I can see the light!

This week is our final week of class in CIS 131, Thank God. This week we have done two labs and reviewed for our final on Monday.It should be a real hoot, i can't wait. We have spent some time in Microsoft Excel and Word so hopefully it will all pay off. As to Mr.Casey it was fun getting to know you and maybe i'll see you down the road sometime.

Myspace A Killer!

This past week we discussed an article in the paper where a mother and her daughter made up a fake myspace profile together. They requested to be friends we another girl to whom the daughter knew.They became real close friends over the internet but that wasn't the mother and daughters purpose of making the account. They wanted to find out if the girl was bashing the other girl.Eventually the mother and daughter started bashing there close cyber friend.The end result was the girl killing herself over the bashing that she was recieving on myspace. Now to me this sounds about half stupid,give me a break killing yourself over a friend on myspace...The women and her daughter weren't held responsible because they never broke any law, but i hope they feel the guilt.

Liquid cooled Computers

In class we have been working with micro excel oh boy how fun.. But i learned yesterday that there are computers for gaming and such that are liquid cooled like a radiator in your car i found that very interesting.And a little weird!

MICRO EXCEL!!

lately in our cis 131 class we have been working in mocrosoft excel..It is very interseting working with formulas and how the spread sheet works.there is alot about it that i didn't know,but we have been going through it so fast that it is very confusing.Mr.Casey if you read this please slow down!!!lol

The fight against stealing music

In class on monday the 5th of Nov. our class discussed the problems with stealing music off the internet. Recently the music industry went to UofO and asked them if they could get information on the students who attend the college that have been downloading music illegally and the University said no.This was because they couldn't prove who was stealing the music from the computers.This is a major turning point for the music industry and the college.We will see what happens.

GPS technology at it's best!

GPS-guided positiong system, which enables the user to get an earth centered earth fixed position,used for data collection or navigation, on or beneth the earths surface. this technology is great for people who love to go into the backwoods,hunters ect. It is also a great tool for surveying and plotting maps. The only thing that i thought was ironic is that the government can control the signals so that the gps users don't always have an accurate reading.funny !!!

Computer Literacy

In CIS131 our class and many others who are using office word 2007 with the computer literacy for ic3 book,have had to compromise and use an on-line version to do our homework.Technology at it's best some would say.I wouldn't,However i am glad that we have the online version of the book i'm not pleased.It takes me twice as long to do my homework along with other little nitches here and there.I hate it
