straight lines

ohh no ! i realised that i haven't answered the questions ( well i did, but not about scrapblog) so here i go. actually, i think i might of already said half this stuff, but ohh well, just read it for the love of reading.
scrapblog has some really cool things that we can use, such as; text, movies, stickers, images, and more which i will edit on tomorrow.
scrapblog is also easy to use as we can create links between the pages and you can just click of something, then ta-daa ! your there. There is a menu system, but for our slide show, we might not use it-depends how much time we have left.
The down side of scrapblog as no-one has noticed yet, is that yes, two people can work on it at the same time, but you can not save/publish at the same time. (I've said why in the post underneath the post underneath this [the one under the one under this])

Goku.

how-de-do ?!
CPU.
the CPU holds the microprocessor, which basically means its the brain of a computer. the first CPU was dubbed "intel 4004" which was waaay back in 1971 ! (btw, does intel 4004 sound like something that belongs in a transformers movie? why, i do think so.)
And since 1971 was ages ago, technology has improved. For example back in the day the clock speed was 2MHz, and now its around 3.6MHz. (which is like 60% faster !!)
did you know that MIP's measure the computer and is capable of 1 000 000 (is that 1 million ? well, its meant to be 1 million) instructions per second.
or that a duel core processor is a CPU that has two execution cores with one chip? i don't think you did...
But i think you get that multitasking is when you are doing more then one thing at one time, well, same for computers except they run more then one task at a time.
And back with the unknown... the intel atom processor uses less power and is really small while sill allowing a 'big internet experience' which might come in use for people who use their phones to go onto the internet unlike the normal people who use a computer.

&& ohh yay ! lets not do the quiz ?!
nahh, i'll totally do it. tomorrow.

it seems like such fun until you have lost what you've won

i'm sorry that i haven't been blogging recently, its mainly because our assignment is on scrapblog, and we're working on that every lesson, there really isnt time to blog. So here's my chance.
Well today, we descovered that my partners in crime and myself can not both publish things at the same time(because if they save something, then i save something after that, their work is not on my save, so the computer thinks we deleted it or something, so its not there) which really sucks, so we are going to not save at the same time. problem fixed. And so now we're just researching and making our slideshow. I just finished my first topic on 'hand held multimedia devices' i did the itouch, obviously. And i also did the online quiz thingy (with the help of the world wide web) and yeah.
talk (actually blog) to you later =]

hook line and sinker

nunchuku (thats what my internet name is going to be for scrapblog) =]

ahh michelle, you have discovered the wonder of the tic tac. how i envy you right now.
&& ariadne is away today at a cheer comp ! which means i'll have to do my half of the assignment, but....actually i might try and get the link below to work
our scrapblog URL is....

http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer.aspx?sbId=2098303

i am outraged ! i know, i know the link doesnt go to my page. ohh wait, yes it does. my bad. have fun !

so basically in todays lesson which seemed to go on for agessss, (but it's felt like that for all my subjects today) i started to work on our scrapblog page. I'm really excited because scrapblog looks really cool and fun. And yeah, even though ariadne left me nigle, i still managed to laugh at myself, and even on a few occasions turn around and start talking to her, when someone else was sitting there and is probably thinking i'm extremely weird. But go click on the link !! i feel like a child receiving a massive christmas present, ahh the good old days...

p.s. the pictures and things don't fit into there frames but i'll try and fix it, actually maybe not because it doesn't look to bad. I'll have to consult with my partner in crime

heaven help us



this is why I never got my pen licence. (nahh, I totally got mine. I just lost it the day after)


btw, this is nota. hello nota. ahahah ! nota is bota with a n. i'm probably the only one who finds that funny by anyways.

okay, I chose to look at nota because, to tell the truth, I wanted to know why my friends chose it. but while i was looking through it, I realised that is it a cool website and that it allows myself and my partner to draw, insert pictures, type, import, videos, and much more. Aswell as being extremely easy to use and very available to us, plus ariadne and myself can work on it at the same time. But still, we chose scrapblog over nota was because it looks more professional,' and we like professional.


goodbye nota, hello prezi !
okay, we dont like prezi for a few reasons. but mainly because we cant work it properly. we spent an hour to create what is in the picture. we didn't get very far as you might of noticed. so basically its not easy for us to use and one of the questions we have to answer is if we can work on this site at the same time, but since together we cant figure it out, i dont even want to try it alone, hence we're not going to use it. i really don't like prezi...

take me away to a secret place

we chose to use scrap blog for our assignment for a few reasons being


  1. its the easiest
  2. it doesn't have a cereal title
  3. our other option turned out to be alot harder then expected (i'll tell you about this later)
  4. its simple and straight forward
  5. it lets me work on it at the same time as my wonderful partner
  6. heeeey, this one's up to you, let your imagination go wild !
  7. its just legendary, and by that i mean free.

seriously, pageflakes ?!

so, i guess its later. (and its not really thursday, its tuesday, night.)
okay, this said option that showed to be more complex then we imagined, was prezi(?) well, something starting with p. we created a page [which link i shall post later to show you our epic failure which is kinda funny since we spent a whole hour doing it and, well you'll see] but the better way or saying it is that it was just hopeless. But we did have an achievement. We found the free version of it. It was a shame when we finally gave up because it looked like a really fun site to use as it had this really cool circle tool page thingy, cool-yet really confusing.
