Timers on Visual Basic
Tick tock tick tock!!
Today in Visual Basic we learned how to create digital clocks, in which the time changes automatically after a certain time interval. In this case, the time interval is set to 1000 milliseconds, or 1 second. On a new form, we created a label in which the time would display as the caption, and a command button to close the program. Here is a sample of what the program would look like in code view:
Unload Me
End
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
tmrTimer.Interval = 1000
End Sub
Private Sub tmrTimer_Timer()
lblTime.Caption = Time
End Sub

Google Analytics
Hey everyone! A few weeks ago I applied for an account on Google Analytics and embedded the code into my blog. By doing so, I am now able to view a tracking report on who visits my site, and lots of other interesting information about them (number of visits, time duration of visit, locations, referral sources etc). So far, I have 54 hits on my page from Canada, the US, and Mexico! My site also shows up on the Google Blog Search, which has hopefully increased my chances of maybe eventually reaching 150 visits!
I'm very impressed with Google Analytics! Interested? Click here to sign up now!
Until next time!

One Laptop Per Child
MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte, has created the One Laptop Per Child program where children in developing countries such as Rwanda may each have access to a specially designed low-cost laptop.
It is still under consideration that our ICT 12 class may be able to pull together some money in order to take part in the "buy two, keep one" proposal. We will be able to donate a laptop to a child in a developing country as well as being able to keep one in the classroom to learn from such a fascinating unit of technology.
Personally, I support the proposal 100% and would be more than willing to contribute to such a beneficial program.

Until next time!
