It's been another busy week with an odd schedule due to my Tuesday class being moved to Monday because of the ERP visit. Half the time I wasn't sure what day of the week it was!
The browser articles gave me some info I already knew, but it was interesting to read the article that had the author give his top browser picks. I agree with him about Google Chrome. It's what I use on my laptop and has some nice features that are different from IE. I didn't know it was so secure! That was good to hear! But, I suppose it's not really fair for Google to make a browser that only works on PCs. At least Mac users have Safari. Who knows what will come next.
The articles on cloud computing were really interesting! I've heard the term before, but never really understood what it meant. Between the You Tube video and the NY Times article, I think I'm starting to understand. Sounds like there are a lot of pros & cons so it will be interesting to hear both sides of this debate--in class and in future articles.
My biggest challenge this week: trying to figure out the content for my website! I know my own methods for getting started with a writing project, but I'm not sure how well I can articulate it. I got a few fiction writing books from the library and have some of my own so I'll start looking through them for ideas to use, to build on my own methods.
I uploaded all of my files to the mlis server last night and validated them all (as strict). It wasn't difficult to do, but I don't have a whole lot on the pages yet! My "ah-ha" moment was probably when I discovered that some html codes that I'd learned way back in the '90s aren't compatible with html 4.01. For example, the (center) and (u) codes--two things that I included in the original html of my website pages. The W3 schools website shows what works on strict dtd. That was helpful.
I uploaded my scenarios & prototypes files to the Wiki, but not as a page--I forgot how I'd gotten my planning document into my project folder as a page...I'll be in class early to get things moved around. But the files with my scenarios & prototypes are uploaded in my project folder.
