Another 'Lucky' Day


Today’s class was not as interesting as before. The lecture was good but registering group for our assignment was quite chaotic. This was because we did not have enough computers for all of us to assess the internet. Plus, some of the computers were not in a good condition. In my opinion, it would be a good idea if wireless internet with router is used in the computer laboratory so that those who did not manage to get a computer in the laboratory can bring their own laptop and assess the internet easily. Another suggestion is that, the class should be divided into two classes that will be held at MK1 and MK2. This enables all of us to assess the internet on our own without sharing computers with others. As for me, sharing computers for doing practical activities is not effective in learning. This is because we need to have hands-on experience of operating the computers in learning this course that mainly requires us to ‘play’ with the technology. It would be difficult for some of us who are not really good in using the technology as they do not have the opportunity to use the computer. However, I did learn something new from today’s class such as storing, encoding, saving and downloading.

1) downloading- keepvid, save2pc, video downloader, real player II, limewire,
flashget, orbit downloader, ares, download accelerator plus,
internet download manager.
2) encoding - viva encoder, flv converter, super converter, transcoding tool,
daemon tool, alcohol 120%
3) saving - hard disk, thumb drive and external disk
4) storing - CD, DVD.

Unluckily, the sad part of today’s class was when I was being yelled by someone. I wrongly joined the particular group that the person wanted to join for our group assignment. I believed that it was quite rude to yell at someone like that for the mistake I have done. Plus, we already knew each other for four years and the person should talk to me personally for the mistake that I have done…Moreover, I am a tolerate person and I can accept if the person talked to me personally about the problem. Luckily, I managed to join the other group and I was grateful that my group members were very supportive and most importantly, accepting me as their group member =) I hope my group can produce a good product for our assignment later =) Wish me luck.

sorry to hear that you were yelled at on the second class. was it me?
well, have already spoken to the Timbalan Dekan in request for a wireless router for the LAB and he was quite helpful. after the class, i wrote a formal letter to apply for the device, so let us just pray that we will get one for this class so that problems could be eliminated.
