This Tuesday we continued on imagining computers; the process is pretty much disk cloning, in which the contents of one computer's hard disk is transferred into another hard disk. This so the computer afterwards would have the same content as the 'maternal' computer. We imagined about twelve computers. That day, there was no meeting for us to attend in the Arizona Technology Council. Nearing the end of the day, we had to proofread a contract for another potential client for the company.
On Thursday, we were assigned in the morning to work on our blogs and projects. Soon, I will be getting the materials to start actually building a computer. Some time before lunch, Roshan and I were tasked to test this new website they made for their clients for any bugs. There were a couple as in the banner would appear twice when a recruiter would try get someone to join the site. Another was when we were trying to sign up to see if there were any bugs there, the site did not care what email was being used as long as it had "@" and .com, .org, .net, .anything. In addition to that, the birth date as well seemed to be over looked when it seemed someone that's just born today could be allowed to the site. However, we understood since the customer was on a budget. After we reported the problems, we want back into looking for more but there were no more major bugs.
When you say build a computer, are you building one from scratch?
ReplyDeleteJust curious as to how your experiences so far have helped your understanding of gaming computers? Are there elements (hardware and software) that are specific to gaming computers that would not be found on the standard system?
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Black! How are things going in Colorado?
DeleteThanks for asking! Things are going well -- assuming one likes snow. Hopefully the snowy weather pattern is now leaving for the year.
DeleteHey Ken,
ReplyDeleteGreat work so far, I hope to see more. However I think adding pictures or videos of the process would benefit your final product. Showing the process is a crucial part of creating an excellent product. Would you say this internship has allowed you to start identifying how hardware development of computers relates to the software and game development? Would you agree that hardware ultimately limits the capability of software programming and that to further gaming experiences, we must first achieve advancements within hardware?

Hi, This is Noah from Lutheran High School in Parker, Colorado, and was wondering what kind of operating system you would be putting on you computer and how powerful you were going to make you computer. Are we talking quadcore i7 processors with liquid cooling or just something small like and single i7 with a fan. Also, with your interest in software, will it run Linux? I myself am interested in becoming a software engineer, and think Linux may be a fun side project to school.
