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!

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...

FTP

FTP is very confusing to understand from my limited knowledge care of wikipedia. However from what i can desifer from this webpage is that FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network ie the internet. Some of the negatives to using FTP include 

1. Passwords are not readily protected
2. Because mutliple connections are used additional firewall protection is needed
3. users are able to abuse the protocol and send data the a third computer. 
4. There is a time delay in transferring files 
5. If a file is interupted there is no way to know if the receiver has the whole file. 
6. There is no way for the FTP to set a time date stamp to tell people time last modified etc. 

One major risk in using FTP is that there is no particularily safe way of transfering files because the data is not transfered in an encrypted fashion which means anyone on the same network can view your username, password, and FTP commands. 

However i'm not going to be a negitive nancy so lets look for positive pete for some advantages of using FTP. 

1. FtP servers can be set up anywhere 
2. You are able to manipulae files no matter what  operating system you are using 

All of this information was found using Wikipedia

I think in the future FTP will solve all its problems and be an extremely useful piece of technology 

I hope this was insightful for you as it was for me love Brie xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Assessment week

Readers, Writers and others who also hate using CSS... 

This week we did our "assessment" , that didn't even end up being as "assessment" after all... Instead it was just all of us doing Damian's work for him by marking others peoples blogs. Now don't take me wrong i'm not complaining i would much rather do that then sit there and complete a boring written exam!!!! Some points i have made for the next "assessment" is to try and use all the functions in every site we go to. Some things i should have done that i didn't were, making favorites in flickr and putting extra links onto my del.icio.us account. However i think i've passed this first assessment... I think... Well until next assessment i'll just keep working. 

Stay tuned...
