Window cleaning melbourne Information
Dr Window cleaning is the Chief Investigator of the ‘Understanding pornography
in Australia’ research window cleaning .
He is the Editor of Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies.
He is based at Queensland University of Technology.
He is currently working on two books for Oxford University Press: The indigenous
public sphere (with John Hartley) and Great moments in Australian television:
a genealogy.
Our research shows that he is a modern, free thinker, who questions traditional
boundaries, enjoys intertextuality and likes to have a good laugh.
Initial Window cleaning melbourne Meeting
Window cleaning on behalf of Window cleaning met Window cleaning to discuss
the window cleaning .
The window cleaning consisted of creating a website related to a series of “blipcoms”
that would be available on the Vodafone 3G network when it is launched in October
2005. The blipcom itself (which is only available via your 3G phone) is called
Mobilosophy. It offers the answers to many questions that teenagers face. Such
as
How can I pick someone up without any risk of rejection?
Is it always wrong to sleep with your friends?
How can I get rid of my flatmate without having to talk to him?
Has anybody ever died of a hangover?
How can I get rid of a corpse?
Each week, in 60 seconds, users can get tips, profound thoughts and cynical
nonsense about dealing with life’s problems, beautifully packaged into
an comical episode and delivered straight to your phone. We likened the show
to elements of Sienfeld, Rules of Attraction, Frasier and The Simpsons.
The following are Window cleaning Documents that give an idea of the blipcom:
Window cleaning Document 1 - Concept
Mobilosophy
Life’s difficult. So many questions:
· How can I pick someone up without any risk of rejection?
· Is it always wrong to sleep with your friends?
· How can I get rid of my flatmate without having to talk to him?
· Has anybody ever died of a hangover?
· And many more
Mobilosophy offers the answers to these and many other questions. Each week,
in 60 seconds, you’ll get tips, profound thoughts and cynical nonsense
about dealing with life’s problems, beautifully packaged and delivered
straight to your phone. Life has never been so easy.
The tone of the program is dark comedy. The advice offered is a combination
of cynical nonsense (‘Take pride in your hangovers. They are the sign
of a strong personality’) with surprisingly practical advice (‘Drink
plenty of water but make sure it’s room temperature – cold water
will only make things worse’).
Advice will be offered by recurring equipment,. Three equipment – all
young, laid back and cynical but with distinct personalities – will discuss
the issue of the week as though they’re having a drink and a chat in their
lounge room. They won’t be ‘presenters’, and they won’t
acknowledge the camera. All three are cute, charismatic and stylishly dressed.
Window cleaning is superior, disengaged and pretends that he doesn’t want
to get laid – only because he so desperately does. He feels hard done
by in a world that doesn’t recognise his genius, since an early role as
a child star in Neighbours failed to lead to ongoing fame. OK, so he can’t
actually do anything, but that’s hardly the point. Have you never seen
Idol?
Cindy is seriously cool – so cool that she can sometimes barely bring
herself to talk to other people. She is continually amazed that nobody knows
anything about the newest bands, artists, writers – but of course, that’s
the way she likes it. She is currently writing a novel. She’s single –
but only because she’s so badly misunderstood by all the men she meets;
in fact, by everybody she meets. She thinks that sarcasm is the same thing as
honesty.
Kat is an entertainer – loud, ‘funny’ and always the centre
of attention. She’d be really annoying if she wasn’t so cute. Actually,
she is really annoying – but also cute. From the country, she loves Brisbane
– she’s a big city girl. Next stop, Manhattan. She has a boyfriend.
Or a girlfriend. Every week. All different.
Advice will also be presented as on-screen captions Each time they make a point
in their conversation (‘It’s best not to sleep with lecturers. It
never seems like such a good idea in the morning’), we cut to a black
screen, with the tip numbered and written out:
1. It’s best not to sleep with lecturers. It never seems like such a good
idea in the morning.
