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
