New Info in Class + Blog Progress
Today we started a new subject-- networks. I haven't really learned too much about it, besides obviously the basics from personal experience, so I've been absorbing a lot of the info. Chiarelli talked to us about WANs (Wide Area Networks) , LANs (Local Area Networks), routers, and a lot of other networking tools, devices, and concepts. We learned about how to set up networks in our house, what networks were considered WANs or LANs, and pretty much the basics of the topic. After we even got into a little program called Net Meeting, which allows you to connect through IP Addresses, and do a wide variety of activities together. Our whole class had lots of fun playing around with the program. Tomorrow I'm sure we'll get into much more detail about the networking concept, and I'll learn a lot of new and exciting stuff.
My blog layout has been progressing, albeit slowly. I found a pre-made skin after quite a while of searching, which I'm pretty happy about. I was looking for the right layout that I could customize to fit my needs, and I obviously found it. It looks pretty easy to modify, and I'll be able to add my
'touch' to it. I also realized that there is just too much work for this blog template to be done before my teacher sees it on Friday, so I'm just gonna use the original creator's work until I'm able to finish my modifications.
Hopefully the outcome will be better without such a tight deadline. I'm sure you, the very few viewers that read this, will like it.
