Database Reasons

     Why track contact info in a DB instead of a spread sheet?

-Because with Access, you can put the Data into a report and sort your contacts by any way you'd like

     Describe 2 ways that you expect to retrieve the data when you need to run a report and when you need to search a table

-One way would be using a Query and the other would be building a form.

Hey there,

Today we did a goldilocks powerpoint that I would like to share with you

Daily Blog October 15th 2013

    Evening all,

    Today in class we started lesson 7 of our IC3 booklet and grinded through some more A+ notes. Our IC3 lesson was about Windows Common Features.we did stuff like Customizing preferences in all the office apps and messed around with the Program Defaults.

     A+ notes were about Windows Troubleshooting and Fixing Hard drives. After that, Tyler and I began a new task. To load Windows Vista onto our dual boot computer and make it triple bootable! We have just finished partitioning the drive and will update on it as we continue the task. For your guys' A+ snack, I found a forum about someone who triple booted Vista, XP and Mac OS Leopard. Give 'er a read.

     Thanks,


     Quinn

Evenin' all


     Today was all stuff on IC3 and our IDS prep.

     We finished the first part of our IC3 textbook, so we did a practice test. I BARELY failed which disappoints me greatly because I thought I knew what I was talking about in that quiz.

     After that we spent time working on our post course Resumes and cover letters as well as do some more practice calls. I'm glad we do these exercises because even tho I am an actor and have no problem talking in front of people, I do still have a hard time talking over the phone. I think I'm gonna nail that phone call when I have to make it.

     That was pretty much it for today, night.

Howdy,


     Today started off with some IC3 talking about boot processes aswell as some mild troubleshooting and cloud storage comparisons. Check out my previous posts involving unresponsive mice and a comparison table talking about Skydrive, Google Drive, Lenovo Sugar Sync ad Ubuntu One.

     After that we spent the rest of the day wiping hard drives and (starting from scratch might I add) successfully install Windows 7 and a LINUX distribution and then be able to properly dual boot. Needless to say, Tyler and I got it working after one retry. (also the first ones to do it)

   Thats it for today,

Hey Guys,

     Today in class we spent most of the day doing IC3 stuff. Our A+ Material consisted of Registry Notes. I found some stuff talking about registry if anyone is interested in learning more about the subject.

     part two of the day was me being the first one to successfully Dual-Boot Lubuntu and Ubuntu 10.0 alongside eachother. Not without my share of errors tho. But still successful in the end!.  

     I recomend Checking out Lubuntu if you have even a mild interest in LINUX based Operating Systems. It's fun to use and can be good for many things

Thanks all,

    Quinn

Greetings Earthlings,

     Today we did some more IC3 Stuff. Today we started Lesson 4: Control Panel.
     As a take away thing, don't buy those "clip" USB flash drives if you plan to use them to boot a computer with as they wont work. (this was my problem)

We did a couple of different things including Changing Displays, Customization and messing around with Screensavers. Pretty simple and straightforward but still fun.

     After that, we spent about an hour on booting up our USB Drives that we slaved over all day yesterday. I Finally went out and bought another USB drive and finally the I got the damn thing to work. I successfully installed windows and got the drivers installed and walked away with a finished product.

These are the suckers.

That's all folks.

Quinn
