15th March

Things we did in class:

• We recovered how to do ilinks
• I created a page overview of the client website
• I analysed the questionaire that my client filled out.
• I did chapter 7 of the Dreamweaver book
• I updated this blog on blogger

And yeah, it might not seem like a lot of work, but that is about a full nights work... Ive just put it in a few very simple no detail like lists becasue i am not feeling well enough (or awake enough) to fill out.

client contact

Finally my client made contact with me. I was considering that I would need to ring her. Understandably she had been sick and unable to reply sooner...
She replied to my questionaire that i had sent her about two weeks ago. All her replies were pretty basic, but a great help compared to what i was working with a few days ago. The only few points that I will need to gain a better understanding on what she is wanting is:

1. Hosting (payments and whom it is with)
2. Domain name (previously suggested as ailsainness.com however as this is taken maybe ailsa_inness.com)
3. Is a database required....?????
4. Site maintanence (by me or ailsa or other)
5. The text and audio files (what pages she wants it on, etc.)
6. Budget...????

update

Tonight at TAFE we worked on creating pop-up menus in Fireworks. The first new thing that I have covered so far... It was really easy, and when we had to create our own from what we learnt I was done in about 5 minutes compared to everyone else which was about 10 - 30 minutes... cant remember how long they took, but it was long...
I regret to announce that I havent started my marketing research yet. I have the template for the marketing site up, but other than that it looks pretty blank. I have been working too hard on school stuff, so I might need to fill in on some weekends that im busy...
After that we worked on div's and table div's, which are completely new to me. It involves a little bit of CSS style scripting, so much fun... Basically, what we achieved was that when a button is clicked on the home page the new page that it would normally go to would end up appearing within a space in the orginal page....!!!!

assignments

Stressful!!!
Imagine going to school from 8 in the morning to about 3 in the afternoon, ending up with a total of 9 hours already up.
Then you bring home work... Get it? Home work...!
You hear all these workers complaining how they work from 9 to 3 and get like 1 or 2 hours of work that they have to bring home with them! I say: GET OVER IT!
School children, especially in their senior years, have to bring home any where from one to 4 hours of homework EACH NIGHT!!!!
Then you get the assessments, exams and assignments on top of that.
Like at the moment I have a major assignment for IT at school... It requires very complex detailing of contact with a client, how we got our ideas, a diary, a timeline, etc, etc, etc... Then the TAFE assessment... Geez, it all just builds up...
So much to do and so little time to do it all...
