 +====January 26, 2016====
 +  * Today I learned how to have a program print a desired output and how to get a program to accept user input.
 +  * This is significant because it will help with future projects.
 +  * I somewhat understand what I am typing into my programs I have made.
 +  * Had some trouble getting the program he had us type up working.
 +====January 27, 2016====
 +  * Today I learned how to fully get an input that will give out an output when the user types an input.
 +  * This is especially significant because I could barely do this is java but now I can do it in c++.
 +  * I am getting there with this whole programming thing. Next goal, math.
 +  * Had some trouble with getting the input/output to work, but I got it.
 +====January 28, 2016====
 +  * Went more in depth with input/output today.
 +  * This is helping me with my project for this class.
 +  * I am understanding how things work.
 +  * Had some trouble getting the program to show a number multiplied by itself.
 +====January 29, 2016====
 +  * Today I got my program to fully work with squaring numbers with 5 as the last digit. I had it working yesterday, in a different manner, but it stopped working. So I took a look at it and nearly rewrote it. I made it so when a number is typed by the user the program subtracts the 5 from the number, divides it by 10, then adds 1 to the remainder and multiplies it by the remainder before it had the 1 added to it.
 +  * This gave me a lot of trouble but it made it so now I understand more how things work in the code world.
 +  * With the method used in this program it only works with 2 digit numbers. There is a way to adapt the method to work on 3 and 4 digit numbers but it's more work than it's worth.
 +  * This program really stumped me for a bit.
 +====February 1, 2016====
 +  * Learned more about setting up programs in C++. Also learned how to play tetris on Linux.
 +  * This is important because now I can play tetris on the go when I have a computer.
 +  * I am slowly understanding how to write programs and getting them to compile with few to no errors.
 +  * Right now I am hunky dory with what I am learning.
 +====February 2, 2016====
 +  * Today I learned about if statements in C++.
 +  * This is important because with this I now can do more with programs that I couldn't before.
 +  * If statements are interesting and can do incredible things.
 +  * Having trouble finding out how to remove decimals from a number that is the output of another process.
 +====February 3, 2016====
 +  * When I try to put 2000 into my program, the program stops because it can't process anything bellow 2001.
 +  * It doesn't calculate anything under 2001 because I set it to subtract 2000 from the original year.
 +  * If I switched the amount subtracted to 1900 for when a 20th century year is typed the algorithm should work.
 +====February 4, 2016====
 +  * Today we worked with switches and more if statements.
 +  * This is definitely important because this gives us more options with working around problems.
 +  * I am liking this class a lot and understanding C++ more than java.
 +  * Had some small errors with my code but found they were small typing errors.
 +====February 5, 2016====
 +  * Today we talked about more about malloc.
 +  * This is important because I don't know what that is.
 +  * This is how the program we typed in class worked.
 +  * I had some trouble getting it to work because of not including the right package.
 +====February 8, 2016====
 +  * Today we talked about loops.
 +  * This is important because loops make things easier in C++.
 +  * I am slowly understanding loops, before I couldn't even see how they worked.
 +  * I had some trouble getting my program for the project to work but I got it.
 +====February 9, 2016====
 +  * Today we went in more detail about loops and actually wrote a program with a loop.
 +  * This is important because loops make long processes faster and easier to create.
 +  * Loops are similar to summations and do a process until it is told to stop.
 +  * I had trouble learning how to get my loop to work but have fixed it.
 +====February 10, 2016====
 +  * Today we worked on loops again but with Joe's side of the class.
 +  * He showed us some of his tricks and helped clarify more detail about the loops.
 +  * Loops would make the project easier but the rules state no loops so I have something else in mind.
 +  * I had trouble getting my program to work properly but I learned it was a few typing errors.
 +====February 11, 2016====
 +  * Today we worked on an old program we made a few days ago the is a number guessing game.
 +  * We put a loop into it this time to make it so we could have multiple tries in one game.
 +  * Loops made it so the game closed after the 6th guess.
 +  * I had trouble typing this program up bought I got it.
 +====February 12, 2016====
 +  * Today I finished my multiply by 11 program.
 +  * The process used in this program could be used for 4 digit or 5 digit numbers just it would have to be tweaked a little to carry over numbers that need to be added to other numbers.
 +  * It will always the same process just a little different to work with 4 digit numbers.
 +====February 22, 2016====
 +  * Wow I am writing so much opus stuff. I am really good at it.
 +  * This is important because writing is important.
 +  * This is definitely being written on the 22nd of February.
 +  * I am glad we had this talk.
 +====February 23, 2016====
 +  * Today I am in Matt's class. There are computers here like Joe's room but they are Linux and not windows.
 +  * There are two screens per computer.
 +  * I think we talked about arrays today but I have a bad memory.
 +  * I learned so much hacking stuff today.
 +====February 24, 2016====
 +  * Today I thought about what I am having for lunch.
 +  * There was a squirrel outside.
 +  * I like squirrels.
 +  * Was Joe born bald?
 +====February 25, 2016====
 +  * Today we did array stuff.
 +  * This is what I used for part of my program.
 +  * I like coding.
 +  * What does a computer taste like?
 +====February 26, 2016====
 +  * I feel like a kid with divorced parents switching back and forth from teacher to teacher.
 +  * Both are very different in different worlds.
 +  * One uses Linux one uses Windows. One is more fluent in C++ one in java.
 +  * I like coding.
 +
 +====March 1, 2016====
 +  * Today I got hacked. The hacker wrote messages on my computer like we have your kids and I will keep messing with your tetris game.
 +  * Linux is cool because it you have to be worthy to use it.
 +  * I am hungry.
 +  * Ugh this is taking forever.
 +====March 2, 2016====
 +  * Today I forgot to do my opus.
 +  * This is bad because it was do.
 +  * I hate the opus.
 +  * Grrr this stinks.
 +====March 3, 2016====
 +  * I dislike typing sometimes.
 +  * Wow such type, many computer.
 +  * How do I type.
 +  * Meow.
 +====March 4, 2016====
 +  * I hate this so much.
 +  * Wait is this c++.
 +  * Hmm.
 +  * Bleh.

