Simplicity is Truly a Beauty


The more multifarious, the more animation, the more colorful, the superior. Are you sure? Really? I thought, it was true but I just realize that I was wrong. Sir Tom said that if your presentation is simple, it is better. Computer Science is not only for making powerpoint presentations but also for making better powerpoint presenters. Like Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, he always presents simple presentations but are loved by many because they can fathom it easily.

HTML Quizzes and Activities

HTML maybe a little difficult for beginners like me. As day passes, activities and quizzes gets harder. But if you study harder, you may get it. Memorizing HTML Tags (Text Formatting, Fonts and Colors) might be a little difficult if you don't study. Images are defined with the <img> tag. Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag). Each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). <td> tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc. Header information in a table are defined with the <th> tag. Exercises are also good to us. No matter how hard or easy it is, it is important. It trains us to be good and better.

Don't understand the title? That's how I can express what I learned on our fourth lesson (HTML). HTML documents are also called "Web Pages". Memorizing the tags maybe a little difficult for me, specially memorizing the codes the colors. "HTML tags" and "HTML elements" are often used to describe the same thing.

Second Quiz, Second Quarter


Arghhh! I don't wanna remember these quiz again. But since our project is about our experiences inside the Comlab, I will share it to you. Ohh, this day, another day for quiz. I thought it would be easy compared to the first quiz about Protocols and DNS, but I was wrong. My score was worse compared to the first quiz. I attempted twice the number of mistakes of the mistakes I made on the first quiz. I was expecting to be a perfect score. Then I remembered, "Don't expect too much if you didn't study well and not prepared to take the quiz". Study, study and study!

Do's and Don'ts of Online Communication


Read the title again. I bet you know what topic we discussed on this day. Yeah right, its Netiquette! Netiquette is also a set of rules. Just like the Protocol. The difference of the two is that Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. Netiquette (Internet + Etiquette). My most favorite line in this lesson is "Behave online as you do in real life". Some Privacy and Security Threats are Malware/Virus, Hacking, Cyber Bullying, Spamming, Flooding/Mail Bomb, DoS, Forgery/Identity Theft. These are only a flashback of our lesson. Wanna know more?

Web Searching Tips and Tricks

In this topic, I really learned a lot. Because this topic consists of many, many, many lessons. I just realize that not only searching and surfing on sites but I can use Google as a calculator, measurement conversions, get the time from different places, get currency conversions, check the weather and get definitions.

First Quiz, Second Quarter


First Quiz? I don't really know if this is still a high grade or not. I made 2 mistakes which is "FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a UDP-based network, such as the Internet". I answered True which is False. And, "DHCP stands for" Domain Hierarchical Configuration Protocol" which is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. I don't know why I answered this weird 4-letter phrase. Maybe because of my nervousness struck me because this is our fist quiz on Second Quarter.

Warm Welcome of Second Quarter


First day. Not really my first day of my life nor first day of my school but my first day in second quarter. The quarter after the first quarter. Ohh, Protocols and DNS welcomed me in my Second Quarter. Let me discuss to you a short description what a Protocol is to refresh your mind. Based on our lessons, a protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computer on a network. I can say that this lesson is fun.