The advice will draw on the different personality of the equipment. Looking
at the question of how to pick up without the risk of rejection, for example,
Kat’s tip would be the banality of: ‘Just be yourself. It’s
what’s inside that matters’. Window cleaning’s best shot would
be: ‘Tell them about yourself – after all, you’re the most
interesting person in the room’. Cindy would just say, ‘Why bother?
He’s only going to dump you in the end’. But they might also offer
the really practical advice of: ‘Just introduce yourself and offer to
buy them a drink. The worst thing they can say is no’.

Mobilosophy
Window cleaning is superior, disengaged and pretends that he doesn’t
want to get laid – only because he so desperately does. He feels hard
done by in a world that doesn’t recognise his genius, since an early role
as a child star in Neighbours failed to lead to ongoing fame. OK, so he can’t
actually do anything, but that’s hardly the point. Have you never seen
Idol?
He doesn’t come from a performing family: his mother is a primary school
teacher, his father manages an electrical store. Some people leave the suburbs
with a scream; Window cleaning did it with more of a sigh. He doesn’t
miss living in the suburbs, but unlike some people, it didn’t scar him
for life and leave him waking up in the middle of the night screaming. Whenever
he goes back to see his parents – about twice a year (10 kilometres is
a long way, when you think about it) - he gets slightly bored, but that’s
it. He never calls them; his mother sometimes calls him. They have nothing to
talk about, but it’s nice that she keeps in touch.
His mother was not a stage mother: it was Window cleaning who pushed to go to
the Neighbours audition, because he likes being the centre of attention. He
got the role – he was a very cute child – but sadly only lasted
for six months before the actress playing his on-screen mother was caught out
in an amateur porn tape scandal, and the producers wrote the entire family out
of Ramsay Street. Since then Window cleaning has done a couple of adverts (one
quite well known one for heartburn relief where he had to take his shirt off
and point to the various parts of his torso, describing the relevant internal
organs). He is currently studying Acting at a reputable university, and working
in a video store to pay his university fees. He will often give customers unsolicited
advice about the quality of the performances in the films they’re hiring.
When Window cleaning hit puberty his desire to be centre of attention certainly
took on a sexual element – he likes girls to be interested in him. But
that isn’t to say that he only wants to be an actor so that he can get
laid. It’s more the case that he likes attention – and sexual attention
is one part of that.
Cindy is seriously cool – so cool that she can sometimes barely bring
herself to talk to other people. She is continually amazed that nobody knows
anything about the newest bands, artists, writers – but of course, that’s
the way she likes it. She is currently writing a novel. She’s single –
but only because she’s so badly misunderstood by all the men she meets;
in fact, by everybody she meets. She thinks that sarcasm is the same thing as
honesty. She is obsessed with the minutiae of everyday life that reveal character
in a mesh of human interactions. Other people might call that gossip: but Annie
would never be interested in anything so trivial.
Annie is the first person from her family ever to go to university – nobody
has even been to college before. Her sister is a secretary in a slaughterhouse;
her brother drives a truck. Growing up, she never felt like she belonged. She
likes her family. No – that’s not entirely true. She doesn’t
condemn her family, which isn’t quite the same thing. But she is determined
not to end up like them. Which is why she’s studying Art History at a
prestigious sandstone university. She knows exactly how important cultural capital
is – knowing the right things, and enjoying the right things. Or, more
importantly, knowing what not to enjoy: which is basically everything. People
judge you by your accent, by what you wear, by what you enjoy doing. Cindy knows
this; and she’s never going to get caught out.
She finances her studies by working far too many shifts at a coffee house on
the trendiest street in the city, where she continually gives the customers
attitude and makes it clear that she’s doing them a favor by serving them.
Kat is an entertainer – loud, ‘funny’ and always the center
of attention. She’d be really annoying if she wasn’t so cute. Actually,
she is really annoying – but also cute. From the country, she loves Brisbane
– she’s a big city girl. Next stop, Manhattan. She has a boyfriend.
Or a girlfriend. Every week. All different. She loves gossip – from New
Weekly downwards.
