Here is some site news. Our parent company, Reawaken Media, has launched today. It was previously known as reawakennetworks, but we decided to change that as we broke the partnership in March or something.

As well, we have a forum. You can now find it at http://forums.reawaken.info. Make sure you go to Categories and go to the TECHGEEK section.

TECHGEEK is soon going to launch a new design in a couple of weeks - however, we will release it for those under our Development team before it gets released as a beta for the public.

The new design will be based of suggestions on our Dev forums, over at http://dev.reawaken.info/forums.

We also have some news as well. Kenny Yeoh, our gaming Editor, has been promoted to Senior Editor status - having the same role with Jay and Stewart. As well, we have added three new contributers, all which we will announce in the next few days.

Other than that, it is back to work over at TECHGEEK HQ.

Hello everyone,

We want your opinions about what should we do on the new TECHGEEK Theme. Why do we want your opinion? Because it will help us suit the needs of a majority and not a minority.

Since TECHGEEK is part of the Reawaken Media, our parent company has released a special developers forums. You can find it at http://dev.reawaken.info/forums. You do need to sign up to view the forums.

After that, you just look for the "TECHGEEK Dev" Section. Simple and Easy. Unless you are a developer, which allows you to view some of the source code and template ideas.

As well, if you want to have a special dedicated TECHGEEK forums, please do say. We will be using bbPress so it would integrate with our Wordpress CMS - unless you like having two separate accounts.

TECHGEEK is planning a brand new design to be launched, but we also want some of your input as well. So tell us what we need to change, what we need to remove and what do we need to add to the design.

We have also heard from our editors that they don't like the red colouring... so we plan to change the colouring to a new colour. We are not going to tell you though, since it's a secret and we don't want anyone to know.

As well, if you want a fluid design; someone send me an HTML code for a fluid design and we will use it. You can post it as a comment or send it directly to me at terencehuynh@reawaken.info.

So, have your say NOW!!!!

I should have posted this on Monday, but this will have to do - since it will be the final day of it. All of our editors are focusing on their exams, well except Stewart since we don't know his exam days. Anyway, all of us have been slowly putting up news.

We will resume to normal soon, like Saturday. But, I think you are wondering - If I was exams, how can I still be typing this. And, No - there is no ghost writer. The only time I can update is early in the morning. I can still update in the afternoon - If I don't fall asleep.

So - remember, we are back to normal transmission on Saturday!

I, and the TECHGEEK crew, are pleased to announce a brand new blog. Unlike 'The Journal' where it is a blog about anything; this actually has a topic.

Called TECHGEEK GamesArena, it is a blog dedicated to the entire world of Gaming. News, Reviews and many other things will go there. Some content will be posted here as well, but not all. GamesArena will be run by me and the Gaming Editors. Jay Day will oversee some control of the blog.

Log onto http://games.techgeek.com.au/ for the new site. We are also in the process of slowly moving posts onto the new site, so please be patient.

Hello there,

If you have been wondering what happened and why have you been redirected to this new site, well this is our new home. TECHGEEEK.com.au should be much better than techgeek.reawaken.info.

If you can bother remembering this address, then it should redirect you to TECHGEEK.com.au. We are still working out the kinks out of this new design as this is a public environment and not in the server where this got designed.

As well, if you may have noticed that TECHGEEK Studios is down; we are fixing up a variation of the theme and bringing it back soon. It will still have all the TECHGEEK Podcast episodes and we will return doing the podcast very soon.

And I should now note that this is NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!

Ironically, this is actually the first year celebration too. Even though are archives go to March, we actually started in April; though March was my own TECHGEEK before everything happened.

As well, writers will have noticed a new admin interface; well this is from our updated Wordpress version 2.5, where they have radically redesigned it. Stewart hates it, though.

So enjoy and if you do have any problems with the design, like graphics not loading or some things are out of place, please do comment below.

Editor in Chief - that's actually better than Head Editor.

As you can see, we have been not doing the usual short excerpt for the stories lately. It's not because I'm tired but we have been working very hard because TECH.GEEK is getting a redesign and a revamp. No longer we have to be stuck in the old and tired "news" layout, but we are switching to what we are and always have been - a blog.

As well, due to this; the TECH.GEEK Podcast is in extended break mode. This is because many of us are working in the site. You will still have the news posted by me - but sometime after the revamp.

The revamp, unlike October's revamp, will take place somewhere next week. So please don't call us that the site is down. We are working on the site. This will take place somewhere between 10:00PM our time, as we don't tire ourselves.

The new revamp will also see 'The Journal' being its own separate blog - meaning that all of our staff can write in it. From books, weird things, gadgets and online videos - it is the place to find what is what on the web. It will also be the place where most of our opinions will be and some others taken from their sites.

Also, TECH.GEEK Studios is taking the new design too.

We are also, in TECH.GEEK Studios, launching a couple of new shows - either on the YouTube account or on our Blip.TV accounts (we have two - one for us and one for Stewart). So if you have any technology-related questions, we want them and we will answer them on the show. We will have a online experience where you can give us your questions via the comments section here, e-mail, IM, Skype or video response.

So there, wish us luck for the redesign.
