Wednesday, April 8: a TODO list for CET

Greetings, one and all!



If you are reading this, it means that you have completed your latest quiz on Operating Systems. There are several things I would like to see us get done today:



A) I have set up a shared folder for you on my account at Box.net. You will have also received an email in your Gmail account inviting you to "collaborate" in this shared folder, meaning you will be able to upload and download files from it. What I need you to do right now is to follow the instructions on the invite I sent you, and then to prove that you can access this folder, please upload a small file with your name in the file name.



I will provide assistance as needed for this step



B) Once you know how to upload stuff, the next step is to find something to upload. This will no doubt vary from person to person, depending upon what you have been working on. For example, some of you have been working with a program called MASH; the website where you can download additional characters here:

http://www.bellcraft.com/mash/chars.aspx

and here

http://www.msagentring.org/chars.aspx

and here

http://www.planetoftheheads.com/potheads/default.asp 50 more

and here:

http://www.ponx.org/msagent/Acs/ hundreds!

and

http://dogagent.com/nindex.html "Grandpa Jim" is out of his mind! but he has tons of great agents





Please not that you need to download these characters first before uploading them to our account at Box.net!



Others of you have been working with Sketchup, which is a Google product. Not only does Sketchup give you a free way of doing 3D modeling, there is also a warehouse of different models that people have completed which can be downloaded here:

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/



Additionally, there some videos online which demonstrate how to do some really neat stuff in Sketchup, and they can be downloaded and played inside of your Sketchup program -- at least, that's the theory! You can peruse them by clicking HERE

There's also some very useful forums located here:

http://groups.google.com/group/SketchUp



Some of you have been continuing to work with DyneBolic Linux. There are some great modules which you can download and add to your Dyne folder on your hard drive, they are found here:

http://dynebolic.org/index.php?show=modules

as well as user manuals, reviews, "HOWTOs" and some entries on both WikiPedia and other wiki type sources



ANYTHING you will need for when we get back downstairs, GO AND GET IT! and make sure to upload it tour folder at Box.net



C) As you upload stuff, I will download it again, prior to burning it all onto some CDs. When we go back downstairs -- and yes, I am hoping we have time for that-- I will be able to load all the stuff you found onto the shared folder on our server, at which point you can get anything you need



While I am burning those discs, you will need to make a discussion post on our Google group. Label it with your name, plus the phrase "what I found, what I plan on doing with it"

In the message body, please write a three complete sentence description telling me what you grabbed and what you're going to do with it.



Cheers,

Mr. L
