MODULE THREE - BEGINNINGS

I was very interested in the possiblility of reading about the development of the world's first Weblog, however the link provided by curtin showed 'access denied'.

Instead I went to CERN the address of the world's first web site and server, designed by Tim Berners-Lee in the late 1980's.

The system, set up as a tool to aid physicists in answering questions about the universe has developed in to over 80 million web sites with 100's of millions of users. According to what I read on the CERN site, "most households today hve computers not to comute, but to go on the web".

Fascinating - let's hope there will be some customers out there for me in my eventual "Under the Tree" web design business!

I'm excited about this module as I have always wanted to learn HTML and be able to create web sites. I have found my way around the world of Blog ok, and so moving on with enthusiasm now...............

TIME FOR ANOTHER PHOTO!

Just browsing through my blog and too much 'blue space', so here's a picture of me and my 'baby'............... she was very ill last week which put me a little behind in my Net studies, but we're back on track now!

MODULE TWO- SELF EVALUATION

Well it took me 3 goes at it to reach a score of 85.5%. Two questions wrong were 11. A person wo belongs to an email list of other internet discussion communities, but who does not actively participate is known as a .............. I thought it was something like 'lurk' - Im sure I read that somewhere, but I will search that one out again. Seems like such a simple question but I do not want to spend too much time on it at this stage as Module three awaits.

Second question I got wrong, and one I am still at odds with is 18. If I don't have an account on an FTP server, I would need to logon as anonymous user. To do this I would use........ for user name and my ....... as the password. When I did the task on FTP where we had to FTP to curtin.edu.au I clicked on anonymous and an automatic password was put in for me in the form of ************ -how am I to know what it was??? Still confused about this one but will try to get back to it later, must press on.

MODULE TWO- NEWS GROUPS

As instructed I selected and followed a chosen newsgroup for a couple of days, and then post a message to the group.

I contributed to this post but as yet have had no reply.

I have 'cut and pasted' while still trying to work out how to actually copy and paste a 'screen shot' to my blog................

Steve Irwin's death has effected many people around the world in many ways. It's 'our turn' now to help Bindi follow on in her dad's footsteps with the amazing work he did for wildlife conservation.
