First day of study.
Monday, February 26, 2007
Today was my first day for NET11, which I'm studying online through Curtin University of Technology.
Unfortunately studies today got off to a rather bad start, because after waking at 6am (nice and early to get a good start on the study period!) my wireless router and broadband connection decided today was a great day to go offline. I managed to log on to WebCT throughout the morning, only to have the connection fail again. Finally after lunch my Internet connection became stable.
In the meantime, I did manage to write up a mini-schedule for my studies. I find it great to have what I need to do all written out in front of me. I'll do up a weekly plan to keep my studies on track. One of the first things I will do is familiarise myself with Curtin's policies and guidelines.
I also did the online orientation, introduced myself on the discussion board with name, age etc. I don't usually divulge such information as my full name or age online, but since the board is only accessed by our tutors and fellow students I didn't really mind giving out that information.
I'm really impressed with the online library system at Curtin, it was really easy to use and I've already borrowed my first book.
NET11 seems like it will be lots of fun to study, I couldn't wait to start my learning log, and I would love to code or find a template that is nicer than the default (and overly popular) blogger standard templates. Hopefully I'll find time to make one.

Hi Mary,
There is a problem with your feeds-one slash too much.
I tried to subscribe and got an error message but I manually removed the extra forward slash and all is good.
Cheers,
