Technical Difficulties

This week went by very quickly. I had to recreate the website that I showed previously. Apparently, I created it under a Maricopa domain when I should have created it under a Phoenix College domain. I’m not sure how this prevents students from viewing the site but it posed problems. I tried changing the url to a Phoenix College domain. However, as it turns out, you can only change the ending of the url once the site has been made using Google Sites. So I was in a terrible state thinking that I would have to recreate the side from scratch all over again. Fortunately, Google Sites has a nifty feature that allows you to copy a site that you have previously made. So, I just copied the site onto a Phoenix College domain and all was well again.

Wednesday of this week was PC’s Student Involvement fair. I “volunteered” to represent the robotics club. I had to make a poster with our logo on it which, as usual, proved difficult. However, in the end I had a nice printout of the Kodiak Robotics Logo. The only down side was that the printer made lines in the ink. I shaped it and made it all pretty. Thus, at the fair, the robotics club had the prettiest and most amazing poster out of all the clubs. I, along with Yanny and Josh, set forth to recruit new members. We collected an entire sheet of “I’m interested” signatures. However, knowing how most students just sign those in the spur of the moment, I’m hoping that at least 4 new candidates will show up to the club meeting.

All silliness aside, this week I’m speaking with Dr. Anne Hodgkins to make a final decision on my research project/internship. I’m still not sure what to do. After google-ing research topics, however, I found something that interests me, maze algorithms. Whether or not I can do a project on this is still unknown to me. Hopefully, everything works out
