Assessment Task Number #2

Assessment Task Number #2 required me to create and publish a website using iweb and a FTP programe called Fetch. My website's inspiration was driven behind FMX rider Robbie Maddison and his achievements. My websites home page includes a little description of the sport and numerous photos, links to major sponsor webpages, a counter, RSS feeds to my blogger, and a cool Stunt Dirt Bike widget game which viewers can enjoy. The next webpage is a rider profile on 'Maddo' it includes his bio, fun facts about him and links to his photo galleries. This page also includes links to my blogger, flickr and delicious accounts. The final webpage is a tribute to Maddo's photos and videos. Its a blog of his biggest achievements and a video to go with it so you can enjoy the excitement and thrill with him. After experimenting with different colours and fonts I was capable of uploading a legit website into the csu's network called 'Maddo Maddness'.

Week nine: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the internet.  Basically it’s as simple as you need a FTP to have any chance of publishing a website on the internet. FTP is built on client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server. FTP is used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access. The FTP program which we will be using to publish our assessment task 2 website is known as Fetch. Fetch is a reliable, full-featured file transfer client for the Apple Macintosh whose user interface emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Fetch supports FTP and SFTP, the most popular file transfer protocols on the Internet for compatibility with thousands of Internet service providers, web hosting companies, publishers, pre-press companies, and more.

Week eight: iWeb – The making of a website.

iWeb is a redonkulously easy way of creating and publishing a website on the internet. With the ease of choosing your desired template and adjusting its colours and fonts and then inserting the material you want incorporated into your website. It’s as easy as stealing an anorexics lunch money. Simple as that. An awesome tool to use in this particular program is the HTML snippet. This allows the user to embed a video into his/her website. Due to this particular programs functional capabilities it makes it effortless to make a seemingly hard task doable by a class of monkeys.   

Assessment #1 Blog Post

Intro

MPI – 104 is an introduction to multimedia. Since beginning this subject I have used Google mail to create blogger, FlickR and delicious accounts. The purpose of joining these sites is to engage in sharing information and content with other users. It is all about being active online and being capable of communicating in a community based network. This subject also involved the learning of some basic HTML coding.

Blogger

The topic I elected to blog about was the big league news. This included match reviews, previews, stats, results and all the happenings in the rugby league world. I included embedded videos from YouTube, created 3 links throughout my blogging experience and inserted an image into one of my blogs. I have 13 blog posts including this one and the mandatory blogger, FlickR and delicious ones which were completed in class. I have commented on a few of my classmates blogs. I commented on Micheal Churchill’s, Gregg Henderson’s, Cameron Donoghue’s and Chris Worlands. Links below:

Popular Post

I have also experimented with different templates, colours and fonts and the reasoning behind my selected choice is mainly to do with relating my topic to its background. I have also included a number of links and applied a few gadgets to help with the aesthetics and function of my blog space.  

FlickR

In total I uploaded 12 images to my FlickR account. The images mainly consist of the uni shenanigans of living on campus. I have favourited 4 images and commented on a fellow classmates.

Upon creating a delicious account I was quite surprised that I would enjoy using it. I find the concept of having a site which bookmarks all of your most used and visited sites to be a great idea and very useful. I have bookmarked 8 sites these including my blogger, master blog, my FlickR, a classmate’s blog and a number of my favourite websites.

Leagues Night of Nights

The Dally M Awards evening took place last night which saw the race between three top gun players who were all in close contention for the afamed prize of the Dally M medal. With West Tigers five-eighth Benji Marshall as favourite as the other two players North Queensland Cowboys halfback Jonathon Thurston and Melbourne Storms fullback Billy Slater both had indents during the season which could of cost them a few vital points. Thurston's being from the injury he suffered from in game threes state of origin which put him out for a good part of the season and Slater's resting during the Sydney Roosters thumping.

Round 26 (HOW BIG DO U WANT UR WOODEN SPOON!) :P

With the regular season coming to an end after this round it is do or die for some teams who would like to make one last impression before the business begins in the finals. Although the top eight have pretty much been cemented in place I believe the game of this round is not going to be between any of the front running teams. I think the must watch game is going to be between the Parramatta Eels and the Gold Coast Titans. Yes that is correct a no hold back game of footy between two teams that desperately dont want to be the recipients of the bottom of the ladder wooden spoon. Both sides are fully capable of putting on a good show but due to inconsistancy it is sad to see both of these entertaining clubs not taking any part in the final series. The last time these two clubs met in round 7 we were on the edge of our seats watching a thrilling 80minute performance. Here is a little trip down memory lane for those of you who cant remember.
