 PBX1: Puzzle Box Next.  This project was extremely fun for me to work on.  I really enjoyed having to use everything I have learned, and not learned, to solve and finish this project.  I'm really getting the hang of general usage of the system and even have created some of my own tools to expedite certain tasks.  In class we learned that there are secrets hidden within the vogue UK website, which was definitely fun.  We also played a few games, and were even encouraged to do so as they help us to understand how the system works.  I'm really enjoying the class, and it truly is becoming one of the best classes I have ever taken; and that's saying something. PBX1: Puzzle Box Next.  This project was extremely fun for me to work on.  I really enjoyed having to use everything I have learned, and not learned, to solve and finish this project.  I'm really getting the hang of general usage of the system and even have created some of my own tools to expedite certain tasks.  In class we learned that there are secrets hidden within the vogue UK website, which was definitely fun.  We also played a few games, and were even encouraged to do so as they help us to understand how the system works.  I'm really enjoying the class, and it truly is becoming one of the best classes I have ever taken; and that's saying something.

 +Over the past few classes we have been learning how to create basic shell scripts.  It's quite useful to be making things that can perform tasks for me.  I also enjoyed creating the basic number guess game.  I feel as though I accomplished something when I was able to understand what made up the program and exactly how it worked.  This isn't the case in some of my other classes where I just know how something has to be and that's the only reason for it.  The ability to construct something and understand it and how it works, and why it works is extremely rewarding.

 +Lately I've been working on the web page adventure project,wpa0. I've been learning a lot about html and how it works.  Html tags can be quite annoying, but they're easy enough to use.  I never realized how much work went into making just a simple text filled page with some buttons on it.  Making the adventure is fun, however.  It allows me to be creative, which in all honesty, I haven't been in quite a while.  I feel like i may be putting a little more effort than necessary into the project, but like I said, I am enjoying it so it makes it easy and I don't really mind.  I'm just about finished, have a couple more rooms to create and a few pictures and the map to finish, but all in all it has been an enjoyable experience.

 +Last week in class we ended up with no power, so that was definitely an experience. We obviously didn't get much completed.  This week, udr0 is due, Unix Data Recovery.  I haven't gotten too far into the project, meaning I have compiled the dectohex program and looked at everything else.  I am not proficient or experienced in C at all, so I am not sure what it really does, or how it works, but I'm sure it will be useful.  I really enjoy these types of projects as it forces me to look at something in a completely different way, or try to figure ways around a certain aspect I may not even know about yet; that's the beauty of this class though.  It forces you of of a box to go looking for an answer and a way to solve an issue.

 +Over the last week we've been working more with scripting; this includes this weeks project, sfp0.  So far, it's coming along well.  I'm glad that we have been working with scripting so much lately, as it really is just a tool to make everything that much easier.  We looked at regular expressions as well, which were also interesting to learn about.  They can be a little confusing at points, but overall I think they are extremely neat.

 +Project sfp0 has been quite fun to work on.  It's definitely made me look outside the box to solve different issues, then go back and change certain aspects that may not have worked as well as others; some may have even been broken as I went on with the project and had to be changed.  I was stuck on getting break weeks to work for a quite a while, but think I have finally figured it out.  Otherwise, the rest of the project, I feel, was relatively straight forward and simple to accomplish once formatting was fixed.  I didn't do much over Thanksgiving break, but that's probably not a bad thing.  TWO WEEKS LEFT!