 +  * I am so sorry.
 +  * If you made it this far you are a trooper.
 +  * I swear I didn't mean for it to go like this.
 +  * Ugh.
 +====March 24, 2016====
 +  * Last time on Dinosaur Cube D.
 +  * Gogurt and Mr. Freeze fought on Napkin and blew it up.
 +  * In the process, Gogurt's friend Caillou blew up as well.
 +  * His son Gogurt jr. and Pickle man got off the planet with Vegi and Bowl lady.
 +  * The Napkins also made it off the planet as well.
 +====March 25, 2016====
 +  * After that they waited for the dinosaur's big marbles to turn clear again and used them to remake their friends.
 +  * They went to remake Gogurt but Gogurt was like no I am not coming back yet.
 +  * Vegi was like "wat" so he left.
 +  * The Napkins found a new planet.
 +====March 28, 2016====

 +====February 2, 2016====
 +  *Today I worked on the new project puzzlebox.
 +  *Viewing the file file.txt through the file function I recieved the output that the file contains ASC11.
 +  *Viewing the file file.txt through cat I recieved the output telling me the file is a simple text file containing ASC11 text.
 +  *Next I used the gzip compression tool then viewed the file using file. It gave the output that the file was compressed and the date it was last modified.
 +  *Even with the faster compression the file function still showed the same thing as before for the file when compressed with the gzip compression.When I checked it with the cat function and it spit out something different.
 +====February 9, 2016====
 +  * Today I learned how to use the vi text editor.
 +  * This is important because it can help me finish projects faster.
 +  * Vi has alot more functionality than any of the other text editors.
 +  * Having trouble remembering all the functions of vi.
 +====February 11, 2016====
 +  * Today I learned more about vi.
 +  * Vi makes things easier when you know about all of its functions.
 +  * In vi you can delete whole lines, copy whole lines and even show line number unlike nano.
 +  * Is there a way to keep syntax turned on in vi?
 +====February 23, 2016====

 +  * This is important because it'll make things a lot easier when navigating the file system.
 +  * You can search for words with a certain letter with commands.
 +  * Will never remember any of these commands.
 +====February 25, 2016====
 +  * Learned more commands to navigate with.
 +  * The ls function usually just shows the files in a certain file, with this function you can also search for other things like certain characters.
 +  * ls is very important because it will make lengthy processes shortened.
 +  * They'd be really helpful if I could remember them.
 +====March 1, 2016====
 +  * Learned about scripting today.
 +  * With it we made math.
 +  * We multiplied numbers.
