First day back at college

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: September 8th, 2009 | 0 Comments

Today i started back at college and so far it is very easy. Currently i do not have my timetable as there was a problem in college this morning which made it impossible for us to get our timetables.

So far i have attended 2 of my modules, Database Management Systems & Systems Administration 1, the first of the two is broken down into 50% CA (continuous Assessment) and then 50% final exam at the end of semester, then in Systems Administration 1 it is just a full 100% CA which is great, the less final exams i have the better :D .

I found out that one of my classes is 4 hours long in one sitting! It is mainly practical work that will be done in it so hopefully the time will not drag too much!

So although today was a waste of a day in college, it looks like it will shape up to be an interesting year in college, after this year i will come out with a Bachelor of Science in Computing in Applications & Support.

Error on my blog last night

Last night i was just about to start to write a blog post and then when i went to my site to write it, i could not access my site! For some reason there was an error on my site, it displayed a white page saying: HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error, after looking about the internet for what this exact error is, it turns out that it is nothing to do with client-side so therefore it was out of my control on how to fix it. In order to find out what exactly caused my site to crash last night i would have to contact my hosting account holders (Dreamhost) and would have to ask them to inspect the log, however i reckon it would take too long to get them to do this so, for now i will leave it, however it it does happen again i will most certainly be get in touch with them. The funny thing is that this blog is on a server with a few of my other sites and only this one went down, my Newmovies.ie site was still working and so was SeanLucas.com and a few others, i wonder why just this site failed? If you want to know more about the error 500, go to this site, it is where i read about the internal server error 500 ;) .

Dreamweaver – getting to grips

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: September 3rd, 2009 | 1 Comments

Currently i have a fair bit of website work lined up. I really like getting work like this; it gives me a chance to get to grips with what i have learned from college or what i have learned by myself.

There is no point going to college and not trying to continue to progress your knowledge while you are off on holidays. Now that i will be starting back at college next week, i will have website code fresh in my head, so i will be able to get to grips with anything new that we learn this year.

The work i have been doing throughout the summer and still now requires me to use the likes of Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I never really used these programs too much until only recently and i really do like them.

I find that the more i use them, i seem to find more and more things that can be done with them that makes life easier when editing a website, especially if you have to make a huge gallery for a site, the template feature works great there :D .
