Tales from NET11: This is the end, Beautiful friend
http://funkygiraffe.blogspot.com/2007/05/this-is-end-beautiful-friend.html
My learning log for NET11 studies @ Curtin. Saturday, 26 May 2007. This is the end, Beautiful friend. As NET11 draws to an end, I have been thinking a lot about how my understanding (or at least, my viewpoint) of the internet has developed since beginning this unit. Or a jar of jellybeans? To be honest, I think I could now describe the internet to an eskimo using the right approach and this is a genuinely exciting prospect. I guess I would describe NET11 as a 'creeper' if you get that concept. As I got t...

Tales from NET11: Module 4 Tasks
http://funkygiraffe.blogspot.com/2007/04/module-4-tasks.html
My learning log for NET11 studies @ Curtin. Sunday, 22 April 2007. For this task I only downloaded Glooten, before I found it it was for Mac OS 8.6 , and Sherlock is fairly useless without specific channels, so I used a web based meta search engine. Using Google (being my most commonly used search engine) to search for 'advanced internet users' I found an even 114,000,000 result returned! Where should I start? The first result returned (in both cases) is for a page at www.k12science.org. CIESEChoosing a ...

Tales from NET11: Module 3 Tasks
http://funkygiraffe.blogspot.com/2007/04/module-3-tasks.html
My learning log for NET11 studies @ Curtin. Monday, 2 April 2007. I completed the Volcano Web task and have successfully posted it onto my webct presentations page. It was quite straightforward as I have a basic understanding already of html and css - now I really need to design another front end for my presentations page! I decided to actually print out the concepts and slug through them rather than refer to them in each module, interesting reading too! Optional Standards Task 1. 1 Get to the point!