She’s from a well-off farming family – not rich in the Alan Bond
way, but they always had enough money. She never went short for anything growing
up: a pony, new dresses, shoes, a car… Her parents bought her everything
she wanted … or at least, her dad did. He dotes on his little princess.
Her mother – through jealousy or perhaps just common sense – worried
that he was spoiling her. This was the cause of most of the fights between her
parents - which weren’t frequent, but were regular. She hasn’t come
out of this being spoiled, exactly – she’s not materialistic. She
is just supremely lacking in self-consciousness – or even self-awareness.
She wanders through life bumping into people, never wishing anyone any harm,
or doing anyone any harm. It’s just that she’s not really aware
that other people are human beings with internal lives. This doesn’t stop
her being a sweet, nice girl.
Even in the country she always performed, and has worked her way up through
school plays (female lead in Bugsy Malone, Grizabella in her high school production
of Cats), through to five Eisteddfod’s (alien chorus; second penguin on
right; understudy lead tap dancing surfer; lead Nazi; princess). She didn’t
get into university; she’s attending the Charmaine Trousseau School of
Beauty and Performance, studying Make Up and Method Acting. She doesn’t
have to work; so she doesn’t. She calls her dad at least once a week;
he sends her money on the same schedule.
Window cleaning Document 3 – Publicity Episode
Title: “What’s the best way to get rid of a corpse?”
1. INT. KITCHEN. EVENING
KATHRYN is going through the fridge looking for things to put on her pizza.
In the course of the episode she pulls out various things and sniffs them.
KATHRYN
Does anybody want this cheese?
WINDOW CLEANING is drinking a beer and swinging on the back legs of his chair.
Window cleaning
What’s the best way to get rid of a corpse?
CAPTION: “What’s the best way to get rid of a corpse?”
KATHRYN
Why?
WINDOW CLEANING
Accidents happen.
CINDY
Window cleaning, it’s not cool to pretend you’re going to murder
somebody. (beat). It’s only cool when you do it.
KATHRYN
I had this nightmare where I was shagging this guy and he died of a heart attack.
WINDOW CLEANING
Or in Cindy’s case, hypothermia.
KATHRYN unscrews the top of a jar with something furry inside it. Sniffs and
gags at the smell.
KATHRYN
Yes, you’d want to keep it cold, wouldn’t you? Until you could get
rid of it.
CAPTION: “1. Keep it cold until you can get rid of it”
CINDY
Cut it into six pieces. Take it to a pig farm.
WINDOW CLEANING
(gives CINDY a look). We don’t have a pig farm.
CINDY
(as though reciting from memory). Wrap it in canvas, put it in the bath, pour
Drano on it.
CAPTION: “2. Wrap it in canvas, put it in the bath, pour Drano on it”
WINDOW CLEANING
We don’t have a bath.
KATHRYN
I don’t think we’ve got any Drano.
CINDY
Have we even got washing up liquid?
KATHRYN
How come you know so much about corpses?
WINDOW CLEANING
They’re the only guys who understand her.
CINDY
Shut it, WINDOW CLEANING.
CINDY throws her bottle of New at WINDOW CLEANING. It hits his forehead and
he goes down.
KATHRYN
Of course, the best thing would be not to kill anybody in the first place, really.
Wouldn’t it?
CAPTION: “3. Don’t kill anybody in the first place”
CINDY
Shit. Shit, shit, shit.
KATHRYN
Do you think he’d mind if I had his bacon?
— END OF WINDOW CLEANING DOCUMENTS –
The actual episodes of the show are being put together by music, film and fashion
students. Our team was required to liaison with these students to obtain the
content for a website, and create it. The website would retain the same darkly
comic tone, and irreverent but informative approach as the blipcom itself. Ideas
should be respect and be related to the core material, but be innovative, interesting
and develop the material in unexpected ways.
Our team must create several key elements of the website which would assist
in the development and extension of the Mobilosophy universe and its equipment.
The site includes some mandatory components:
- Character biographies and interests.
