends have huge e-mail boxes. Some don't even have MSN! And I'm not kidding about that! One of my High School Friends doesn't have MSN! And sending big files from hotmail isn't that handy as well!

So.... I go to a File Uploader. Like eazyshare.net . I post it on there, so my friends can download it. That's a lot easier because not all my friends are online on the same time. Some live in the USA, some live in Scotland, some live in The Netherlands. Time zone stuff and all.

So in order to create a podcast (for PERSONAL USE, and PRACTISE) and to listen to it with my friends (because that is allowed!!!) I have no other choice than to upload it and send them the link to download it.

Now to find a loophole so I can make a Podcast blog..... Maybe to use it so I can archive my practise and all. It's personal use, but blogs can be accessed by others..... I need to find a loophole for that.

It seems.... It's INDEED Option 1!

Woot!

Just 4 essays left! 3 almost done!! 1 I will start today! WOOT!!!!

Minor Edit: Hi Stevo! Hi K2!! (K2; you should know I am meaning you! We talked at school today! ;) )

My, I must say....

early this week, I got an e-mail. I didn't know where it was from, but the title was Re:Klacht (Re:Complaint), the same as the mail I got the week before... from the guy who insulted me in that store and who apologised by e-mail.
I doubted; should I delete it or not? I mean, where could it be from? Could it be a virus? But, I clicked anyway (I usually delete what I don't know XD) and what does it say:

'Miss Ocean,

I apologise for the behaviour of my employee, and I adressed him on this matter. I hope you accept my apologies....'

.......I was stunned! I got a 'personal' e-mail from the BOSS of that employer that insulted me! I was so... so... I felt so... respected and like my opinion indeed mattered.
Then I noticed a little line:

'I hope you are satisfied with how we dealt with this matter.'

And this is what I replied back; in a short version: "The way you dealt with the complaint deserves my respect and compliments! I truely appreciate what you did!"

And I have more news! Le Gasp! Is it even possible??! (Btw, the layout from this page shall most likely be changed soon again *rolls eyes* I can't stand it that it doesn't look right on other pc's!)

Today I made recordings with my digital camera for school. And suddenly; POOF! The screen was black and didn't want to change any more. Immediately I started worrying: ARGH! What if I need a new Digital Camera??!
But no worries peeps, rest assure.... the solution was..... charging the battery again. XD

Yes, I know! I know! You may laugh XD Loud XD Okay... not THAT loud! Sjeesh! You're making me deaf!!

What more... yes, there is more news!! Appearantly, I have a new grade on my gradeslist. This could mean:

Option 1) It's that meeting-bla-bla which I had for about 26 weeks (13 times), which was a type A project, which has been converted into a type B project. I already have all my Type A grades, but I was kinda told to do this project as well, which would mean extra work what would not count. But now, that work has been converted into another type, which means.............. 4 essays left (3 almost done!)! (In fast Dutch: Supervisie was een Differentatie Module die ik extra deed, maar wat is nu omgezet in een Kernactiviteit waar ik nog een punt voor nodig had.)

Option 2) The website I made (with Uumie) has already been graded, which means, 4 essays left: 2 Type B (kernactiviteiten), and 2 other ones (almost done).

I am leaning to Option 1, since the closing date for the website (option 2) is July 5th, and I got this grade on June 8th, when this teacher had not seen the website yet. Also, the teacher from that meeting-bla-bla mentioned that this Type A project would count as a type B project (which was June 8th...).

Can you still follow me???! Probably not, but think like this.
Option 1) Meaning I only have 1 essay I truely have to start on, the other 3 are almost finished.
Option 2) Meaning I have 2 essays to start, and from 1 I don't know a subject yet (I can pick the subjects myself). 2 Other essays are almost done.

Option 1 would rule. I mailed the woman who does all stuff with the grades, and hope she says option 1. Oh, I SO hope option 1.... but I shouldn't get my hopes up. I've had some misfortune, so yeah.... XD

Please let it be Option 1.......

Btw: FY typo-proofreading: 14/75 done!
