DONEEEE

Woohoo!

Sarah and I are DONE our computer science project!

Writing everything on notepad took FOREVER THOUGH! Listing over 10 times is sooo repetitive. I had the same problem with making a table. Thank goodness for copy and pasting during those sections. If it weren't for that, i would have taken hours to make one single chart.

I realized that the best background colour is actually white. Anything too colourful or fancy is just overkill.

Right now, I am going to use my roommates computer to make sure publisher works! After that, I will submit this and we will be DONEEEE!

BTW: google maps = awesome!

I can see my house!!

CSC- assignment #1

Upon reading the rules for my assignment, I discovered two major errors on my part. Firstly, I completely forgot that I had to make a blog until my partner, Sarah, kindly reminded me. =)

Secondly, I thought the assignment was due TOMORROW at 10am! I was starting to stress out. Then I realized that my assignment is in fact due on October 8th! I thought Monday was October 8th. Silly me.

Thank goodness for the extra couple of days. Now I have time to study for my dinosaurs test just in case the program I write has a couple of errors in it.

But anyway, back to the blog. I met my partner on Sept 14th in tutorial where we decided to do our project on the comparisons between Windows Live Messenger and E Buddy.

The following week, we met up again in tutorial and learned the basics of HTML and how to form the outline of a webpage. There, we learned features such as changing the background colour and inserting pictures and links.

Since we both used Windows Live Messenger and E Buddy on a daily basis, we knew the basics of the programs we were researching. The biggest concerned we had is determine which program to use in addition to microsoft word and notepad. Upon asking my roommate what he used when he took the course two years ago, he mentioned that he used publisher. But he reformatted his computer recently. Thanks to pure luck, he still had publisher and we are going to use it to help make the cover page for our assignment.

Now to continue my write-up for the Windows Live Messenger portion of the assignment and then study dinosaurs. BYEEE
