UntitledbyCan you please email me Tony to when you would be available to meet with me. I am having trouble with the labs. Thanks Sheila from IP address 131.118.85.202 |
Just come by my office during office hours.by Tony... from IP address 69.175.33.21 |
FTP websites...by Dan PeaperThere are no FTP websites I can find related to business. I looked in over 300 results for google and they were all websites. Any suggestions? from IP address 67.23.155.69 |
Just report your findings. Don't waste your time after you have the basic idea.by TonyFTP sites, compared to Web sites, are not very useful in business. Anyway, the point of the lab is simply to learn about FTP. from IP address 69.175.33.21 |
Searching for ftp sitesby LauraI am confused on how we can search for ftp sites using google. from IP address 67.21.158.29 |
Experiment! The "art" of using Google, or any search engine, is figuring out how to...by Tonynarrow your search. Try "FTP" with whatever your major is, or "FTP servers" plus your major. Note that there are fewer and fewer FTP sites now (superceeded by Web sites) so don't worry if you don't find many. Just get the idea. from IP address 131.118.85.15 |
can't publish - website unavailablebyI have been trying to publish for the last two hours and keep getting a "server is unavailable" error. Is it something I am doing wrong - this is really frustrating....... I can publish to the netscape server where I placed the other pages from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
You are not publishing to "the netscape server"; you publish on goliath.by TonyYou have an account on goliath. All publishing questions should be sent to the golliath administrator, by clicking on the Contact Button. (I have nothing to do with the goliath server; it is maintained by the computer club.) I have not heard of an error "server is unavailable" error, but it could be that you Internet connection is down. Be sure to explain EXACTLY what your difficulties are. I don't see why you would have problems with publishing Netscape (your "client" not "server"); I have not had reports of other's difficulties. Anyway, it is not drastic if you can't publish using Netscape because you will learn to use an FTP client (Core FTP) in Lab 6. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
My computer has crashed and is being repairedbyMy computer died this week and I have taken it to be fixed. I am using a friend's computer to send this and check my mail. I am hoping to get my computer back next Monday or Tuesday. Mike from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
I don't know how to do reworks since I am off sitebyI am not sure how to do the reworks since I am off-site. You did send me an email with the assement #s I missed - but I don't have a copy of the exam so I don't know the questions. Is there anyway to make up some of the points. I really need this class to graduate in the spring. Mike from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
You should have kept your exam, like I instructed.by TonyAll I got was a fax of your exam. Where is your original? I guess I could fax a copy to you if you send me an e-mail with a fax address. However, you really need your original with YOUR ANSWERS so you can do the rework from it. Did you leave it with CCBC? I explained to you as well as Trish that you were supposed to keep a copy of the assessment from which to do the rework. Anyway, there are no late penalties on assessment reworks, so just do it as soon as possible. On all future assessments, be sure to keep your original. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
I don't have copy - please send me onebyI don't recall you telling me to keep a copy of the exam and the proctor did not tell me to take it with me. In fact, I handed it back with the answer sheet. I will check with the proctor but I don't think she saved the copy. Thanks - Mike from IP address 144.51.109.5 |
Fax number -byMy mom said that you can fax it to her at work; place it to her attn: Sue Seabolt Fax # - 410-854-6472 Thanks - Mike from IP address 144.51.109.5 |
Publishing websiteby Dan PeaperAfter I published my website, on the resume page the netscape picture icon at the bottom doesn't work. I tryed to re uplaod to FTP but for some reason it wont load the picture. It does work when I just open it in composer. Any suggestions? I think that everything else is good. from IP address 68.48.199.234 |
If you have graphics, you must upload the image file as well as the HTML file.by TonyThis will be easier in Lab 6 where you will learn to use an FTP client, Core FTP. The basic idea is simple. An HTML file contains only the text with its formatting; all associated graphics, music, video, etc. are in separate files which have to uploaded along with the HTML file that has tags that link to them. It is important that the relationships between your HTML document and multimedia files, on your Web server, be EXACTLY the same as your originals (on the computer where you created them). It is simplest to make sure everything works on your originals and then upload everything exactly as is. See me after break if you still have troubles. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Tony i need to talk to you before breakby Kitty Berkis there a time after 2 tomorrow i could talk to you before we leave for break? i need to talk to you about this class. I sent you an email about it, if you want to discuss this through e-mail send me a response back, and if you want me to come to your office hours when are they tomorrow? from IP address 131.118.85.26 |
I guess you can see me at 1:00 tomorrow; I don't have office hours, but I get out of classby Tonyat 1:00. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Couldn't publish filesby Nick DurstWhen publishing it said that i couldn't publish because my username and password weren't correct. I reviewed my name and password to log in and retryed to publish and the samr window message occured... any suggestions? from IP address 70.16.161.218 |
You have an account, so you must not be typing in your user or password incorrectly.by TonyYour user name is "ndurst0", but (of course) I don't know your password. Just type in EXACTLY what you were given when you signed up on Goliath. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Site Nameby SamIt will not let me publish it without a site name, what should I put as the site name? from IP address 131.118.85.26 |
I do not understand. What is "It" and what is "site name".by TonyYou must be specific and clear when posting on the forum. I assume you are talking about Lab 5. Also, I guess you mean Goliath as your site. If you have had a Goliath account set up, your name will appear on the list of students with Goliath accounts. (If it is not there, you are in TROUBLE! Everyone should have Goliath accounts by now; that was in the getting started section of the checklists - and I emphasized it in class.) If you are Samrawit, you have an account and a home page, so I don't see any trouble. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Publishing our websiteby LauraWhen I go to publish my webpage it keeps saying that the user could not be logged in. I don't know what else my user name could be though. from IP address 67.22.219.112 |
