ITTW Assignment Due 6th Jan 2011

OMG! is it really 2:20am, In usual Jacqui Warne style, I decided to change the charity website I had been working on for sometime. So Today with complete peace and quiet me and My Missing Manual on CSS have started to recreat the wheel (or is that the web)! it is still going to take me a few more days to complete, but just how cute are these....

Java Snowman

My first applet:: click on the link to see my MISSING! he only works if I'm signed into the college server, further investigation required to get this up..... don't hold your breath....! Why does a two minute job take 2 weeks when you would rather party....

Take 3- my Snowman

Yippeedo.... click on Take 3 above to see my snowman, so I exaggerated it did take just a few minutes to sort him....

Results from the Java Assignment

Thanks to Maggie for marking my 1st Java paper, the results were:

"Your assignments work 100% correctly. You coded the caster program 

differently to me but logically it is just as good." 

Beaten by the Blizzards

Up at 6am and ready to go, then I hear from my friend Ish that it has snowed all night in Swindon! Thanks Ish you saved me the attempted journey into the unknown!
So today, it will be an "Open University" day, out with the Head First - HTML with XHTML and CSS and master this subject alone! I can do it....

You all keep warm and enjoy your day.

Oh No School tomorrow!

This is week 10 minus 1 for half term and I have missed my first day(Tuesday) due to this rotten horrible cold weather! I have packed my bag for tomorrow and already feel, oh no its too cold to leave the warm house and my duvet... But I am stronger, I will go, if only to find out WHY CSS will not play ball with me....! Nigel I need your help <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style1.css" /> is trying my patiences....!
This will drag me out of bed at 6am to battle through the blizzard to Swindon in search of the answers to the mystery of CSS....! 'Can Save Soul' sounds better than 'Cascading Style Sheets' DO you all agree...

Meet my Family

What a classic, my family doing festive.

I want to run away and CRY....

What a muppet, upload the wrong file for the first Java assignment and get 0%.... Maggie is going to mark it for me anyway and so long as I know the concept, its a stupid mistake I will get over it....

From todays Horoscope....

Good Morning all, another Monday Morning....!

Remember that making a wish is not a passive activity, so focus on your long-term ambitions and then work hard to make them come true.

Hahaha!

This is just the beginning, prepare to be amazed; me and my 5ft cock! - click here

Database Assessment

Today we completed an assessment of our database knowledge so far! Not the best result for where I am aiming to be in the results.... 12/20 - 60% - Merit. A good lesson to me "with all I am putting into this course, I still have lots to learn"....!

Reflection time.........

5 weeks completed of my course, I feel it is time for some reflection; What would I change if I could? just one aspect; this is the delivery of the Systems Development module; it may be my learning style as I like to have as much information as I can gather before I embark on a task, watching, doing, reflecting! I feel that this module is being delivered on "self learning" basis, I am given an handout and am left to just copy the code and experiment myself! I would like to see the course delivered in the same style as the other modules where a lecture is delivered followed by the practical workshop.

Assignment 1

Assignment complete, uploaded and just waiting for the result.  Would love to share the programs but you will have to wait until the results are in! Check back around 4th December.

       int answer;
      
       answer = num1 + num2;
       System.out.println ("Sum " + num1 + " / " + num2 + " = " + answer);
       answer = num1 * num2;
       System.out.println ("Value of " + num1 + " * " + num2 + " = " + answer);
       answer = num1 & num2;
       System.out.println("Remaining from " + num1 + " / " + num2 + " = " + answer);
       System.out.println ("Value of num1 is " + num1);
       System.out.println ( "Value of num2 is " + num2);
       num1 = num1 +1;

Belbin Test

Jacqui Warne - Belbin Results 5th October 2010

Everyone Welcome

Open all hours - come and share my feelings of Educating Jac!
I am sure we will have some highs and lows; together with loads of FUN!

The first week is complete!

How do I feel? I feel really good, the first week is complete; there have been no surprises, I feel confident that the knowledge I have gain through my career together with the course delivery by experienced lecturers at New College will help me to achieve my fd.  

I went along to the Federation Induction at UWE this was a good opportunity to experience the University and to meet the other side of the coin, I brought away from this day the knowledge that my course is better placed at Swindon, New College, I feel New College has far more to offer me in the containment of the classrooms and the "Human" personalities of the lecturers.

I am studying with a great group of people and already in just the first week we have supported each other in our individual.strengths and weakness.

I am looking forward to the 2 years ahead and hoping we all succeed!
