2nd Practice Test

We are currently working on our 2nd practice test. We have our biggest test coming up next monday and tuesday. It is a two day test first part written second part done on the computer.

Style Sheets

So monday I took school of due to have the cold. I came back tuesday to learn about stylesheets. Stylesheets are used in everyday webpages and are taking over tables, cells. They are much easier to use for posistioning, 3-D effects and changing colour of fonts and backgrounds and maniuplating images.

HTML Design Problem

On friday we practiced on making a site with cells and doing style sheets without even knowing it. I finished the design problem on thursday so I just watched Charelli as he was reviewing it. We worked with gifs, making images to htmls, and merging pages to left and right side. After that I had a busy weekend ahead. My saturday was spent waking up at 6am to get ready for championship weekend for racing at Camerons Speedway. Lets say that it was a crazy day I wish I had a head camera to show everyone the races as it was crazy. My first practice not even the first lap due to the rain I crashed into the tires but after that I caught on fire for the races. After the first half of the championship I was tied for 2nd and only 5 points behind 1st. Then disaster hit in the second session it started pouring rain for our race I was starting 3rd and the two people starting ahead of me I had to beat. After the first couple laps disater hit I got hit from behind and went flying into the grass. I managed to catch back up and finish 5th for that race but I had pull a hare out of hat to catch up in points. Due to the Y108 event and nunmber of races showing up and people leaving that there be one last race with 10 laps on the 2km track. I started second last for this races and lets just say it was crazy you could hear over the pa system of how I got to the front so quick in the first two laps and how #88 the kart I was in was hitting people which I wasn't. I ended up finishing third in this race and it was crazy.

Web Design Class

Alright so we were assigned an assignment on thursday that is due on wednesday. The task of the assignment is to upload to the internet. This will be our first time uploading to an internet domain. I stole a template of the internet and used it as my template for all of my pages. This assignment is to talk a bit aboutselves like things about ourselves such as sports, education, etc. After finishing all the information I needed I registered for a site at 1 2 3 my host. After uploading it turned out alright. After the weekend I came back and my site was deleted so I registered to a new site called bytehost. Now it works.

Internet

So today we learned how to steal templates off the internet. The templates on the internet look 100x more better then mine I made the day before. After spending time stealing templates off the internet and using them we have to start a project about ourselves and upload it up to the internet.

Thanklates

So we just had our long thanksgiving weekend. I worked all 3 days. Saturday was nice day well sunday and monday were cold ones. Due to work my thanksgiving dinner consisted of subway, chicken parmigiana, spaghetti and bread. On the flip side we learned how to design our own templates and how to utilize them. I got confused a couple times then I finally understood how templates worked.

Web Design

On friday october 2nd we did more tables. Inserting tables on a web page using layout mode. We then got our shark assignments marked. I got 20 out of 20 on the assignment which slightly brought my mark up by 1 percent. After that we had free time i spent my time studying for my health test that was next period. After that I signed out to help my mom move into our new house. On monday we did advanced graphics. We worked with creating animated gif's by using animation shop. I already knew how to do it since I previously had done it in grade 10,11 programming. Then we created/edited images using dreamweaver. If you go to layout or something along those lines theres a link that takes you to adobe fireworks where you can go edit the image and bring it in. Then we inserted flash text/buttons. Its not like the real flash but it works like flash.

mONDAY 21 n On

We took a closer look at text and graphics today. We took a look at text sources like adobe pdf writer, image sources such as the scanner and how to manipulate the object using paint shop pro and saving them into either jpgs, gifs. We also learned today how to manipulate backgrounds and modifying the background color or image.

Looks like programming class is starting to pick up. Today we learned something new for multi-dimensional arrays. All this week we been working with arrays. From 1D arrays to 2-D arrays even 3-d arrays. We reviewed things like how to read in all the data for 2-D and 1-D arrays, change a particular mark, change all the numbers, check the range, find the largest number and total of numbers. To increase and decrease marks and find averages. This also involves reading in IO Files.

Ralph and I need to make a program using a control we have never ever seend before such as using the tab control, progress bar, and web browser. Ralph and I chose to use tab control. Now I'm reviewing for the test next week hoping I do well. I also had my cisco test today and I know I'll do well

Array Test

Today we had an array test lets just say having no computer or internet home i was completely not ready for the task at hand. I understood most of the questions. The fire drill ruined my flow I was getting into. I tried to prepare for this test by printing out notes and that. Do to the way I write I'm slow hand writer so I was unbale to finish the 1st page I had gotten to the last one on it but was unable to finish the test in the time that was needed. i hope I did well

Today we started working with dreamweaver. It is so much easier then 1st Page. All the dirty coding was done for you inbehind the program. It was much easier. I think the hardiest part of the lesson was when the computers were crashing. Right now we have to work on a shark assignment. Charelli showed us things like how to set up
tables ,adding a page, merging cells, making links,etc. We have test next week for dreamweaver
