A lady asks various people if it makes them happy, all from answers of No because when techonology isn't working (i.e., when the internet isn't connecting, or a cell phone battery dies) they are very displeased, and other answers Yes (i.e., because it helps them get stuff done like homework, and helps them enjoy things they love like writing and photography). So does technology make all of you happy? If it didn't... what are you doing as a CIS major?!?! lol Just kidding. But ya, I'm a geek, technology makes me happy.. I get excited over new gadgets. Don't lie, I know you all do too...]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/does_technology_make_you_happy.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/does_technology_make_you_happy.shtml technology Sat, 21 Apr 2007 23:01:15 -0500 So I've been using my boyfriends laptop for the semester (mainly for my independent study because it has visual studio on it) and somehow using the wireless internet everywhere I go, has become a problem, seeing as how I ran a spyware check on it and it found 87 traces. I literally cannot use the internet without 15 popups every couple of minutes. So with a Spyware remover (Webroot) that I have, it removed 87 traces. The problem is, there is STILL spyware! My question is.. whats the best way to get rid of it? In the past I've removed it from the regedit, but I can't seem to find it in there. Anyone have any home remedies they can offer? http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/spyware.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/spyware.shtml spyware Sat, 21 Apr 2007 22:52:21 -0500 final mini project. I thought I used DOM, but apparently I didn't...? I guess taking the inner html out cancelled out all my DOM methods. I don't know how fixable it is, though. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. ]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/favorite_part_of_the_class.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/favorite_part_of_the_class.shtml favorite is449 is696 miniproject Sat, 21 Apr 2007 22:43:05 -0500 Kae's blog he talked about Paired programming, something gone over in the Menlo presentation, and he was talking about how we experienced pair programming (I wasnt the one that got annoyed with Kae, by the way, lol, it was another group member) and actually, in my opinion, its such a good idea. Because as Dave was typing the SQL code in and we were getting errors, me, as one of the on-lookers, was able to catch a couple errors. If you have that second pair of eyes, or even third pair, programming is more understandable.. and come on, if you have that many eyes lookin at some code, you're bound to find the error, lol. ]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/pair_programming_addition_to_kaes_blog.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/pair_programming_addition_to_kaes_blog.shtml pair programming Sat, 21 Apr 2007 22:39:03 -0500 Thomas's blog... First off, LOL! When I first saw the Title of the post my mouth dropped, I'm like "Oh no he did NOT!" then I saw the post and I was like, "Oh... Okay" Its actually a compliment! lol.. Code Beauty, huh? I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Don't we all hate our code to be unogranized and sloppy? Make it nice! Make it flow! Make it Neat! It's much easier to find mistakes. Just an opinion. :) ]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/code_like_a_girl_response_to_thomas.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/code_like_a_girl_response_to_thomas.shtml coding programming Sat, 21 Apr 2007 17:25:24 -0500 Praneeth's Blog, I know exactly what you mean! I was just with a friend yesterday helping him pick out a computer and he wanted this fancy smanshy computer with a huge harddrive and all these fancy gizmos on it (the live tv, etc.) and I'm like.. seriously. What do you need that for? You have everything you need online, you arent going to be buying a bunch of games that use up a lot of hard drive space, etc. Especially for the common user.. So I dunno, I guess in a way desktop applications (outlook, photoshop, word, etc.) is being outrun by so many online services. Is that good? Who knows.. saves me some space though. :)]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/will_desktop_applications_stay_response_to_praneeth.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/will_desktop_applications_stay_response_to_praneeth.shtml desktop applications Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:19:47 -0500 Kae's blog) he added a Discussion Group, I don't think its up and running yet, but at least it will give the user a reason for going there, as opposed to just a YAHOO group posting site, because thats a little informal and strays from our actual website. So a little input from people.. Do you think a discussion group draws attention to a website and brings users back? I personally think so, but I just wanted to get some feedback. Aside from technical stuff and MORE fancy gadgets on our page, we're trying to make it geared more towards the user. Does anyone else have any ideas?

When asked "Why would you like to be a part of this company?" I replied: "I want to grow with the company, help expand, and make a difference with your company". or something along the lines of that, make sure you research the company (which I did, I was just a little too nervous to remember anything, lol), and give a little fact about their company with some of your responses.

You guys did such a great job, I like that you gave direction on what to do, and also the choices of trying it yourself, using a demo, etc. Everything is fast and works great!

Weaknesses: Perhaps adding a scrollbar, and letting more favorite places come up after a search is conducted. Also, how is the user added into the system? I can't remember if you guys went over that. Because there could be multiple Kim's wanting to add their favorite places, are you guys going to add a signup or anything like that?]]> http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/iteration_2_review_my_favorite_places.shtml http://learningremix.net/w2007integ/kmorris5/2007/04/iteration_2_review_my_favorite_places.shtml iteration2review myfavoriteplaces Tue, 03 Apr 2007 18:03:58 -0500 http://people.emich.edu/mpinter/is449/project/iteration2/project.html Strengths: I really like the idea of searching and it showing me exactly where it is on the map.
