hi there!
I see you've stumbled on to my humble home on the net, Drive:Activated. My name's Sam, I'm an ambitious and driven uni student, residing in Melbourne, Australia, wanting to make my mark on our world. This is my site, which is mainly just my blog and some other bits. There's no definite theme to my blog, just anything that interests me, and currently that's web trends, startups, ideas and cool stuff. Check it out, leave me a comment, click on 'Who is this?' to find out more about me, or drop me a line by clicking on 'Let's Talk'. Hope you enjoy it!

Wow, it's nearly been a month since I last posted here. As you have probably guessed if you've read my recent entries, uni started this month, and has kept me fairly busy. Not so much the work (it's been pretty easy so far), but more the transport, socialising, and my resolution not to skip...

Last week MODM was on again - the crowd included a heap of guys from the hippo.com.au job website, the Australian Anthill guy, a heap of web devs, plus a few RMIT entrepreneurship students, not to mention the regulars. Dave from Hippo dropped me a note (where else but facebook) to say my website wasn't...

It seems I had let some bugs slip through the cracks - some big ones too. The RSS feed for my blog is now fixed, as are the tag browsing pages. If you're using a web-based feed reader, you might have gotten a heap of duplicates as I fixed the feed - sorry, it shouldn't happen from now on. Some...

This post will concentrate on the technical side of things behind Drive:Activated 2.0. As I mentioned in the previous post, I upgraded to Community Server 2007 for Drive:Activated 2.0. The first thing I noticed was that although it threw out a lot of the stuff I had learnt previously, theming was so...

So here it is, the new design that had been promised for so long, complete with the 2.0 designation . The previous design irked me a bit, and while it was only a few months old, I decided to try a different design strategy. This new design is designed to fix the annoying bits of the old one. For this...

Exam period at uni begins next month, running from the 7th til the end of the month so pre-exam study guilt is starting to creep up. Posts here will probably be a bit slow, or even non-existent, depending on how dire my unit knowledge is. The situation could be quite bad (I haven't dared look) because...

If there are any long-term readers (there has to be at least one, right? ), you may have noticed a small decline in the number of posts here from the end of March til now. Check out the archive count on the right to see what I'm talking about. Now all together, say 'Why Sam, what's happening?' I'm glad...

Welcome The Local readers! For those who don't know what I'm talking about: (preserved here as a trophy ; thanks Anthony for the shoutout, and Scienta for telling me!) Wow, what started off as a side project a few months ago has certainly grown a lot! I'm actually in the process of completing a fairly...
