Well the semester has come to an end and there's a lot learned plus many more to gain from this couse and all other course.  I hope that this will carry on to the future of my career and anyone else.....

I am just having a ton of problems with my paper this weekend.  I can't seem to format it correctly in XML.  I don't know if anyone else is having a problem but I think that it may just be syntax errors. 

Has anyone filled up their car lately?  I'm shocked at what the current price is for a gallon of gas.  It's been going up and up lately and seems like there's no end to it.  When will we see any relief in this economy.  Does anyone have a possible solution for this madness?  It's going to be a burden for those who commutes a long way to school and work.  I suggest that we just have more online classes or telecommute for work.   

I just read an article about IBM's new super chip which could process 5 billion instructions per second.  It's amazing how far technology has come and where will it be a few years from now. The endless seach for better and faster ways to work with technology is always fun to learn about.

  In working on my paper I found that there was quite a bit of articles on it but it's hard to fit the paper on only 1000 words.  I may have to look over the articles again to see what else I may have missed. 

Taking a look at the course available for summer, I feel that there aren't much MIS course offered.  Aside from that I need to look for intership and it's so time consuming to look while working all day too.  Time management is key at this point.  Everything is just happening so fast.

Well, Spring break is over and work is back in session.  The last lab was a bit confusing for me since I seem to have deleted something that I shouldn't have but I will have to go through the previous labs to look over what we've done. 

Also, at this time I'm really looking to fine interships for the summer and any help in directing me in the right direction would help.  For someone who hasn't have much experice in the IT field I'm a bit lost in what I should do for where I should start looking. 

Last night's lab didn't seem as difficult as the first one.  It was fairly easy to follow throughout the whole process.  I feel like I need more explaination about the useage of SAP XI in the real world.  It was just a quick walk through at this point but hopefully in the end I or other students will get more out of this and have a better understanding of the process and its importance. 

It's a start of a new week and things are already getting hectic.  Projects and more projects.  I'm sure everyone has this feeling here and there.  That's school for you.

Well, has anyone been keeping up with the current Microsoft issue?  If so, people inform "us".  I briefly read over it but didn't quite catch the whole issue. 

Have a nice day...

It looks like such a nice day outside yet it's still very cold.  What is there to do beside work or homework?  Well, if any of you guys or gals are interested in creating your own mini city and watch it grow, here's a link to it.

It's very similar to the Sims video game but without the activities.  Check it out and see how you like it.

This is offically my firts blog.  So far the class has been interesting and last week's in class assignment was something else.  It seems to be more difficult that it really is and there may be many hours put into this course.  We only experienced a small portion of it but at a larger scale we probably have to work much harder.
