Since I did not read the board in the front, I have to write another blog.
Some of the good things about this semester were the interesting times we had in class. I don't remember them though...but I'm sure we had some...
I have no idea what made this semester any harder than any other previous semesters. It seemed all the same to me...#1: Learn the stuff, #2: play and exploit it, #3: do a BTW, and #4: take a road test. It didn't seem hard since I'm used to this process.
I really don't think anything was the best out of this semester because it's all the same (in ITA). But I remember my friends coming down from Sheboygan and we had fun at Buffalo Wild wings...haha...

Well today it was a cold day...the moment I woke up from my deep slumber I felt a sensation to just crawl right back into my cozy blankets.
Today at ITA, our acting skills were put to the test. Obviously we failed miserably with the help of Adrianne's urge to do the stanky leg. Although it was quite funny, Henry seemed to not enjoy being forced to do it even though he didn't anyways.
We semi-finished the BTW for excel and followed up by taking the Road Test. The test was fairly easy, the only problem was trying to get the charts to print on a separate sheet of paper from the data. I tried outlining the areas I wanted to print by using the "Set Print Area" tool, but since the test required me to change the paper to landscape form, not everything on the data table fit into its own sheet.
Finally...I can eat lunch now..

Additional Authors?
Dear Jeremy,
I thought that since I have the ability to post on your blog, I should just do it!
But I'm here to tell you that I will (right after this post) remove myself from being an author on your blog.
Nice job on your blogs, and hopefully you won't add us to be authors in the future. Instead, you'll add us to read'em only =]
[Feel free to delete this post~]

Today we created a game in Microsoft Excell. This game required the creation of complex formulas referencing different files. The file we used had drop-down boxes which were 'uberly' weird. While I was busily creating my file, I watched, and played on facebook along with Henry and Bryce. At the end, the game did not work for us because of some error with '#NAME' even though all replacements for both players' names were correct. Since Henry didn't make a player, he ganged up with Bryce and they both worked on one character. They lost epicly in the free playground against me. :)

Today's Daily News!
To-be cheerleader was supposed to go Pro until she got her Flu Shot! Apparantly ten days after her Flu shot she had a syndrome that forced her muscles to spazz and nerves to twitch constantly. The weird thing about this syndrome is that she is not able to speak very well or walk forward BUT she can walk backwards fine and while running or slowly jogging forwards, she can speak normally. As soon as she begins to walk forward, her muscles and nerves twitch constantly.

In this session of Ita we explored and continued the use of Microsoft Excell. This software is a complicated database archiver which allows users to manipulate its use of functions and complicated equations. Topics discussed today were linking data from one spreadsheet to another by creating a series of functions which identified each file and using the transferable data collected from one file to the other. By linking these items, things will change automatically after edited use of the copied data on the file which the data was copied onto. This session also let us explore the different uses of mulitple functions stored within Microsoft Excell. More than 1,000 uses via functions are found within Microsoft Excell's software.

Operating Systems
An Operating system is the core foundation to a running computer. OS' include Unix, Linux, OS X (Macintosh), Windows. Some operating systems such as Linux is an open source, free redistribution OS that is based on the functions of the Unix. Linus Torvalds is the founder of Linux and he simply allowed the community to take his software and redistribute it as seen fit. Multiple "flavors" (versions) are created by ordinary people by restructuring the coding formats.
Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, created Windows and Steve Jobs with Apple.
Operating systems work by being requested a command from the user, you. Once a user has commanded the computer to do a certain action, it will request this action through a series of codes within the hardware. This code that computers use is called Binary. Binary code is a series of 1's and 0's. The code is sent to the motherboard where it will process the information using the CPU, RAM, bus', and Hard drives. Once the information is processed, it will be sent back to the user, into the selected output device (Monitors, speakers, mouses) and translate the information from 1's and 0's to a language or action you can understand.
INTERESTING FACTS:
Your computer can only be as good as your processor.
Speaking of processors, there are a few types such as a single, duo or quad core processor.

INTERESTING FACTS:
Your computer can only be as good as your processor.
Speaking of processors, there are a few types such as a single, duo or quad core processor.
- Single core processors are capable of only doing single tasks at one time. Although you can try to multitask on a single core processor, it will not be any faster than handling one thing at a time. Freezes often occur when trying to do many things at once with a single core processor.
- Duo core processors are much faster than the single cores. These can process multiple tasks and not freeze as often as a single core processor. This processor is common among computer users.
- Quad core processors are the fastest. These processors can handle many tasks at once. Just like a guy typing, eating, drinking, and brushing his hair all at once, the quad core can handle a lot of commands the user has to offer. Most gamers (people who play games) shoot for this kind of processor because it can handle a lot of the HD (hi-definition) games.
Software
We use this everyday on computers. These are applications that are installed into the Hard drives for 1: entertainment like video games, 2: office applications such as Microsoft Office, or 3: simple anti-virus programs to protect your computer.
Software can be defined as an application that's been recorded and stored into multimedia. Videos, CDs, Games, Anti-virus, Tapes and so on. Software can be read by the Hardware pertaining to that software. A music CD can be read by hardware in cars, computers, CD players etc...
INTERESTING FACTS:
When you Torrent software, it might not be legal. Torrents allow downloads to any user without paying for the software or downloading fees. A torrent is perfectly legal just like direct downloads BUT if you download copyrighted software from torrents, then it is illegal. Many bad users do this method of "stealing" software, but this method can lead you straight to jail.
Remember, computers don't get viruses. People get Viruses!

Hardware
Multiple components in the computer make up the Hardware portion. Objects such as the Motherboard, which holds most of the important Hardware parts. Other particular parts that go on the motherboard are the PCI slots, CPU, graphics cards, NICs, HDs, bus' and other stuff such as the fan and dusty dust :D.
INTERESTING FACTS:
Troubleshooting is essential if you have no idea what's wrong with your computer. Most likely a troubleshooter will use these steps below:
The Motherboard contains two sections, the North bridge and the South Bridge. The North bridge carries out most of the main functions to processing the computer. Things to processing software, booting up the computer or allowing the computer to graphically display information all happens in a measured unit called GHz (giga hertz). GHz's are a series of spinning molecules within a computer at about one to four billion times a second (1Ghz to 4GHz). The South Bridge contains all the main connections such as Hard Drive connections. Cables run from the bottom of the motherboard to the ends of Hardrives allowing information to flow between the two or three or four connections. Hard drives can include Disk drives and floppy drives.
- CPU: Determines the processing speed at which your computer can run certain functions. Multiple processors can be bought ranging from a single core to a quad core.
- RAM: Short term memory used to quickly process the computer, like your cache.
- Hard Drives: Long term memory storage that holds up to the given size on the hard drive. Hard drives may be external or internal.
- Graphics Cards: Allows the monitor to display data being input through your keyboard or mouses.
- PCI Slots: These slots are available for extra hardware.

Troubleshooting is essential if you have no idea what's wrong with your computer. Most likely a troubleshooter will use these steps below:
- Isolate source of frustration
- Brainstorm possible ideas to fix this
- Find the cheapest and effective way to fix your problem
- Re-run to see if your problem is still occurring