"IF" you have an account, either your user name or password are incorrect, or both.by TonyYou can check your user name by simply going to http://goliath.frostburg.edu/, clicking the "Students" tab (at the top). Then select "Search and Display All Students" from the drop down menu at the right. When you click the Submit button all student accounts will appear. If an account has been created for you, your name and URL (in green) will appear; your user name appears after the "/". If you don't see your name, you have no account. In any case, you have to contact the administrator to explain your problem. Do that by clicking on the "Contact" tab at the top. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
net meetingbyDr. Tracy, I tried to download the netmeeting, but the 3.01 that microsoft has can not be supported by windows xp. I guess I will try again during your office hours next time you're available. from IP address 141.157.154.118 |
I saw you on NetMeeting today. I tried chat, but you didn't respond....by TonyDid you open the chat window, i.e. click the button that looks like a "text baloon", like you see in comic strips? You have to open that in order to see my messages. If you didn't, try again tomorrow, during office hours. It's important to get NetMeeting working, so maybe another office visit would help. Incidently, NetMeeting is already built into Windows XP. This is discussed, in the Study Checklists, in item 4.1.1.1 under "2. Studying the Course" Anyway, did you get registered for the class? from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
registrationby sarah greenwoodYes, I just got registered for the class today. It was hard getting a chance to meet with all my teachers to get approvals, but I finally got registered today. -Sarah from IP address 131.118.85.202 |
ASSESSMENT 1by Dan PeaperAre you going to be posting the questions from assessment 1 or something. I picked up my scantron but we need the test questions to rework it. from IP address 67.23.155.69 |
WHOOPS! I forgot to put your original papers in the OUT box!! I'll do that now!by TonySorry! STUPID of me! I will put your question sheet in the OUT box; if you haven't picked up the scantron form, I'll staple the two together. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Lab 4byhttp://mywebpage.netscape.com/mjpuddlenut/instant/aboutme.html I have been having trouble sending my labs to you. So, I put my resume and favorite pics as links off of my webpage that was the first part of the lab. Hopefully, this way you can see that I did the entire lab. from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
It would be better to get ahead and create your Web site on the FSU student server, ...by TonyGoliath. You should have already gotten your account (as it says in the first of the checklists) on Goliath, so do Lab 5 which is about creating that Web site. I don't see why you would have "trouble sending" labs; just mail them! from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
when I try to mail the attachment does not openby mike seaboltWhen I try to send you the html files the attachments never open - also you have only received 1 of the 3 that I mailed and this one I had to resend several times. I will do lab 5 on Goliath from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
I said "mail" them, NOT "e-mail" them.by TonyI really don't understand when you say the "attachment doesn't open". That doesn't make any sense. When you "send" an e-mail, attachments don't "open". They only "open" on the receiver end. In any case, sending attachments is very straightforward, but it depends on the e-mail client you are using. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Lab 4by Dan PeaperAre we suppose to fill in all of are resume info, or just change the navigator gold things and save it. from IP address 67.23.155.69 |
Use the template to create a resume for YOU.by TonyYou fill in the resume template with information about you. Also replace the icon as it says in item B.2. and add the text as specified. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Untitledby Dan PeaperCan we just make our website in publisher? from IP address 67.23.155.69 |
Yes, you can develop your Web site with any HTML authoring tool, but...by Tony(1) I won't be able to help you much, with the details, of a tool with which I am inexperienced (such as Publisher) and (2) you should be able to answer "basic" questions about Composer, like those on preassessments and proficiency evaluations. from IP address 131.118.85.15 |
Lab threeby James Hamujust a question, when it says create a copy of the simple HTML document A SIMPLE HTML DOCUMENT EXAMPLE, is the lab itself the simple example or does it link to somewhere. plus i have had troubles reading the scheduale and think everything is due a week later than what it really is. from IP address 131.118.85.25 |
It says create a copy of the document the link accesses! Click on the link and reporduceby Tonythe A SIMPLE HTML DOCUMENT EXAMPLE, with the exceptions noted in the instructions. What could be more explicit? The schedule is very simple; the middle column says when you begin "doing" the lab; the right column says, very explicitly, when the lab is due. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Assessment 1by Derek RapsonDo we need to make an appointment to take the test or do we just show up in your office from 11:00-1:00 on Friday? Is the test going to be all multiple choice? from IP address 207.255.199.93 |
No Appointment needed. Just find me. I'm in class between 12-1:00 in Lowndes 206.by TonyHaven't you read the Checklists, section 5?! It explains EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT!! from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
I am confused on the labsbyI am all confused..I think I turned in lab 3 already. Do you have labs 1, 2 and 3 from me? I looked at the lab I was working on and it is lab 1. I have not received anything back Thanks - Mike from IP address 69.251.118.43 |
FOLDOC website doesn't workby Dan PeaperFOLDOC link under webresources does not work, I have tried it for 3 days in a row. That is why I used the mirror site, it looks the same as the lab. I already turned in my lab to you if this is not right let me know ASAP and I will come by and fix it. But I don't know how because the link doesn't work! from IP address 67.23.155.69 |
WOW! You are correct. As always, "adapt and overcome"; you followed the instructions...by Tonyso just say what happened. Finding a mirror site for FOLDOC (via Google or some other means) is even better. Something must be wrong with the server at Imperial College. You can still answer the question, by looking at the URL ("wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk") even though you can't access the site. However, if you report the location of a mirror site the answer will be different; I will not know that unless you give the URL. Since Imperial College and it's FOLDOC are such major players, I'd expect it to be back up soon. I'm amazed it has been down as long as you say. from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
Try this FOLDOC websiteby Dan Peaperfrom IP address 67.23.155.69 |
No, this is a FOLDOC mirror site; use the link on the Navigation Panel.by Tony... from IP address 67.21.159.120 |
