html

The Dickens assignment has started out in the usual way for me. Technology is the most difficult hurdle. Kompozer is a breeze and actually fun to use. And I was able to download all the free software with ease (Kompozer, cyberduck and iterm). I had difficulty creating a html folder with the public folder on the mainframe. Cyberduck actually created the folder, but it wasn't showing up on the webpage.

I went in to the mainframe and used the programing info received during class and thought it should work. I still couldn't view the webpage and had to resort to making a call. I figured my lack of expertise with programming was probably the reason. Both I and the tech were on the mainframe together. The tech could not see my folders at his end, so he had me type in a command (I wish I had written it down, but was focused on what I was doing on the keyboard) which made everything visible. Nice.

I wish I actually understood what I had just done.
There are some mysteries that are better left mis-understood (sort of like the virgin birth...)
