I really am not getting the hang of this Blogging business! I spent a good couple of hours the other night trying to add pictures or something interesting to my blogg and I just couldn't work it out. My 2 lads at home spent the whole time laughing at me!
I think I should have been born about 100 years ago then I wouldn't have to know how to do all this.
Although, today in school, I was working with a child in year 5&6 and the children were using a programme called Zipster to make an animation out of clay and their own made setting. The programme takes 3-5 pictures in rapid sucession then the children have to reposition their chracters etc. and they take another set of images. After they feel they have taken enough picturs and their characters have compleated their story the children can play back the aminmation. The children were extreemly inventive and produced a huge varioty of animations that were enjoyed by the whole school. I learnt so much from the children I was quite impressed with myself.
I'm going to have another go at adding pictures and I hope I'll improve my ability and understanding over the next few weeks.

My first attempt at animation!
As you can see I'm a budding artist. This is supposed to be a 'Catch phrase', I'll be well impressed if you can work it out with my lovely drawings. Just pretend I'm only 5, it may help.

Back to Reality!
Well here we are all back in college.
Wonder what we're going to do this evening? Think it's something to do with photo's and stuff. Probably get just as confused as usual!
Spent the last few days trying to instal Textease onto my personal computer and it just won't have it! I'm really becoming convinced that it's out to get me, and after I stood by it through all it's illnesses. Just can't please some can you?
I have tried to instal some photo's on here but I just can't seem to work that out either. My boys just laugh at me rather than trying to help. Can anyone sugest a good book that'll help? I'm going to get something done on this daft thing if it kills me, and I think it might!
If I survive I will let you know.

Back to Reality!
Ok, here goes, life must return to some kind of normality after the Christmas holidays I guess.
Must admit I've not been able to get the hang of this but I've not had the chance as my computer is out to get me. It has just returned from open heart surgery. This time for allowing a Trojan horse to infiltrate it's guts. No sympathy here. I've given it all the protection a little lap top could ever ask for but no it won't listen.
It has now had 3 major operations in the last month and a half. The first was the most scary, and the most expensive. Red messages telling me someone was accessing my password and credit card details! It began preventing me from accessing any of my programmes telling me it was too dangerous and it began shutting down everything just because it felt like it! A real bad case of worms. Makes you want to gag at the thought. Those worms were able to crawl throughout my computer's insides, everywhere became infected, even the task manager didn't come out clean. The sweet little man in the computer shop tried to explain to me the manner of my infection, but I had no idea what he was talking about and chose to try to nod and smile in all the right places. (don't think I managed it because after 5 mins he began to speak to me very slowly and in words of single syllables!).
I think he tried to run away when he saw me approaching for the 2nd time. This wasn't so bad, only a week in intensive care and £67.50 later. Some strange virus apparently. Again he began to explain but realised very quickly he may as well give up this time and ask me how my Christmas went instead.
The third time I walked into his shop he very quickly picked up the phone and I'm sure he was pretending to talk to some-one while some young lad tried to understand what I was saying to him. Another £75, and a complete clean out and restore of relevant data, (minus worms, Trojan horses, virus and any other unwanted bug of any kind), also the loss of all my I.T. assignment notes and Microsoft programmes, I can now use my computer again. Do I want to is now my question?
I'm going to try and learn more about this little box of tricks and I'm determined to at least be able to use it more than my 65 year old mother!
See you all in college and I hope your time off was wonderful.
