After another week of class, it was not going too bad. Unfortunately, I lost my wallet sometime after the first week, and I couldn't purchase the software for the class. Luckily for me, I was able to get some done in advance. The class felt slower because I could not do some of the work in class. However, a thing to mention is that I arrived early to take the Bonus Quiz, and I did horribly. Next week, the professor is offering the same thing, and personally, I'm going to be okay without bothering again. He was a bit late but had a valid excuse; another reason for me to go was to fix some formatting issues on discussion points. I wanted to fix it during class, but there was no time. Just yesterday, though, I finally purchased the software to finish the assignments. It's getting frustrating, however, with random discussion assignments posted randomly. I just finished one of them, and as I was writing this, another one got posted.... oh well, that's for the next week.
For this week's discussion post, I chose 2.5.9 Network Server Facts. I always enjoyed the idea of one day hosting a server and building a website. The servers behind every favorite website are huge and massive, considering the amount of traffic they can get daily. The patience and knowledge of these basic facts can help me understand client-server models. Before this I couldn't tell what would suit best for my ideal website. How a company manages and chooses its servers is important and even more important for me when these basic principles can prevent the website from crashing, run more smoothly, and have a better experience scrolling through in general. I started to look around, and with this understanding now I personally believe making the right choice when I decide to launch my site will be a lot more easy.
It's wonderful to catch up on your week 2, and I genuinely hope you recover your wallet soon. I opted not to attempt the bonus quiz; waking up even earlier isn't something I'm keen on. I'm genuinely pleased that you did it and shared your experience. Despite facing various challenges, you're excelling in your blogging endeavors and staying consistent – that's truly commendable!
ReplyDeleteLearning about servers is important. I remember from work how many times we sat around waiting because of the infamous words: "The server crashed, and waiting for it to come back up."
ReplyDeleteJonathan, Even though you have faced many huddles in this course, You are consistent in your blog assignments and this is your 3rd blog. This is one of the positive note that you have in IS101. All the best Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you were able to work ahead despite losing your wallet which interfered with continuing your assignments. Hosting a server and building a website sounds like an exciting goal, especially with your interest in understanding network server facts. Knowing these basics will definitely help you make informed decisions for your future website.
ReplyDeleteHey Jonathan, I admire your resiliency in catching up in LabSim and taking the bonus quiz despite being behind. I hope you have found your wallet as well. Wish you the best of luck in launching a website!
ReplyDeleteHey Jonathan, do not stress about getting low grades on the bonus quiz; you are not alone. What matters is that you made the effort to take the bonus quiz and learn from it, right?
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like you've had quite the journey with your class! Your enthusiasm for learning about network servers and website hosting is contagious, and it's awesome to see how you're already thinking ahead to your own website. Keep up the great work, and soon enough, you'll be rocking your very own corner of the internet!
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathon! I agree with you, the first couple weeks of this class did seem pretty overwhelming. It seemed to slow down a bit and once we all figured out how to use the software that is required made things so much easier. I hope you found your wallet and you had the same experience as me with the pace of this class!
