New band, new site
I’ve been making myself busy the whole of this week, trying to build a speedy site for a this indie band, Crown of Thorns, as they call themselves. I don’t usually do sites for free, but seeing that they needed some kind of publicity, and don’t have any money, I decided, why not la, I’ll just whip up something simple. I decided to just use Blogger since it’s free and doesn’t have much limitations, very customisable in terms of the template as well.

Research done at last
unimas lab Originally uploaded by Leona. I finally got my data collected for my research! It had taken about half a year since the last upset but now it’s finally done! Praise God! Anyways, it was funny how God put everything together for me. Some time ago, I had approached many universities to no avail, so my sister had helped my out by introducing my to a lecturer from UNIMAS. But as mentioned in my June’s post, something happened and the whole thing got screwed up and I couldn’t get my data from UNIMAS. However, after a while I managed to contact another lecturer who dillied dallied with me for…
