Gaby’s presentation was on reinforn treat wood that can replace stell and concrete for bulding purposes. My presentation was on the declining sales of Smart watches and tsome of the reason why.

We install a virtual phone on are computer name MircoSip

I continue to learn the basic for design a web site usin apache and command prompts

This week was a wonderful learning experience.

In the beginning, we practiced typing, then we did a project on creating a flyer for the new item promotion for BerkMart, which is similar to what we did with the accountability project. I thought that it was a fun project adding the wordart, pictures, and coloring in the background. Next, we went over knowing how to schedule a send for an email, since we were told it’s good to do it on the due date. Finally, I watched a Percipio course on Google Sheets.   

Worked on HTML Lab

Command Prompt kept not working while trying to switch user (su) because WireGuard kept not being active.

had issue persist. Did little HTML in Nano, but didn’t have any success in using written code due to no access. Will continue to do more work on my website.

Eager to get this to work

Reached a new goal in typing on monkey type. Worked on a flyer for a new item at BerkMart. Learned how to do color gradients on Word Art in Google Docs. One of my classmates showed the class how to schedule an email. Percipio is due on Tuesday now and I don’t have to worry about it over the weekend. Found out there is no class on Monday.

Today I set up MicroSIP and worked on as much as I could on my HTML website. It was a slow day but still good as we presented our articles. Next time I hope to make time to find another article before Monday that has more content in it than a couple paragraphs.

Today I researched jobs to post for my peers on CTP. I noticed since coming back to the program that there seems to be less roles showing up in search. I suspect this has to do with companies outsourcing jobs to other countries, and the implementation of AI. I spent the rest of my day searching for resources for the Housing spreadsheet.

Today I started off with the job listings. Then I was working on the food bank listings. For the food bank list, I am working on Southern California counties. I am using some search tools to help me find some food bank locations and I was able to find a few locations that were still available. The search tools are very helpful, but the difficult part is to finding the mission statement of the site. I do have to search a little bit but I am usually able to find it. I will continue to search more locations for the food bank in the Southern California counties.
