Reflection 10/22 - A Blog About the Onion

http://www.theonion.com/articles/tony-romo-asks-doctors-to-xray-his-stuffed-animals,18309/

This is one of the blogs I am following, it is The Onion, a notorious comedy newspaper. i love The Onion's humor and enjoy every one of the articles they produce. This specific one is about Tony Romo and a stuffed animal. The mood is very serious but the subject matter is very funny. Just the article titles are usually enough to make me laugh hard enough to make my day.

My thoughts on the Class

This recent week has made me very confused. I feel like I am lost. A lot of time I have no idea what I am doing with a lab. I get the labs done with the assistance of my friends, but I feel like I am falling behind. I am going to go to tutoring during lunch soon to catch up. I definitely do not want to remain like this, because I could fall even further behind! I think I did not pay enough attention to the lectures. I definitely am behind, and I need to change that immediately.

What I have learned from the blogs I am following

One of the blogs I am following is the Mobility tech blog. I learned that web servers could be hosted from a mobile phone or device. Not on 15, or even 10 years, but now! These are called "Servlets" and they are powered by Java 3.0. I think this is going to change a lot in ways of server hosting. Hosting internet servers in such a small card in a mobile device is a huge difference to how they were un previous years.

My thoughts on CSAP so far October 7, 2010

All of the labs so far have been really fun, but now they are getting very challenging. I am racing to keep up with all of the programming terms. I am learning very quickly, but I feel always behind. The class gets more interesting every day, and I learn a lot, but I think I learn the most when Mr. Stevens uses LAN School to teach. I see the lesson up close.
Also, blog spot pulled a tricky move on me in my last post. There is a button that when checked types your words in Hindi. I don't know what the purpose of this is, but it was very embarrassing and I apologize for any confusion.

Blog Post 3: 9/26/10 - Sharing some of the blogs

One of the blogs I am following, "Stepcase Lifehack", is a blog that shares helpful tips about managing everyday life. The article that caught my eye was "10 Tips to Have Your Most Productive Day". It was a list of small changes you could make to your work environment to make yourself more productive. I tried one of the suggestions, "Have a conducive workdesk". I cleaned up my desk, trashed a lot of clutter and junk I did not need, and generally organized. Now there is much, much less stuff on my desk, and I know exactly where anything is when I need it. I am no longer distracted by the wreckage that used to crowd my desk, and instead work feeling liberated from all of the trash that used to confine my workspace.

Blog Post 2: 9/26/10 - How I am doing in CSAP

Computer science was very hard for me towards the beginning few weeks. I have little programming experience, and the course was designed for people with at least a few lines of code under their belt. I have picked up java pretty fast though. It is a great experience to be working with it and really fun to see the results. I enjoy knowing which lines of code do what and drawing pictures has been really fun for me.