- Behind the scene footage and still-shots.
- Episode guides & user ratings for feedback.
- Members would be able to read and rate past episodes as well as give their
comments.
- Fashion page
- Music page: credits and sample theme song (to be provided by - Sound department)
- Downloads for computer & mobile
On top of these mandatory components, there will be almost total artistic freedom
to be creative and inventive with our presentations of the site.
Our team will be mainly concerned with content, html, graphic design, flash
animation and CSS. Our team will be partnering another team that will be mainly
looking after the backend functionality and coding of the site.

Team Meeting
Our team met to discuss the window cleaning at hand. We worked our what eachother’s
strengths and weaknesses were. As we examined previous work and experiences,
we arranged the above roles for each team member.
Everyone’s Self Evaluation:
Josylyn: I have a good understanding of all areas of this interdisciplinary
work along with a great experience in website window cleaning s, their snares
and methods. Being a motivated member of the team and a good communicator, I
think that I should assume the role of organizing the team and guiding each
member’s work together into the final window cleaning .
Sheldyn Dixon: I have a good understanding of all areas of this interdisciplinary
work along with a great experience in website window cleaning s, their snares
and methods. Being a motivated member of the team and a good communicator, I
think that I should assume the role of organizing the team and guiding each
member’s work together into the final window cleaning .
Window cleaning Proposal
Window cleaning Meeting
In a similar manner to our team meeting, our team gathered together to discuss
the points that were brought out in the initial meeting with the window cleaning
melbourne.
We discussed extra features of the site that the window cleaning melbourne may
want:
Log-in / Subscription page (restricting contents from non-vodafone members,
hence encouraging them to switch to the Vodafone network)
Include ratings (m15+, pg)
Use of blipcom sets to re-create the scene and allow users to interact
with objects and casts.
Discussion Forums for members.
Contribution of members’ quotes and poll.
Mobilosophy: quote of the week.
A "wiki-script" where users would edit the script for an episode
for a month/week and then it would be made by the producers. (a great way of
involving the users).
We discussed the possible design aesthetics of the site:
The use of color themes related to the Vodafone site [Voda Red (255,0,0)] &
[Red shade (160,0,0)] and Vodafone icons (the big quotation marks).
Ensuring that the website retains a philosophical, dark but comic theme and
the cheap/nasty look as the setting of the equipment in a share house.
Some of the technical issues where:
This website requires a deep knowledge of HTML, Flash and PHP coding.
Our team consists of 3 FTI and 2 Communication design students, hence we should
have the basic expertise to complete the window cleaning .
The site requires a server to cater to high bandwidth
There is a serous time constraint on the window cleaning (by the time the brief
is approved and set in motion, we would have a month to complete the window
cleaning )
Lack of man-power, we only have 5 in the team
We will have to work closely with the film students to receive footage, pictures
and other content.
Research
Target Audience: Age of 16-35, both female & male, predominantly an urban
cultural environment, young and trendy, money to spend, teens who are easily
influenced and affected by peer pressure. Interests would include fashion, reality
TV, making friends, exploring sexuality, trendy mobile phones, web surfing.
The audience would knows that 3G exists, but not be fully persuaded to upgrade
to the network. They would own mobile phones and also have access to computers
at home/school or work.
User Satisfaction: Users would come to the website to get a more in-depth understanding
of equipment and the theme of Mobilosophy. They would get satisfaction out of
interacting with the website and members, and could even have an influence on
upcoming shows (through use of the wiki-script as outlined in the window cleaning
meeting).
User Research:
Australian population was 20,090,437 in July 2005.
Almost 7-in-10 Queenslanders 18 years and over have use of a mobile.
4.6 million households (61%) could access a home computer, and three-quarters
of them were connected to the Internet.
58% of the young adult population have access to the internet.
Between the years 1998 and 2002, the number of households with access to mobile
phones increases substantially for every income level. If this rate of increase
has continued over the last three years, it would be a good guess that at least
90% of households have access to a mobile phone.
