Alright, it’s time that I broadcast to everyone what’s been going on. It’s been a while since the last entry when I was jumping up and down because I installed Windows Vista on my laptop. Well I still am, mainly I am getting positive results, no system crashes, or anything out of the ordinary. However there are a just a few issues I am having but nothing that will cause me to downgrade back to XP.
First the battery just drains my system. Truthfully I am not really sure about it because mainly I am just concentrated on my work and time just flies! However I do recharge my laptop quite frequently.
The very first Monday when I went back to school after installing Vista, Kennesaw State University wireless didn’t work (I wouldn’t say that entirely. Mainly it’s a security issue). Let me explain. KSU implemented a more secure wireless in the spring semester of 2007. In order use their wireless you must use your wireless wizard (duh, for any wireless access point), enter the login and password that is supplied by the University, then you’ll fire up your browser, and accept the certificate of authorization Then a screen will come on asking for your KSU NetID and password plus guests are able to use the wireless by entering their email address. For some funny reason, it’s not accepting my netid or password since my other campus resources works fine. Temporally I am using the guest wireless until help desk helps me with my issue.
Finally the last issue I would like to inform you. I downloaded trial software of Adobe Flash CS3 and somehow I am not having a trial. They are asking me to enter a valid serial number in order to use it. I think I have heard that they are not letting anyone use their software if it has been activated on Windows Vista.
Students, faculty and Staff please visit http://www.campustech.com for your software needs. Sample product
Retail Price for Adobe Flash CS3: $690
Campus Tech Price: $239
Now here is a little trick. If you were going to buy Flash for $690 at some online store, you aren’t going to get your money’s worth at all. Plus you’ll going to pay more if you are going to get Creative Suite. So let me ask you this. How would you say if you can get Creative Suite 3 Web Premium just for $489.85? Do a little research and see what it comes with the package. It’s mind blowing!
Okay, now let me inform you about my classes. My classes are going very well, it’s been five weeks already so if you want time to fly by, keep yourself busy. I am learning a lot in my CSIS 4305. A little recap about the class, it’s about learning the backend of the server with ASP.net. Currently we are going over SQL server and it’s totally different from MySQL and PHP. There is minimum programming because Visual Studios 2005 does the coding for you. I’ll still use the famous open source software for flash but I know you can embed ASP.Net with flash. By the time I’m done learning this stuff I’ll be selling appt forms, online stores, and etc.
You can keep track of my assignments online at http://tallulah.kennesaw.edu/grodrig3 Try to use Firefox because when I view on Internet Explorer 7, the buttons expands and I don’t know why. Try using Internet explorer 6.
Well I’ve addressed all of the issues that I have with Windows Vista but I am defiantly going to keep using it for a long time. Apparently this is the new operating system on the market and it’s taking over XP. Ciao
