The compute downloads that I did over the weekend have given me a new tool bar that enables me to open multiple online with ease, this is great and makes my job easier, going between web sites.

Only minutes ago I successfully achieved my first task for module one. Completing this task was not possible without the support of two fellow classmates who answered my plea for help and provided assistance, which enabled me to resolve the problems that I was experiencing.
I began my 2nd week enthusiastic. I logged into Telnet or what I though was telnet- thus the cause of a lot of my confusion, but it was ‘LogMeIn’ a remote access. Well at least I can do this with ease. But it was not telnet and I had thought for over eight days it was and could not understand why I was experiencing difficulty in accessing the module 1 tasks to completion.
I installed a java (TM) SE Runtime Environment 6.Update 1-

I have had trouble and it is only the beginning of week two. I am plagued with self-doubts, over my ability to meet the tasks, the self-doubt I find a crippling experience. The there is the helping hand given freely by classmates that enable me to move pass the impasse. Then there is the elation that I have experienced when I achieved my goal. I wonder if the self-doubt has little to do with my ability to partake successfully in this subject and more to do with ‘Me’. So I find at the end of this day a little less confused, isolated and more peaceful.

It is day four on NET11.
I have been at it for five hours and I see no end in sight. For me- I find this frustrating. I have re done what I did yesterday and the day before and the day before that. I get so far on following links and then find I forgot what I am doing, so I start again. I must be dyslexic or something (probably something). So, that my feelings on this confusing matter. I feel way out of my league, isolated and lost. I am not even sure what I am suppose to be doing – but I am trying by attempting to follow the instructions in week one set by the tutor.
The way I am overcoming this is to post a ‘help message’, which I have done and follow the replies- hopefully to some resolution in my tasks- that I have set for myself. For Tomorrow will set myself one task to complete: this is the Deakin library file transfer, (hopefully by posting a help today will enable me to complete it successfully tomorrow, or else I will try, try and try it again.
My day; I begun by login into ‘Oasis” to check my mail, then into “VOX’ and posted my favourite book. I went into NET11 webct and commenced my day. H/W needs attention so I thought that I would listen to a lecture by Adrian Woods on Electronic publishing (Module 3) - it was interesting and I could do 45 mins H/W whilst I listened to the material.
Where I went today:
http://computerhowstuffworks.com
To http://www.iana.org this is an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. I checked my current IP address of the hostname by IPCONFIG.EXE on http://www.whois/ My IP is 124.187.64.161 I logged into Telnet on http://www.LogMeIn.com. But that is where I got lost as I typed in deakin.edu.au and got the library: Bennahum and got 8 hits but when looked for the command before print I could not find one so hit print and my computer took over. I know that it is something that I am or are not doing correctly that brings me to this destination. My goal is to find out what and correct it so that I can move on in my readings, tasks, following links and thinking about the larger picture, thinking about the concepts as I move through the readings, tasks, links and such.
I found reading the material and links on ‘how to do it’ interesting and it is here that I have spent most of my time, over the last three days.