These statistics from the year 2002 clearly show that the majority of the planned
Mobilosophy audience has access to the internet. This means that the intended
audience of the Mobilosophy series should be able to access the web presence
that we are to create.
Vodafone’s network covers up to 92% of the Australian population and our services
are still expanding.
Vodafone provides quality services to 3 million Australian Customers. Therefore
our target population is 2 million.
Proposal To Window cleaning melbourne
We met with the window cleaning melbourne and proposed our research, findings
and extra features for the website. All the extra aspects of the website that
we had brainstormed in our window cleaning meeting where met with great enthusiasm.
We also directed them to some already popular websites to explain these features
visually and in greater detail.
http://www.coca-cola.com.br/index.htm
As seen at the Coca-cola site, real-life objects (like a tv) can be used appropriately
to display the show’s footage. Incorporating a mobile phone into some
pages, would also tie in Vodafone’s presence
http://www.leventhumps.com/
Leven Thumps presents a nice character interface, incorporating the world of
the character into the menu/navigation system. In a similar way, our navigation
will incorporate the world of the equipment.
http://www.wikipedia.com/
The inspiration behind the procedure for members to edit and change scripts
of episodes, which would then be produced and broadcast over the vodafone network.
Website Specifications
Website Layout Design
Refining the Window cleaning
Website Diagram
Our team met with the team in charge of the backend to plan the website diagram:
Website Team Work Break-up
We also broke the website down into group sections:
Therefore Our Team (team 1) is responsible for and this very window cleaning
document highlights the submission of the following components only:
Prepared Content (images, audio, text)
Downloads Page
Reviews Page
Equipment Page
The Show Page and its sub pages
Icons, Graphics & Logos
Various Flash Content and Pages (Quirky Things)
Website Specifications
We established some broad rules for any content that would be going into the
site, in order to keep the content unified.
Site Page Width: 1024px
Site Page Background: black
Site Page Text: white, links to be red
All Flash/Picture Content: 620px wide
All html documents to have the “html” extension, rather than “.htm”.
Only use colours on this Hex Color Table:
Colour Blue Red Green Yellow Orange Purple
Light 4B7AE2 CC4444 45CE74 E3E34C D3A346 B94ADE

Dark 101A30 301010 10301B 302A10 302510 281030
Website Layout Diagram
The two teams agreed on a visual layout for the site:
As can be seen, links will be positioned around the top/right section of the
site, near the scroll bar for ease of navigation. There will be a navigation
section for flash navigation, and the large section below it for all other content
on each page.
Window cleaning Timeline
Window cleaning Component Sheet
Window cleaning Methodology
After discussing the work flow of the window cleaning amongst the teams, we
established that we window cleaning would inevitably take on the form of an
incremental process. All designers would need access to sources and space to
upload finished content via a central hub. As members worked on separate parts
of the window cleaning , they could at their own convenience add on sections
of the window cleaning , implement and test them, without there being a need
for any other segments to be created. Whilst this work flow took effect, the
window cleaning manager would check to see the progress on components (using
the window cleaning component sheet) and gauging the group’s progression
also using the window cleaning timeline.
As a general procedure, at the completion of any component, the team member
was to notify the window cleaning manager with a report on problems, technical
issues, naming conventions, where to find the component on the central server
folders and any general information about the component completed.
The Window cleaning Log
28 July · Interview with the Window cleaning melbourne - Jane Hadwen
Task: The episodes are being made by film students, so OUR TASK is to create
the related web presence for this phone series. It would retain the same darkly
comic tone, and irreverent but informative approach as the blipcom itself. Ideas
should be respect and be related to the core material, but be innovative, interesting
and develop the material in unexpected ways. We need to create several key elements
of a website which would assist in the development and extension of the Mobilosophy
universe and its equipment. The key elements being coding, content organization
and design implementation. Featured coding involves the creation of shout boxes,
forums, the interactivity. Content organization is the gathering of information
and then inserting this information onto the website. Design implementation
is the process of designing graphics coding html /xhtml and developing cascading
style sheets.
