#13 Week11 HTML + CSS Code

Oh my God!!! I thought that I no need to know how to write the code, but Max talked about it in the lecture and Nathan taught how to write in the tutorial!!!! In the class, I had to write the code on the HTML and CSS. I'm still so confused! I can only distinguish between them, but I still don't know how to write it probably.

HyperText Markup Language = The set of make up symbol or codes which inserted in a file intented for display on World Wide Web browser page.

Cascading Style Sheet = A series of instructions that specify how text should appear on a web page. Also it is used to set style for text, borders, and other elements.

#12 Week10 Multiplicity

Today, I've learned about 'Wisdom of crowds'. It didn't make sense for me at first. After I looked up on the Wikipedia, I understand it ,and it really is the best sample of this topic.

'Wisdom of Crowds' is about aggregation of information in group of people/ or combination of people's decisions.

It combines with.....
1 Diversity of opinion
Each person have private info.
2 Independence
Each person have their own opinion
3 Decentralisation
They are able to specialise + draw on their local knowleadge
4 Aggregation
Umm... this one is hard to explain, but I can give an example.
Like I said... Wikipedia is the best sample. That's because everyone can post their knowledge , yet everyone else also can change/ adapt [ I should use Improve, but it's not always] the exist information.

#11 History of the Internet

I'm so bored, I've got nothing to do. Therefore, I just look at something in order to update my blog for Networked Media Production subject. Thus, I searched about History of the Internet.

The Internet was ARPANET (in USA)
Advanced Research Projects Agency used to connect computer networks across USA and then across around the world.

Anyway, people used it for sending the data. Unfortunately, the Internet at that time is so slow, and the data is quite huge! Thank God that humans are so clever, they chop the data down in order to make it smaller [called 'Packet switching'].

However, they got some problem with the data because the receivers did not know which data comes first. Therefore, every time when they send the packet switching, they attached Metadata, which controls the direction of packet switching, as well.

#10 Holiday Trip in Sydney!























Most of my clothes in my closet are T-shirt. So, it can be said that I love to wear T-shirt the most. Finally, I found the shop which is plenty of cool T-shirt. There are more than 100 design for me to pick, yet I bought just one because of the limitation of the size. The shop name is DesignTshirtsStoregraniph. Also, the website is so cool. I can pick their design and adapt it for my work or assignment.

#9 Work experience @ CASA

CASA = Civil Aviation Safety Authority
At first, I was so confused why their job is about Aircraft, Airport, or Pilot. Interestingly, they work on about security in the air; thus, they have to do regulation + the system which can control and keep track of every situation. Significantly, they use ORACLE for doing the system. I'll find what it is. They just told me that if something happens or any problem, this company will solve.
By the way, I'm getting bored now because I have to read and learn how they work in the process. It's not about Media at all. However, I'm dreaming about work experience at Prime channel now. Hmm, I wish!!!

#8 After Assignment1

I couldn't figure out how to use dreamweaver, so I decided to use 'Blogger' which i didn't want to. My work is really bad, and it's totally different from my plan, yet I finished it. Anyway, now I've got a work experience job from CASA. I think it would be something which I can learn about the internet, and I'll post it on my blog for the holiday coming.
