To view my portfolio: http://folio.uqcloud.net/[studentnumber/] (not suggested, this is only here for personal reference aha)
Today we:
- were taught how to link our portfolios to the zone thing so that it could work
- worked on our portfolios, or rather started our portfolios for 99% of us
- discussed very briefly the prototyping that would take place tomorrow
- worked on our own projects
This is the address that we have to connect to, to access our html/css/php files that would make up our portfolios.
Again, like most classes i met China before she left her class as i came to my workshop. She stayed for about 30mins before leaving, and in this time we briefly discussed our project and what we would be doing tomorrow for the digital prototyping. Because China had her Software Engineering Project due tomorrow, this was more prioritised during the class. Nonetheless, DECO1800 was still our main focus.
As i am continuing this post the next day, i feel like i should mention that last night i successfully connected my laptop to UQ's VPN and i dont know why i feel so happy but yea. I remember in the workshop someone asked Khoa if they could work on their portfolios at home and he said no unless we were connected to UQ's virtual private network. Most likely due to complication or just not bothered-ness, Khoa didnt tell us how to do this and told us to just work on it at UQ and not at home. If you've read all of my essay lengthed previous posts, you should know by now that i work far more at night/do things on the last night/early mornings before a task is due. Soo for my own good i knew i needed to work on this at home and needed to connect to UQ's VPN.
After connecting to it, i was about to continue on my portfolio but then realised that the digital prototyping was tomorrow, and that China and Soobin were busy doing their CSSE. So i decided to work on the maps for the game, and tried to merge China's progress bar work into our current game (in one question).
I managed to add the progress bar into the game however the actual bar does not show, only the timer does, and the next question's article doesnt show properly. I dont know i felt pretty successful for some reason.
The map work required me to track down my workshop post from some many many weeks ago because i had forgot the steps. Even though my post proved to be pretty useless, i saw faintly in the photo that i uploaded for that post what i should be doing. At the time, i had the maps up however it wouldnt stay because i didnt have my API key in the code. I found my code and added it in before it started to work. For some strange reason (aka procrastination), i took forever perfectionising the central point in the map to be of Brisbane by changing the longitude and latitude numbers. This proves completely unnecessary because its supposed to show where the particular animal lives, not where we live.
In the previous blog post that i was referring to, i read that Khoa tried to teach us how to add markers to the maps but didnt finish. I then tried to search up how to do this on the web but unfortunately got very distracted and started downloading a script thing that could remove some adware virus thing on my mac that i had accidentally received month ago. The good thing is that the ads are finally removed from my mac and now i can use the internet in peace without 280813 ads in my face every second. The bad news is that after this i couldnt be bothered doing any more DECO1800 things and closed the 'how to add markers onto google maps api' tab that was opened but still untouched. I guess tasks that you dont like doing are suddenly so much more enjoyable to do when you have another even more boring task to do. Such as ridding ads from my mac vs doing uni work.
Looking back to the start of this post that i started yesterday, i think i was pretty lazy to have stated things in dot points in comparison to now where im writing every useless thing out in sentences, such as this. Oh procrastination.
