Javascript

Writing a javascript code was fairly easy.  I think it helped that I could copy and paste the document.  THe reason being that sometimes I miss certain symbols and then it takes me a really long time to fix the error.  The copy and pasting helped big.  I didn't realize it was that easy to create a webpage.

Website idea

Here is my site http://ceweb.uml.edu/Ssten18456/


I would like to see a website where you could see how diving was in all parts of the world.  For instance, if i wanted to go to Bali, I could go to this site and see a video of someone who has actually dived there.  This would help me get a better understanding of visibility and what types of sea urgents live there.

CSS

This week's exercise I found more challenging.  The reason being that when you code a webpage you must pay close attention to detail.  Sometimes I miss a little period or a < and it messes everything up.  The problem is that it usually takes me so long to find the error and it frustrates me.  If I was careful and knew how to look for errors, this exercise would have been easy but for me it was not.

This Weekend

I have nothing interesting to blog about this weekend because I dont have any plans.  I am looking forward to not doing anything because I have been really busy recently.  I am working on Friday and Saturday night.  I will come from work on Saturday and catch up some sleep.  Sunday I plan to order pizza and wings and to watch football on my couch all day.  I may hang out with my friends Sunday night.  Sunday nights are big night outs in Roslindale.

Running

Tomorrow I am running in a 10k Road Race to support the Boston FireFighters.  10k may seem small to some but I have not run that since the Police Academy in 2006.  I am looking forward to the event but I hope I can finish it without embarassing myself.  I enjoy running.  I used to run but then I stopped.  I just started getting back into it this past month.  If all goes well in the next 6  months, I might try to run the Boston Marathon.

Creating Forms

I created a form from JotForm.com and uploaded it to my website.  I found this exercise to be extremely easy.  It was actually my favorite exercise.  I didn't realize how easy it was to create a form.  Please check my form out and rate me.

Craigslist

Craigslist is an online marketplace where people can buy and sell items or services.  One can find an apartmnet to rent, a car, a job, or tickets.  I like how the site breaks the items by the area designated.   Craigslist has caused some problems though.  Some people post items for sale and when you go to look at them, the item is not there and the "seller" plans on robbing you.  It is also scary because Philip Markoff used it to kill women he found on the site advertising for massages.  If everyone uses the site the way it should be used, it is genius.

Kodak Gallery

A web application I use frequently is Kodak Gallery. I take digital pictures and upload them to my computer and onto the web application as back up. I use this web application as a backup in case my computer crashes. The pictures are easier to access on the web at any given time. Once I upload them to the web application, I can share them with family and friends through email. It is good to have an account because if someone shares photos with you, their album will be stored in your gallery forever. That feature is particularly good for me because my family emails me pictures all the time. I am an uncle to 4 girls and 2 boys all under the age of 7. My family is constantly snapping photos of them and emailing me. Now the albums which date back years are stored on my “friend’s gallery.”
Another great feature is that you can create projects. You can make t-shirts, calendars, collages, or simply buy prints. Personally, I don’t use this feature but my sisters have made my Mom some nice calendars of the kids.
The site makes managing photos a lot easier. You don’t have to drop film off to be developed, wait 2 days, and then pay for prints that you do not like. Once uploaded to Kodak gallery, you can choose to have your photo printed a local cvs for pickup or mailed to your house (I am not fortunate to have a printer).

Red Sox

Last night I went to the Red Sox game.  They were scheduled to play the Yankees but the rain prevented it.  I was there for 4 hours.  Luckily my seats were in the State Street Pavillion so I stayed dry but I spent a lot of money on food and drinks.  Now I have to go back tonight and do the same thing because the game is at 9pm.  Hope the Red Sox win and prevent the Yankees from clenching 1st place.

Midterm

This blog is for a class at UMass Lowell.  I am taking a class and had a midterm to do.  The midterm took me over 12 hours to complete.  It wasn't hard but there were so many steps and you had to pay close attention to detail.  I hope I passed!
