Cycle 14 day 2

Today in IST Steve and I fixed again more of the dell and gateway machines in the theory room today we now have about six up and running with Windows XP. Today I didn't really learn anything new today because Mr.Sid our teacher let us have more time to work on our Power Points we are going to present tomorrow. Steve, Derick and I did our presentation on a concept car called the Dagger GT. Go here to learn more. I would like to learn more about how Microsoft office is made because it has to be one of the most commonly used programs. Overall today was a good day and tomorrow I hope our presentation goes well.

Cycle 14 day 1

First day back in shop after a long academics cycle. This is much better than sitting in math class learning about exponents and other boring stuff. Today in IST we finished our flash games because we are going to present them to the class tomorrow. I didn't do the game because I had a golden ticket for doing production work. Today I learned more about different settings in the BIOS of a computer which is the main controller for all the components connected to the motherboard. I would like to know more about Hyper-Threading on Intel CPU's. I know a little bit about it but not much. Today was a good day because Steve and I got more of the old dell and gateway machines in the theory room working and they all have windows XP on them now.

Cycle 12 day 14

Today in IST it was the last day of cycle 12 so Steve and I brought our computers in so we could play games because all our work was done. Today I didn't really do much because every thing was already finished. But I learned that you can't use two different hard drives in raid 0. I always thought you could until Steve told me.
Overall today was a good day because I didn't have to do anything even though I still like to learn. A chill day once and a while doesn't hurt.

Cycle 12 day 13

Today in IST Steve and I started our first game in Adobe flash. So far it is going good were trying to make a FPS or first person shooter type of game. were you are looking down the scope of a sniper rifle. And you have to find and kill the people. It is kinda hard because you have to put in specific coding and the walking for the targets. Today I learned the basics of Adobe Action Script 3.0 and how to save preset motion and shape tweens. I would like to know more about the things you can do in Adobe Action Script 3.0. And what is the difference between a classic tween and a shape/motion tween. Today I had a good day got lots of work done. Tomorrows the last day of shop then back to academics for forever and a half.

Cycle 12 day 12

Today in IST I finished my work in PowerPoint. I had to embed several things like an internet browser, a you tube video and a media player. After I finished that I really didn't have anything else to do so I helped Brad, Jeremy, Mike and Derick in the theory room fixing the computers. Today I learned how to embed things in PowerPoint. I would like to know more about what else you can put into a PowerPoint. Maybe you can embed games made in Adobe Flash. Overall today was kind of a good day I wasn't doing my best and I could have just finished my work earlier. 

Cycle 12 day 11

Today in IST I brought my computer in so I could use it to work because it is faster and I could do more multi- tasking on it because it has a Quad-core 2.8 Ghz processor and 4gb of ram. I worked with Adobe Flash today because we got a list of assignments that needed to be completed. But every now and then I would stop working and play my favorite game MineCraft. Because of this I didn't get as much work as I could have done. But it was fun and now I have home work tonight.Today I learned about how to make basic games in Adobe Flash and that was cool. Overall today was a good day and I will get more work done tomorrow.

Cycle 12 day 10

Today in IST Brad, Jeremy, Mike, Derick and I were in the theory room all day because we were fixing several computers. Mrs.Casey the global studies teacher brought hers in because it kept crashing and it was slow. And we got most of the computers in the cabinets to start running again. Today I learned that there are different versions of Linux and not just one. Some examples of popular versions of Linux are xubuntu, Konopix and Zubuntu. Today I was very productive and had a good time working on the computers maybe tomorrow we can get more of them running.

Cycle 12 day 9

Absent today

Cycle 12 day 8

Today in IST we had another half day because of CAPT testing. Today we really didn't do anything because we couldn't get into a lesson we just made another basic movie in Adobe Flash. We also watched a movie on Discovery.com about computer science. I really didn't learn anything new today because we had a half day and couldn't really get into something in Adobe Flash. Overall today was a good day because we got to just do what we wanted to.

Cycle 12 day 7

Today in IST we had a half day because of CAPT testing. Today we did more in Adobe Flash we used the bone tool which can movies limbs on people or stick figures etc. We also did some commands in Adobe Script 3.0 which is the coding for all the Adobe programs. Today I learned a couple new things today but maybe we will start something new tomorrow. Overall I had a good productive day today and I got a lot done.  

Cycle 12 day 6

Today in IST we continued to use Adobe Flash and remote desktop. I learned today in Adobe Flash how to make motion and shape tweens. A tween is the the motion in between frames that makes a complete motion. I would like to learn more about creating ads in Adobe Flash and opening them on a browser. I am sure we will probably learn this during the year. Today it was a good day because I learned a lot and made some cool stuff in Adobe Flash.
