Today in class we had done more notes on networking and trouble shooting a network. I got the best mark in the IC3 quiz in the class which was bad considering i only got 64%. I re-read the info as soon as i got home.
We were assigned to compare the advantages and disadvantages of 3 online chat programs I chose Skype, Steam, and Google Hangout.
After we split into 2 groups and worked on setting up a LAN for Risk 2. before we could finish we had someone come in and speak with us about Abbitsford and Mission eventually becoming technology huge cities.

Today in IT we learned about more networking with IC3 and with A+, we did more stuff with routers and hub/switches. We are tasked with embeding 2 videos explaining Client/Server Networks and Peer 2 Peer Networks. The video's are bellow
Understanding Client Server Architecture is a animated pressentation explaining Clint/Server Networks. I like this video because it is easy to understand and i like the visuals.
I believe static IP is important because it helps with maintaining servers so your IP never changes, it also helps with websites and domain names. You can buy a static IP HERE. Dynamic IP is when it is always changing over time. The advantage of it is so that you can be harder to be tracked unlike Static where you do not change, it really just matters what you are using it for.

today we learned about BIOS vs CMOS and flashing BIOS.
How to Flash BIOS:
1: Find the BIOS file for the motherboard that you are using, It is usually found on the drivers page for your system under the BIOS section.
2: Depending on your motherboard you can put the bios file onto a USB flash drive and run the BIOS flasher tool within the UEFI BIOS.
3: Otherwise, in the zip file that you downloaded with your BIOS, it has a .exe file that updates the BIOS with just running it.

Today in class we learned the rest of access from the IC3 book which fortunately i think i am understanding a lot better than i was at the beggining of the course. i managed to get a 20/22 on the IC3 quiz for access which solidified my confidence in it. It is good to have a database instead of a spreadsheet with contact info and inventory is because it is easy to make changes. One way to retreive the data for to run a report is you go to access and click create and click Report.
Today we also did notes on maintenence and regular stuff you should do with your computer to keep it optimized. we fiddled with the computer locating how to get to the mainenence options in the command promt. We also install random cards that were handed to us, me being handed a SCSI card and a sound card.

Today in class we did a lot of work with bootable OS with USB, we all booted XP onto our designated desktops. Unfortunately, i had really bad luck with the Hardrive not working, cables on in right, and USB troubles so it took me a very long time to get it done. We also did lesson 5 in IC3 which talked about What kind of software people should use for certain circumstances.
If people need help finding drivers for their computer look HERE. This site here really helped me quickly find the drivers i had to use, although unfortunately i did not have time to install them. Thats what tomorrow is for!
