Visible to anyone in the world

today i have started block 4 part 1 and i have gotten to section 2.4 

i feel i will enjoy this part of the course as its more hands and and being a little creative all be it from what we have been given to use but non the less still creative.

tomorrow i am back in work for my first 12hr nifght shift but on the upside of this its  only 4 shifts so i plan on doing a little more when i wake up tomorrow and on the days i get up before going to my shift.

today i have completed all of block 3 part 5. 

The section was intersting as it gave insight how one could earn money from open source projects, it also gave insight over copyright and trademarking softwares and genrally different things like CD's.

hopefully tomorrow i will start on block 4.1. it has been my aim to catch the rest of the course up quickly without missing any sections or questions which i have managed to do so.

I will post some more when i next study or if i start TMA05

today i have completed block 3 part 2 2.4 to 7.4 found it interesting as it gave me figures about my energy consumption and also went into cloud computing which is something i will consider if and when i decide to build my own website which im sure i will.

next now i will start icma54 as im a little behind with these.

this evening i hope to carry on with the next block and get a large portion of it done. i will post again later when i have done some more.

Today i have been working on TMA04 i've got to question 3 which is the sense activity that i need to complete but as ive not actually learnt anything to do with this type of program ive decided to go back to my normal study work and carry on with block 2 part 5 

Ive completed activities 8-17 which i feel is ok for today and, im hoping that this evening i will get more of a chance to plough on through it and learn more about the upcoming sense in TMA04

Visible to anyone in the world

so this evening i have carried on with TMA03 as i was granted an extension due to the fact im not confident with sense. ive managed to complete all of the question 2 except getting the sense program to ask me weather i want one shape or the other shape or both. youtube seems to be no help as scratch is widely used compared to sense, so i will keep searching for information on the internet and in my sense guide.

i no its probably simple but with the kids being around me alot and 12 hour shifts ive struggled a little but now things are going to be back on track

so today i have started TMA03 ive completed question 1 and ive tried to start question 2 but i am totally stuck. 

Im not the best with sense programing and would totally benefit from some sense programing training. so ill have to see what i can find on the matter. 

any suggestions welcome

today i have studied quite alot to get to point where the rest of the students should be.

i have completed block 2 parts 3 and 4 and i have started part 5 and got up to 1.3 of part 5. i decided to stop at activity 7. tomorrow i hope to either push on or start TMA03, which is my next concern as i have taken a look at what TMA03 entails and im quite worried i will do rubbish at this TMA as im not to good with programing (ironically programing is the area i want to go into) and i know that one question i have to construct a program in.

ill post some more when i next log on tomorrow

so its been a while and id like to say hope every one had a great christmas and a happy new year. i haven't been on for a while and i haven't been doing any work but im not working like mad to catch up and tonight i have done quite a bit. I have completed activities 9-34 of block 2 parts 1 all the way to 5 tomorrow i will finish 6 and then start the next chapter on the course.

I also have to complete the next ICMA and TMA so i will most likely make a start on those first as id like to be ahead with them.

so today i completed activities 1-8 of block 2 part 2 i have not ad chance to do a lot with xmas shopping and working 12 hour shifts, But im off now for 4 days so i'm planning on studying every day.

Had my results back for my TMA02 82% completely answered a maths question incorrect seems maths is one of my weak points although i was confident with maths until i started TU100 and think i need to try and get some kind of help or some way of learning some extra maths to aid me.

Will try to post tomorrow when i get back and i've done some course work.

so its been three days since my last post and, since then i have completed activitys 11-24 of block 1 part 3.

Found it quite interesting to do with html and adding images as coding is the route id like to go down in next years studies. as id like to become a software programer and id also like to build my own websites as a side project with the hope of getting a small income from it.

I was worried i was behind the other students by a considerable amount today but after checking where i am and where i should be im half a section behind as i have already completed block 4 and submitted my TMA01.

I will update my blog in a couple of days when i have completed some more work for you guys
