Tuesday - Assignment three started

We cracked straight into work today as we did not have a starter. As I finished assignment two yesterday, I could work on assignment three straight away. I did have some small changes to do on the website unit for assignment two so I decided to finish them first.

After I finished those changes, I started to organize my images for assignment three as I had not sorted any of them out. I also got my list for the tasks that allowed me to tick off each task as I wrote them in the document. This was quite useful as when I come back to working on it I can check the checklist.

In the end I managed to get down to where I was explaining about installing the RAM and how much RAM I was going to install. I will be aiming to finish task one by Thursday however there is a lot to do so I am not sure if I can finish it by then.

Monday - Assignment two finished

We started off today with watching some videos about robots and about how they can move objects from a shelf. This was quite interesting as robots are advancing a lot now. Another news article John showed us was about how Wi-Fi signals can charge devices such as a camera.

After that we moved onto working on our work. I was aiming to finish assignment two today so I have the rest of the time to work on assignment three and hopefully get that submitted soon. I firstly moved over the images from my phone for assignment three so tomorrow I can get on and work on assignment three.

Finally I managed to get assignment two done. This was not too hard however it did take some time to find all of the main components and decide which ones I wanted. This did take most of the day as I was helping Adam with trying to get his network adapter working however it was not fixed.

Friday - Practical

The starter today was three quizzes about computer systems, functions of OS and CPU. I found this quite interesting as there was a little game between each question. In the end I managed to get 25/30 in the three quizzes and I was proud with it.

After that I started the practical for assignment three. I had a windows XP machine with 2GB RAM and a 3GHz processor. This was quite good however I decided that it needed a dedicated graphics card and more RAM so I installed that.

The installation was not too hard and I found it quite enjoyable to do. I had to install the drivers that was not too hard and I think that the computer runs a lot more smoother now. I just have to add in the files to the user accounts and wait for the disk defragger to finish.

Thursday

Today's starter was a quiz about how well can you hear audio quality. There were six questions in total and they all had three different audio quality that were 128knps, 320 kbps and a wav file. The wav file is the highest quality however I only selected that one twice out of the six times. 

After that we had a recap on assignment three and had a sheet going around about assignment one/two. I found the recap quite helpful as sometimes I do forget parts and it helps to hear different ways to do it. 

For the rest of the day I was working on some re submissions and my checklist for assignment three. I had nearly finished it so this did not take too long to do but I did get a little bit confused however I managed to work it out in the end. I only have one re submission left now however I will do that over the weekend.
