Blog story
So I'm trying to figure out how to make my story more fun cuz right now it's looking like its just going to be tons of Text followed by one or two pics but then a crap load of text. Text is boring I don't like to read it and I'm pretty sure you guys don't want to either so I need ideas on how to make it come to life.
The Summary of the story is just a small production group going through the trouble and stress of working under a tight deadline. the story is mainly told through blog post of the different workers doing their various task. in each blog post you'll find the writer of the post needs to make a decision on something that can affect the out come of the production and you the reader gets to make that decision. as exciting as that sounds it still renders the story as being told only through text. I wanty to try to break away from that.

I'm kind of in awe at how fast this semester has gone by. It feels like just yesterday we were assigned our first project..and now our research papers and proposals are due tomorrow (or today, because it's already 1 am)....this is all kind of crazy. I'm excited to see what you guys created for the class site proposals, as now we all have a better grasp of the programs. I chose to complete the research paper because my dreamweaver expired :( but i'm going to have to download it onto another computer to complete the final project. And speaking of this final assignment, I'm having trouble coming up with a story; some of my ideas are too ambitious considering the time, and others just don't make sense. Hope you guys are having better luck than I am. Well, good luck with our final work here..and with finals everywhere else!

New CSUN Web Portal.. NOT HELPING!!!
Yesterday i was decided to check what classes i would b taking next semester. so i went on my portal and tried to go to search classes i chose SPRING 2011 and pressed next and asked me again so i put SPRING 2011 after going thru 1900s list of classes.. when i finally get a list of classes its gives me FALL 2010 classes???
Today was my registration day... and like all CSUN students know.. you have to go light speed to add your classes because they are available one second and closed the other. So i logged in and went to add my classes. Selected "SPRING 2011" pressed next chose search for class and __ __ __ __.. just to get thru that page it took me like 5 min. so i took another way around.. i browsed the catalog.. much faster..
This is for you guys that have your registration coming up. Don't bother with class search ... browse the catalog and you'll be done soon. (also double check that the classes u see before your registration window opens are really being offered.. for some reason the times i had seen the night be fore were nowhere this morning?? just a heads up).. =D

Class Page Proposal
I'm almost done with my web proposal and I began to do the site itself to try it out but I've hit an annoying bug!!. I'm using div tags within div tags with rollover images in those divs. I insert wrapper div first and then in that div I insert another (yes i did choose "at insert point" and "After tag" insert options for them). The problem is that whatever I do, when I try to position my divs they position themselves relative to the whole page rather than the wrapper tag even if I put absolute. Could it be a CS5 related problem?? HELP!!! ..lol

The Dollars Chatroom
http://dollars-bbs.org/
I found this website after watching the series. It's really cool because it is almost a perfect copy of that chatroom that the character constructed. I hope many of you will join so that I can get each person's personal preference in the class website.
the password is: baccano.
-On the main page, click on "chatroom".
-Choose an Avatar on the right, and type in a username in the box. Then hit enter.
-Once you're in you can create a chatroom here. Keep an eye out for "WebArt201" and then click login to it. If there is no chatroom, create one with that title. The room can only hold 20 people unfortunately, so just create another one like "WebArt201room2".
Project 2
I have no idea what I wanna do for a storyline on the ebook. I have like 3 that come to mind immediately but no idea which one deserves the time. Each one of these stories has been considered for a game plot or stripped from a game plot proposal. these are all orrginal.
To summarize them up. the first is a love triangle where there's the guy,his girlfriend and then the best friend that wants him. that one is kinda interactive and can go either way. it's actually a plot twist in my game storyline.
The second is about a leader that's been under so much pressure he finally snaps, and goes rouge bringing down the very empire he gave his soul to defend.
The Third is about a production group trying to hit their deadline and they blog about all the junk that gets in their way

