Arlon's CSUMB Intro to Operating Systems CST-334 Module 7 Learning Journal #7/#31 for the week Wed 08/04-Tues 08/10, year 2021

Journal spec: What to Write in your Journal Entry Write a 1 - 2 paragraph description of what you learned this seventh week in CST 334 Topic: persistence.

On the topic of persistence, learning a little bit about inodes and superblocks explained a few things for me. I have a pretty good grasp of how disks work and I think talking about file system implementations is a good idea. There are lots of different kinds and I'd like to know the differences between several of them. I know some have special features. Knoppix uses ReiserFS for the data partition and I'm not sure why but I think I remember reading somewhere it has something to do with good reliability.

Other than that, this week we learned video editing, narration, voice control, and that I was wrong about being right about last weeks's lab, I don't know what was wrong with it but I will find out if I can. The minor problems the lab prior had were fixed by moving the join line into the same loop with the thread creates. This apparently kept it from running out of memory which apparently caused all zeros as output.

Other than that I did some screen sharing using Discord, some pretty good chat software our group uses, and some screen recording with Zoom - my current favorite for screen recording, including my voice and/or screen and/or face.

I used a fresh Mint for using OpenShot video editor and Discord together on the same 64 bit OS and also on my good computer with lots of RAM for the video editing.

I am extremely looking forward to a) figuring out what I did wrong on last week's threads with semaphores in C lab and also b) excited for the next class which is TCP/IP because I want to learn how to do two things: port forward my router and know what to do with my other routers when I port forward to ssh to an ssh server for a VPN into my office - and web hosting (hosting - I know site building, system admin - and I know hosting - but I don't know the port forwarding that gets the hosting at my house. I know how to do port forwarding but I don't know the implications of multiple levels of routers. I read somewhere you just put the rest of them into DMZ. That sounds bad. That's where I'm at with all that.)

 2021-01-19 Summary of Thomas Friedman's - New Rules - In a word, working hard is no longer good enough, we have to go above and beyond working hard, relating this philosophy to meanings extracted from ex-presidential quotes. Summary of Trends in Computing 2021 (21 predictions for 2021) - This article grazes the surface of supposed (debate-ably) cutting edge technologies offering educated opinion regarding what is at the forefront and what will fall behind. Cloud computing, AI, blockchain among other debate-ably forefront technologies are mentioned and predicted about. Summary of the Introduction to Project Management video - This video explains how programming gets done in a medium to large size corporation with emphasis on the project management role. There are lots of programmers and programming that falls outside of this model (Linus Torvalds did not have a project manager telling him how to create Linux, and you could name lots of others, myself as well, Klaus Knopper is anoth...

 Arlon's CSUMB ProSeminar CST300 Module 4 Learning Journal for the week Wed 1/27-Tues 2/2, year 2021 My educational goals are specific but also broad reaching. I am an expert programmer and would like to gain system and network administration knowledge and maybe robotics building knowledge too, and definitely more mathematics knowledge.  I started off in life, as a kid, with interest in puzzles, programming, math, science, mechanical and aesthetic design and architecture, going the direction of a mechanically inclined chemist, and wound up finding more math and interesting problems in physics, so began my higher educational path specifically toward physics and math knowledge, with programming as a very consistent hobby throughout. As more of a pure scientist, degrees, titles, certifications and the like were never my goal, but I think my projection of my persona to the world was viewed in high contrast. On one hand I had math and science teachers telling me I was one of the sm...

Arlon's CSUMB ProSeminar CST300 Module 8 Learning Journal for the week Wed 02/24-Saturday 02/27, year 2021 Journal 8 Part 1: Review Other Teams' final video projects As if you are their presentation coach, review the videos produced by three teams - including the two listed below yours in the share google doc "CST 300 Final Presentation Topic" and one of your choice. You are encouraged to review more. If your project is listed at the end, select the team at the top, so every team is reviewed by at least two others. Insert the link of the video and your evaluation and suggestion to your learning journal. Optional: You can also insert your evaluation and suggestions directly to their youtube video page as comments. Be constructive! The evaluation should include, but is not limited to 1. is the topic well covered? 2. is the presentation clear? 3. how is the quality of the research? 4. how is the quality of the video production? 5. is the video engaging ...
