Cycle 10 day 8
Today in IST I really didn't do a lot because I got all my work done on Friday and over the weekend. Today Steve and I learned how to make a bootable CD-ROM drive with image burn windows xp. That was all I did today because steve and I kept running into problems about not having enough space to fit on the disc. I would like to know more about how to work on the BIOS and fix things or overclocking and raid etc. Besides that today I had a good day.

Cycle 10 day 7
Today in IST me and Steve are almost finished cleaning up the theory room. Plus we had a 90 minute delay so we had less time to get more done. Today I learned that the first floppy drives only held like a couple kila bytes. which is nothing compared to what we have for storage today. I also learned that there are different types of raid that you can run on hard drives. Raid 0 is when two hard drives act as a single one but is faster and has more storage. Raid 1 is when one hard drive is the main and the second one is a mirrored back up drive. I would like to learn more about how flash drives can hold a couple giga bytes but there so small. Today I had a good day I got a lot done and had no time where I was sitting doing nothing.

Cycle 10 day 5
Today in IST we started a new chapter in the Microsoft word exercises and I got all the work done within an hour so me and Steve had a lot of time to continue working on the room again today I learned how to add a foot note to a word document because it was an instruction in the work we had to do. I would like to know more about how software is made because do you have to use an other program to create another program? Overall today I had a good day I got a lot of work done and learned a few new things.

Cycle 10 day 4
Today in IST we continued work in Microsoft Word and we had to make a research paper on any topic I choose the rising costs in gas prices. Because regular gas is almost at $3.20 to a gallon which is a lot more than I remember back in 2007-2008. I also got to help with the server today me, Steve, Bradley, Mike and Derick had to make more Ethernet cables and run them under the floor boards to two computers in the senior side of the room. Me and Steve started to clean out the theory room because it is going to be turned in to a Network/Office place. Mr.Sid our teach asked us to and it seemed like a got idea so i could expand my knowledge on servers and server printers. I also want to learn more about how processors work because I don't get how something so small that it generates enough heat to have to be cooled down so much with big heatsinks and fans.

Cycle 10 day 3
Today in IST we learned more on Microsoft word and we did more writing and editing exercises. One of the exercises we did was to change the words around so that they made sense and change the heading and add a picture. today i also helped fix a computer for E-mech. The problem with the computer was that it wouldn't load past the start up because it had a password that kept changing every time you boot up the computer. So me and steve found a way to change the password every time to something simple. I also got to help work on the server today and it was very interesting and i would like to learn more on how they work and transfer data through the entire school. hopefully tomorrow i will get to help with the server.

Cycle 8 Summary
During cycle 8 of IST we spent most of the time creating our own websites using html in note pad. The first day we learned all the basic tags like <html> <body> <h1> and how to end tags like this </html> </body> </h1>. Also we learned how to make tables and link different pages to each other. More over I would like to learn how make my own page layout and how to add a slide show to my website. On the second day of IST we continued our websites but we learned a little about more advanced tags such as <a href=""> /a> and adding frames to our websites. Frames have visible borders and they can divide different pages up into one layout.
