summary of the last semester- the memories

How does one summarise laughter friendships learning and a really fabulous time? Well seriously this term i have learnt so much about, flickr, delicious, blogger, FTP, technorati and the dreaded RSS. I have spent hours not only learning about these topics but forgot how they worked and spent even more hours relearning what i had learnt already! But my most important lesson that i've learnt is that if you don't know something you don't need to go running for help but you can go on google or the help function in the program you are using to find all of your answers. 

My compotence with computers is growing and my confusion with the internet has subsided, although at times i feel over welmed when things just don't work for me. I have learnt how to create a blog and tamper with its background and colours etc, i've learnt basic html, about RSS and its uses, how to upload a web page to the internet, how to put counters onto web pages, and finally i have learnt how to create an iweb webpage SAVE IT AFTER ABOUT 4 TRIES and upload onto the internet. 

I feel now a little wiser and a little more experienced because now i am so much more patient, and willing to step out of programs i know and utilize tools i have never used before. I have also come to a realization that i am really glad i completed this subject because it will help me in many ways in the future, whether i am creating a web site to display my work, a blog to discuss my thoughts or even a flickr or myspace page to organize photos and events. As a potential future producer this is something i will need to use and i want to learn more so that i can continue and have knowledge of the latest technology. 

One last thing i have also learnt that unfortunately its not the programs fault when things go wrong because the program is just as smart as the user, although in saying this i must admit there are some programs and functions i really didn't like such as technorati and the use of knowing how popular your blog is in the grand scheme of the web. I also don't believe Really simple syndication RSS is not really that simple!!!! In conclusion i have learnt many things this semester that i will take into the future and hopefully use to better my career and some things i like knowing i don't want to know. 

Your sincerely

WINTER WHAT A BUMMER

My seriously bewitching readers,

I am in a dilly of a pickle and i need your help to work it out. Firstly winter is approching and it is so depressing for many reasons

1) no day light savings

2) its cold

3) it rains more

4) my heating is broken

5) I'm stuck in Wagga

6) big brother is constantly on tv

Although winter does have some advantages i must admit such as....

1) TV is better (occasionally ie house, flight of the concords ect)

2) i watch more movies

3) My hatred for big brother is a great pick up line! (long story) 

However I really don't know how to feel, but i miss summer and as today is the first day for winter i decided it is time to buy a diary (hey i'm only 6 months late and i got it cheap reduced from $70!) so my only glimmer of hope is that my winter will be organised. Can't wait to start a bon fire. 

Yours faithfully, your slightly singed friend,

Oh No a Coffee Hit

My gorgeously attractive cyber readers,

I have to admit at this moment i am feeling quite conflicted as my first post was about how i never drink coffee and i never understood how people could live off the stuff! But now i am ashamed to tell you what a semester of uni has done to me. I am honestly in an addicted stage, where as soon as i start thinking about having to go to work or do work for uni i am reaching for the coffee jar. Now i am unsure weather my future job of hopefully being a production manager or producer which will be highly stressful and demanding will require my body to live on a hit of caffeen several times a day. I am hopelessly concerned and am not looking forward to this but then i just remember how much coke i drink a day so i must ask readers... Is it better to drink coffee or coke? 

My tired body is desperate for some coffee so i'll talk to you in a cheerier mood

RSS

Teachers, mothers, secret lovers....

Today i'm going to tell you about counters and RSS because i felt you needed to know... 

A web counter or hit counter is a computer program that shows the number of visitors or hits a particular web site has received. People use web counters to see how much traffic is going through their web page or to be able to monitour statistics on their web page. They can also use a web counter to show to other people how popular their web page is. Some other web anayilses tools include hit counter, visits, unique visitors, page views, referrers, search keywords, visitor information, click paths, conversions, tracking registered users, and many other more advanced statistics. 

RSS stands for Really simple Syndication and is a "family for web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts", This basically means RSS is a web feed used to publish updated content on popular sites and are easily viewed because they are on sites that do not have formatting. Rss allows us to subscribe to other sites using specific tools. I think it is a really good idea because it updates information for you and saves you time and effort. Some things that reliey on RSS are itunes, google reader, emails and podcasts. 

I hope you now also know more about RSS... Until my next time i find something that saves you all time !!!!

Technorati- description

Readers,

I would like to tell you a little about technorati. I am still undecided on whether i like technorati or not at this point in time but i do know i do not like this friendly competition that jo has set up. I know my blog would never be able to compete with other out there in the real world. My only way of competing with them is by making up fake information and plastering all over my blog to gain interest. Then i realized people already do that such as fake news sites, and celebrity trash site... Anyways for those of you who are not technology savy (omg i can't believe i just said that as my best friends mum says that am i really that old?) Technorati it a search engine much like google but for blogs. It searches not only the RSS feed such as google but the HTML and links and has indexed over 112 million blogs. Technorati ranks blogs and gives them an authority which is a number (the higher the number the ore authority) of how many people with unique blogs have linked to yours in the last 180 days while a rank is decided on how far from the top you are #1 being the top rank. 

Currently i have no authority and 2 fans (and thank you to those fans!!!) which means i need your help readers so come visit my technorati account and add me to your favorites. I am unable to get a add my blog to your technorati favorites on my blog but as soon as i find out please come on and add me. Although i do have a bet with tom going that i can get a lower ranking and authority then him. Do you think it would be worth anything? So now i must leave you so that you still have time to add me to your favorites...

Until next time

technorati

Hey I am claiming my blog!


Technorati Profile

iweb our saviour

Your lucky this is a blog otherwise you would be infected with my flu germs by now... 

Can i just say i absolutely love iweb. I just don't understand why people would spend hours dealing with the evil ways of CSS and HTML when they can use a cheat program like i web to help them out. Unfortunately i still am unable to get my iweb website onto my athene account which i don't quite understand why but eventually when i do it will be the ultimate program. I cannot wait to find other programs similar to this that i can use to create web pages in an instant. I also am a little unsure on how to create a range of pages using iweb but i think in practice this will come. Some things i would love to learn now is how to put a video on a web page or at least a link to you tube, how to put an animation on a web page and how to do these in the simpiliest way with out wasting time and spending hours doing it. If you have any ideas i would love to hear them my devoted readers... Anyways i have just come back from seeing the movie "There Will be Blood", which i am still totally confused to whether i like it or not and i am really sick so i look forward to infecting people, but unfortunately my tiredness is taking over my will to learn more, so i must leave you hear... Until next time...
