Semester Review

Hmmm lets see... I believe the question is what I haven't learnt this semester. MPI 104 has been a bit of a blur actually. Looking back at all of the things we've covered in class this semester is insane; there's a lot to absorb there. I have to say that some things came more easily than other things; doing Athene for one thing and then uploading the webpage, that was a particular "AHHHHHHHH!!!!" thing for me; for some reason I couldn't get my head around it until much later in the game, with some much appreciated guidance. I particularly enjoyed doing Blogger, Flickr and Del.icio.us, they were by far my favourites. I use Flickr all the time; it came in handy when doing forum posts for VFX 101. Del.icio.us was a surprise because I didn't think that I'd use it very much, but I've ended up using it quite frequently since I first created my account. HTML was generally a freaksome subject to learn at first, but I took some time outside of class to research it and really firmly get my head around it, which was awesome because it meant that I could put some amazing backgrounds on my blog page YAY!!! It's difficult to sum everything up, because the "everything" is "a lot" to sum up. However, one of the more recent topics that we covered was RSS or "Really Simple Syndication" (I think the simple part is a bit of a stretch but hey) I was pleasantly surprised to learn this topic because it means now that I never miss out on what's happening in Anime News, it's a great way to keep on top of things I have to say. I think it's fair that I've learnt a lot in this subject and been exposed to a wide variety of crafty computer savvy things, which I'm glad that I know about now!!! I think, however, that there is definitely room for improvement; I've got to learn to not get so freaked out about potentially meticulous technical computer jargon because it comes with time.
