First one deleted again >:( It’s always when I forget to copy it before submitting.

– Got way more skillsoft done than usual at the expense of not comprehending it as well
– Virtualization labs again yayyyyy
– Basics of networking presentation the class got sooo into because there are INFINITE SHINY rabbitholes. The history of the internet is just the history of a bunch of guys and little committees going “It’s going to be this way because we need it to be some way and this way will do” and a subset of this is “oops the internet is turning out to be wayyyy bigger and longer lived than we thought before so lets make this thing that is about to be insufficient Actually Impossible to use up entirely (IPv4/6, Y2K bug)”
– Embarrassingly excited about Ada Lovelace
– Powers of 2 are holy numbers for computer nerds

Today, I learned how to use this blog site and worked on editing five letters. The first letter was difficult because it was very hard to see with the background colors to understand the purpose of the assignment.

I watched others get help with their sheet projects because I wasn’t supposed to be in class today.

I worked with Jose on technical issues and learned about updating a Sheets document.

I learned about employment documents and learned to hyperlink a document.

I worked on Salesforce CRM, typing and accountability project.

I posted 3 job listings in my 1st hour. Afterward, I continued to add entries to a list of organizations that provide emergency food. Like last week, I found 2 entries today. I hoped to find more, but I mostly found services with sparse information, or the food not being free unless you’re in college.

Today we started on project inception. We learned how to create virtual machines on a new program through remote desktop connection. We went over the basics of computer networking. We learned the different IP address formats and which IP address are public or private. We learned The difference between LAN and WAN and how a router is used to communicate between the two.

Today I got to visit an old friend… Sales Force. It was great to get a refreshers course. I passed the quiz with 500 and earned my first badge.
I also picked my elective for the week.. look out google docs.

I practiced typing for the first 15 minutes. I’m holding steady at 55-59 wpm. I can’t seem to break 60 wpm so I’m setting a goal for myself for end of the week … I WILL break the 60 wpm threshold.

I worked on my elective and I chose the “Art Research” project. I am having a blast with it and, so far, I think it’s coming out nicely.
