Journal

I thought I was finished with Thoreau 2 days ago, but I learned there was more to it. Sooooo, now it is complete. I think that once you make a change in your document, that change will also appear on the server. I have learned soooo much this semester. There are a lot of FREE websites in cyberworld. Thanks to everybody. Some of the questions I had were answered on the db and it’s not so stressful when you know others feel the same as you about assignments. For those who are just starting this program, just know that, “This to shall pass.” You can make it.

It pays to read the db. Some of the questions I had about the assignments were answered by others, the professor, or TA. I’m glad I made it through. I just finished the second part of assignment 8. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t view my assignment at unixs.cis.pitt.edu. Needless to say it was something minor. Fasttrack went fast. I stayed at the Marriott-Shadyside, again. I used Priceline.com to get a cheap rate. I was trying to get the hotel I stayed in when I first started this program. They offer FREE breakfast and it is good. I’m not exactly sure, but I think it’s called Holiday Inn Express. It’s on Bigelow and less than 1 mile from the Pitt. Well now I’m going to try and knock this last assignment out of the way.

CSS

HTML, what the heck am I doing! Somehow I turned my html page into a word doc trying to link some web pages. I was able to save it again as a web page but I don’t know how I managed to have made that mistake. I was able to link my web pages to my homepage, but I should have written down the steps. I’m sleepy so by tomorrow, this may be forgotten.

Thoreau

I did it. Once I understood the errors I made, and corrected them, I was able to finish the project. I didn’t really know where to begin to fix the problem. I felt there was too much going on at one time. In these moments, I just want to scream! But what I did was a type of rapid body shaking and stomping my feet. This body motion looks like a 2-year-old having a temper tantrum. I decided the only thing left to do was to go back over my notes, handouts and use the internet (YouTube). There were some links from the video that Dr. Tomer gave us. From these sites, I found other related YouTube videos, and I watched them over and over. Yes, I’m one of those people who can’t read it once, listen to it once, or watch it once to get the meaning of the material.

Holiday Over

I had a nice long holiday weekend but tomorrow it’s back to work. I accidently deleted my Jing project and I was having a problem with my webcam. I realized later that it was because I had deleted some icons from my desktop and I had also deleted the Jing (Zotero) icon from Screencast. My thought was to make my desktop not so cluttered. Didn’t know it but, by deleting the icon from Screencast, it also deleted it from my blog. Well everything has been restored. I’m ready for our next project.

Zotero

I somehow deleted my first Jing project so I did it again.

I completed my Koha project and I’m ready to start working on the next one. I’m not comfortable with the idea of using html but the more I know about it the better I’ll feel about doing the assignment. I plan to rest and have fun this holiday weekend. I keep missing the dimdim chats. Hopefully I won’t miss the next one. I believe it’s scheduled for Sunday at 7pm.
