Okay so my title may make you believe that I'm actually going into cyber space on some sort of Tron journey but I am not. This just seemed like a good title because I can hear my roommates watching TV and making fun of the new Tron movie coming out. I personally think that there should be a project where we go into cyber space and have epic battles but I don't think our technology is quite there yet.
Project 3 for class does not seem to be too difficult. We have to first find a website that is in rough shape. This means that it has to have links that go nowhere, look terrible etc. Basically the website has to be so bad that we can redesign it to be in full working order. To do this we can either make a power point or use Google site's to create a new web site. I don't know which I would rather do as both of them look fairly easy. Personally, I'm leaning more toward using PowerPoint because it is something I am familiar with. I have never used Google site's nor have I ever created a webpage so I don't want to have to learn how to write in HTML code or anything like that. If Google sites are as confusing as I presume, then I have no interest in using it for a project.
This is a group project, and I generally work well in a group so I hope that this will be no sweat. I have been put into a group with three people that I don't really know in class but I have no doubt that we will be successful. I think the group will help me procrastinate less due to the fact that I am a notorious procrastinator. If procrastinating was in the wild west during the 1800's and the towns people treated procrastinators like outlaws, I would truly be Jesse James or Jesse the Kid. Generally, I don't like to let people down so I think that my procrastination will sit out during this project.
I haven't really looked in depth into a website to do but a couple people in my group seem to have found one they think is terrible enough to redesign. I looked into this nomination and it seems to fit all the criteria. I also think it's funny because this site is for a URI sports team and I would have guessed that our university paid people to work on websites. Apparently not, or they are just doing a terrible job of it.
I typed in on Google "the worst websites" and I got a few I found to be hilarious but they were so bad that I didn't want to have to take the time to make up information and put it on the site. My ideal site would be in tough shape but have enough information on it that we could just copy and paste most of it. This will mean much less work for everyone, something that I would enjoy as we are in full swing midterm hell week right now.
