Deadlines to Meet

Have anyone been getting a strange security message when trying to access Pitt's library with VPN? Since this blog might not be the appropriate place to write the message, I put in the technical questions section of the discussion board. In the meantime, I have been trying over and over again to gain access to no avail. Time is running out and I have a discussion question to answer for course 2000.

In addition to this problem, I have been waiting for a password and/or log in from since last week to establish an account with kohawc. To date I cannot seem to find the information needed to set up the account. Oh, and I dear not forget that this week I must also wait for a userID and password to set up an account on EndNote Web.

Perhaps someone could help me or tell me where on blackboard to look. I have searched my gmail and pittmail and still have not found a single thing.

I truly become disgruntled when I am not meeting deadlines, so please pardon me.

DELL's Diagnosis

Earlier this month DELL and I met a new acquaintance "Information Technologies". Our reliable and trusted new friend introduced us to many of his associates (tools and software). We were asked to invite them into our home and so we did. Since then DELL has not been responding to my commands like he used.

Anyway Saturday we did our usual work together. As we were about to sign out for the afternoon, we became startled by an unexpected salesman (Mozilla) saying that I was selected for getting a FREE laptop. Immediately my guard went up as I wondered if this salesman had perhaps gain access through a back door. I declined the offer seeing that it was too good to be true.

Yesterday DELL and I ensued yet another afternoon of work and without warning we were knocked off the World Wide Web. In shock, I decided to run to the Spyware Doctor which was downloaded from Google. To our amazement the good doctor diagnosed DELL with 95 viruses two of which are extremely bad. Baffled, I said to DELL how could this have happened if you have been inoculated with Norton and McAfee anti virus. Not knowing what to do, I left the doctor's office.

Now we're in a quandary because as his guardian am not sure what to do. I thought I had done what was necessary to protect DELL.

Help!

Weekend Blues

The weekend is here, a long one at that and it seems as though I'm going have to try very hard to catch my breath. Most of my time will be spent trying to get a head start for the upcoming week. This past week was very stressful and I felt as though I didn't quite make the mark because I'm still trying to iron out a few things, get comfortable with the demand of the courses and manage everything else.

But hey, I have faith that everything will work out and all will be well.

Discovering Computers

Hey, I am really appreciating "Discovering Computers 2008". It is truly a great reference book. I am finally learning about the various components that I wasn't aware of before. With this kind of information I'm certain that I'll be able to find exactly what I want in the next system I purchase.

Reading Assignments

Just when I thought I got the hang of it, today I came across the OCLC Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources, which turns out to be another book. So now I'm confused as to whether or not I am to purchase this reading material for this week.

Perhaps I'm not clear on the require text for this class. My understanding is that "Discovering Computers 2008" is the only required book for this course. Am I suppose to purchase the one mentioned for this week and if not how do I get the reading material?

Novice

Hello All,

I am a novice at blogging but I'll become very good at it in a short time.

By the way, is there anyone out there that is surviving Khun's jargon?