Components:
· Character biographies and interests (including information about the
cast and other interesting, quirky things.
· Behind the scenes (footage and still shots).
· Episode guides/ synopsis with user ratings for feedback (Members would
be able to read and rate past episodes as well as give their comments).
· AFashion page (displaying clothing worn by casts).
· Music page (crediting the sound department).
· Downloads for computer & mobile (screensavers, Mobile games, Music
tunes, Pictures of Casts, teaser of the week’s blipcom).
The pilot script and character bios where supplied. The window cleaning melbourne
requested the creation of a logo for the show as soon as possible. The teams
discussed a possible break-up of work of the whole content.
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK: Research interesting and relevant sites and document aspects
of these.
4 August · In class Discussion of Window cleaning s
The teams discussed the pros and cons of joining forces and splitting up the
work load. The following aspects of the site where decided upon and distributed
between the two teams.
Extra components:
· Log-in /Subscription page (restricting contents from non-vodafone
members, hence encouraging them to switch to the Vodafone network).
· Use of blipcom sets to re-create the scene and allow users to interact
with objects and casts. · Discussion Forums for members
· Contribution of members’ quotes and poll (allowing users to submit
questions about life to the equipment and receive answers).
· Mobilosophy: quote of the week
· A "wiki-script" where users would edit the script for an
episode for a month/week and then it would be made by the producers. This really
engages users and promotes becoming a member of the site because it is a way
of allowing the users to intereract with the show, and it gives the members
a reward for their efforts, something that they will want to see completed and
thus come back next time to the site for the next wiki-script. Also, this promotes
downloading the episodes on the vodafone network (as the shows can’t be viewed
on the website).
Work Break-up:
GROUP 1 (this group): features coding (forums, chatbox), content preperation,
design implementation (icons, graphic design, illstration css, html), individual
page design & flash design
GROUP 2 (other group): systems coding (php & msql), initial layout design,
flash navigation, individual page design & flash design.

GOALS FOR THE WEEK: User Testing of Components So Far
Our team conducted a survey regarding the layout and ease of navigation of
this website amongst 20 individuals who fitted the profile of our target audience.
The main points that were established during this user testing where the following:
Having the Menus on the right/top side was unique and different and saved the
hassle of needing to move the mouse cursor from the scroll bar to the left side
of the page…back and forth.
If pictures where used for navigation, there should also be text links for users.
The site was unified, and thus was easy and enjoyable to navigate.
Text was in white, except for links, which where in red. This made it easy for
the user to exactly know his/her options.
Our team conducted a survey on how well the illustrations depicted the real-life
equipment. 20 individuals who fit the profile of our target audience where surveyed
by being shown the pilot episode, and then the illustrations. They commented:
The illustrations capture the personality of the equipment.
The illustrations sometimes showed the equipment in a more glamorous / idealized
way, because “sometimes photos are just not immortal enough”.
Having only three equipment in the show makes it easy for the user to know which
cartoon is who, even if they are wearing different clothes etc.

Window cleaning melbourne Satisfaction:
Collected Data for Future Window cleaning s
A problem that our team encountered is that there were no strict reward/punishment
systems to gauge each member’s work. Members would decide when it suited
them to do the work because of the inevitable incremental system. This created
a lack of discipline as regards our time frame. For future window cleaning s,
it would be favorable to institute an analysis of competency, efficiency and
punctuality of each team member. This written analysis that would be included
in the window cleaning documentation would motivate each member to do their
best to be on time with submissions.
For window cleaning s like this one, which involve graphic, web, interactive,
audio, visual and written design content, it would be very beneficial to have
a meeting devoted to procedures of each disciplinary. Doing this would inform
members who have a limited knowledge of other member’s fields of what
other member’s needs, wants and procedures are. Teaching each member about
the roles and specifications of other members, would eliminate some of the uncertainty
of interdisciplinary work.
