In the POV of simply Me & A New Assignment.
Well back at school and its been ages since I've posted here so i shall post to comment on the results of my half yearlies and to write about the assignment we now.
Firstly: IPT results.... well i'm amused and confused by my results i must admit. I had felt that what i had done during the examination was not enough to get a good mark let alone the one in which i got. Apparently i achieved 39/50 which to me is mediocre, however to find the highest Mark was 40 makes me hmmm surprised. I am not pleased with my mark however considering the grades and results of my other classes i guess i should be happy.
Year 11 Catherine McAuley makes people depressed :\ no offense
And Finally: Assignment... my joy in life -.-"
We are making a Markbook! oh wait, didn't we make one of those before? oh thats right we did! so I'm hoping this shouldn't be that hard of an assignment though i shouldn't underestimate stuff like this and still attempt to do the best :)
So far in class we've been learning about researching and gathering information as well as forms in which to display the information we have gathered in a system database. Diagrams, tables and mind maps ;o
_______________
Edit: Got a task description today, ^-^"

Mini Assignment OMG pt 3
Hmmm well reading through the list of jobs in the Kopete website i must say it wasnt quite helpful. gave no definition and what is in involved exactly...I found another website which is a website based IM site supporting all your IM accounts. The good thing about this website was searching through i found a page on Job openings which gave a good account of what they are looking for roles and specific responsibilities for that job.
stupid blogger stuffed up on me x.x"

Mini Assignment OMG pt 2
(This post is gonna be a mix between my thoughts and what I've been doing so far.)
Sooo we have this miniature assignment or group task to complete with the purpose of educating our fellow class mates providing further information about the topic.
Of course like i mentioned in my earlier post I'm stuck with the section of the roles in the development team.
Although today i must admit i had gotten somewhat sidetracked by the topic of active volcanoes and riskiest countries i had still managed to find a quite helpful website. Kopete supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, Novell GroupWise Messenger, and more. Designed to be a
Flexible multi-protocol system suitable for personal and/or organisation use.
LINK:
Kopete Instant Messanger
The great thing about this website is it has a list of the staff development team. SO now i have a list of the roles of people involved all that's left to do is define each job =] which i shall do next lesson or tomorrow night perhaps.
LINK TO TEAM:
Kopete development team

Microsoft Office Live Is An online workplace which is free of charge, and can save up to over 1000 microsoft documents.
Impact Of microsoft office live worldwide:

Today =o
On Monday in class we had watched through several youtube videos about technology in the near future. (i would have posted this on Monday except we had hardly any time left in class after watching all the videos)
The first video was about Retail in the future portraying the simplicity of finding various items, pricing them and buying. By using RFID tags to not only work as a gps system to find the whereabouts of various items but also using miniature LCD screens to display the prices on the shelves so it is easier to change the prices on items.
Sir had explained to the class that the technology we had now could in fact do all this already however the pricing would be costly and therefore only major companies would be able to use it. In a couple more years however this should change.
In the video which was called "Did you know" it states how in the near future technology would soon be smarter than humans... in my personal opinion the only thing that runs through my mind hearing this is "Terminator" therefore i highly dislike the idea x.x"
Although, I found the facts really interesting and highly amusing with statistics i would consider impossible that clearly aren't. Hmm atm (at the moment) i cant rewatch the video on this computer seeing as youtube is blocked however when i get home i'll rewatch it and post some facts =)
**Edit** Ok so i thought i should post the link to the Video, Did You Know
PoV;; facts which i must admit catch the attention of people, gets the point across in both a factual and entertaining manner =]
-The top 10 In-Demand Jobs in 2010 .... did not exist in 2004 OMG!!!