Webmastering 101
I saw a post about becoming a webmaster, and I figured I explain the easiest way to publish your website with the most flexibility.
Hosting:
Hosting is when you upload your files to a server to host your website's content. When a web browser opens a URL, it uses a protocol to request the files from the server. Hosting typically can be purchased from many different variety of hosts. For most basic websites that have minimal traffic, I recommend basic shared hosting from companies such as HostGator.com such like.
TIP: NEVER BUY YOUR HOSTING FROM WHERE YOU BUY YOUR DOMAIN.
If you ever have problems with your hosting, they will hold your domain name responsible and usually the hosting is usually low quality. It's better to purchase your hosting from a company that specializes in it.
When you sign up for hosting, you will be given DOMAIN NAME SERVERS (DNS). These will be used for when you configure your domain. They are used to provide the IP Address to the requesting client for your domain name.
Domain:
A domain name is an easy to remember identifier for your website's IP address. A domain name typically costs about $10 a year. You can purchase a domain name from a variety of companies but I personally recommend NameCheap.com (don't let the name fool you) for their flexibility and options. You could also purchase it from GoDaddy.com or another registrar.
Once you have purchased your domain name, use the registrar control panel to set the DNS to your host.
TIP: Make your domain name easy to remember, short, and natural-sounding. Avoid dashes, underscores, and numbers unless it's a short word.
FTP:
To upload your files, you will need to use a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client to connect to the web server. After you have uploaded your files, configured the domain name, and purchased hosting, you will be able to access those files from a web browser.
Recommended choices:
Domain name: http://namecheap.com/
Hosting: http://hostgator.com/
FTP Client: http://filezilla-project.org/

Is Quality These days Excessive?
My parents bought one of those new HD or DNA TVs that apparently make the movies you watch appear blue-ray, which is on top of the new blue-ray they already have. And when they watched some movies on it I thought, "There's just so much stuff forced on this to make it look good that it looks cheap."
I tend to get into this discussion with people because I feel like we are trying so hard to make everything "high-quality" that we conversely ruin the quality instead. HD, Blue-Ray, 3D, HDNA, Auto-Tuning, etc. it's just all so excessive to me that I worry about what we'll have to look forward to in our future with the next generations. It'd be a real budget-saver if we'd put more money into our food-economy than installing new HDNA-3D TVs in our dens that's for sure.

Animated .gif Vs. Animated .png!!!
As i was working on my proposal for the class website i began to search for possible ways to create an Animated Gif with a transparent background (I'm new to extensions meanings). Took me a while to find NOTHING!!. Animated Gifs can's show transparency. BUT .PNG DOES?? IS THERE A WAY TO ANIMATE PNG???
I began to do some research and found that indeed there is a way to ANIMATE A PNG!!
.apng Format is an unofficial extension and was rejected by the PNG Group back in 2007 but this looks like something that would be very useful if it ever gets passed.
Animated PNG files work similarly to animated GIF files with differences like:
-it supporting 24-bit images and 8-bit transparency.
-It saves the first frame as a normal .png withing the file and the rest of the animation separately so that browsers that don't support the files could load the first frame instead of a blank where the animation should be.
- AND DID I MENTION IT SUPPORTS TRANSPARENCY!!.
.gifs are good but not good when we need to add a glow or shadow to the animation.. check it out!! here are some links for you to compare the differences...
Open using FireFox and EI so u can c what I'm talking about.. =)

Random find
So sometimes I feel like we easily forget how amazing people actually are. We go about our daily lives, focused only on things that fall within our scope. Yet, if we allow ourselves to take a look around, we'll often realize the truly astonishing actions of others. So heres a quick link to get you pumped up on being apart of an awesome species.

I learned how to Webmaster!!!
Hey Guys,
Hope Everyone's Halloween was great. Mine was a little more techie than I would have liked. Friday I had The fun job of wiping a server. That pretty much means I'm making it like brand new out of the box with nothing installed. Moreno (Tech Teacher at PHS)starts by telling me " This is a Long Complicated procedure that took me a year to setup perfectly, so you have a week." this is the guy I go to with all my tech problems and he was scared to touch the thing for years.
Long Story short I created a live web server with an active forum and database last weekend, there is so much beyond just the web pages. Being an Admin is awesome!!!

Upcoming projects
Hi All!
I hope everyone had a fun Halloween weekend.
Does everyone have a ton of projects coming up for the rest of your classes? I know I do, but come December I am done with CSUN!
For those of you who are doing the research paper, what site are you considering doing? I am just curious. I am going to do my paper on http://www.tenement.org/ If you haven't looked at the site, you should. It has a lot of interactive features and if you are at all interested in US history it gives you a lot of information on European immigration!
Good luck to you all on the rest of your semester!
