Blackmon's Journal

    Monday

            We Recived our project today, hence my amazing new pbj Wiki. A two paragraph journal is required every day of the week for two weeks. Today during math class, I sat down and whipped up a timeline of events that I decided would be a good margin for things that need to get done. I have no idea if it works for my partner Mr. Stilicho, I am still waiting for him. I decided that the timeline would never be an overload, and that we would never work on Fridays.(Fridays, yeah, fridays are nice.)

 The bacteria we are working on is a form of a bacteria called bacillus. I did some reasearch on the bacteria, but the front page is Stilicho's job. We will begin constructing the meat of our site on Tuesday, currently getting our journals working. I am writing to say that our project will be amazing and that as soon as the meat of the matter is out of the way, the bells and the whistles will be coming. Including Mr. Bacillus, the powerpoint story.

    Tuesday

       During Biology today in class I set up the contact links and got them to make sense, we also finalized our timeline with our loving teacher. Later that day I sat down and decided to get a little serious, so I wasted some time finalizing the links on the side bar, and ensuring that they lead to all the respective blank pages(and look snazy). I then walked away from my computer, and watched T.V. About an hour later I come back revitalized and decide that in the spirit of working ahead I will do some of wednesdays work.(A feeling which I have never truly felt before)

    So I grab a chair next to the fire take a swig of my hot chocolate and delve into the micro world of Bacillus. What I found went onto the straight information page(which by far is my least favorite page) in which I managed to get good headway on the history habitat and description of the bacteria. By now I am out of hot chocolate, and I feel I cannot go on. Yet the dutiful biology acolyte that I am I felt obligated to my sense of pride to press on. I Emailed a teacher in hopes of getting the html for a game that is going to go on the website. If this works you will be able to play Bacillus related games, that will test you knoledge to a degree I find pleasing. Well my latin homework sits undone on the table before me and I feel the urge to be in a different room than it. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. (The timeline does)

    Wednesday

     As I stumble through the door today after an intense practice in which we run at least 13 horses, I realize that the last thing I want to do is biology, yet I find myself sitting down at my computer and looking through site after site, I soon discover that I posted some wrong information on the straight information page, it is not corrected yet because I am still wording it on a word document, AND CONFIRMING THAT IT IS ACCURATE INFORMATION, so if you read that page, remember that I am an idiot.

    But yet I find myself still sitting here, I also started Mr. Baccilus the power point epic story. Yet by now it is ten a clock, and I just started writing this journal, and dinner is calling. I need a good nights sleep because tommorow I wake up at the crack of dawn to play a all day basketball tournement.

    Thursday

    We are going on in the basketball tournement, my excitment is literally bleeding through the page. Smile smile. Yet I find myself having technical problems with Mr. Bacillus. Yet thanks to an Email I have found that I will be able to add movie clips to our wiki. Fantastic. My teacher has yet to email me the html for the games page, however they should not be very hard to make operate. So this weekend is do or die for me. If I haddent been working ahead all week I would be dead meat. So the word is this weekend. You will know if I am ontop of the game, or if the game is beating me.

    My bacteria is slowly reavealing itself to me, false information aside. Stilicho managed to get a quiz up and running, which made me smile, he had a more productive day, but I will have to live with my regret, because my bed is calling, and I feel compelled to listen.

    Friday

    Friday was not a productive day, infact the only thing I am doing is writing this journal up. So I think I am going to talk about what I am going to do. Games will be constructed I have the website that I am going to use, and they will probably be made on monday. I still am having trouble with Mr. Bacillus and I have half a mind to just drop that link all together. I will have to ask Stilicho. I am getting ready for bed, because I have to wake up at Five in the morining to make it to basketball. That is why I really ca't bring myself to work today.

    "Reasons You should Care" is looking like it is going to be a bit of a 5th wheel unless we can make it really top notch on the caring meter. I just don't know what we will put on this site(but maybe I am just tired) Stillich can tell me what he thinks, and we might have to make it our page were we link this site to some good videos or something.(Assuming the Bacillus Lentimorbus appears elsewhere besides a one sentence description on Wikipedia)

    Saturday

    Today we lost our basketball game, sad face. However, this allowed me to spend a rather devoted day to biology. After scouring the web I maneged to find a page ortwo that metions Lentimorbus. Information on this Bacterium is like looking for a needle in a haystack(the size of China). I found myself using alot of Stilicho's Professors work, to add onto the Straight Information Page. I have visited the game website, and it seems there are alot of complications with game making. I will have to have my teacher show me on Monday. I reread all my information and sources, and I am satisfied that all of it is accurate and reliable, I will have to get those pages to Stilicho so it can go on the Bibliograph. The rest of the day I will be off and on the website editing and changing things that I find to be annoying or useless. (This wiki is much harder to maintain than I thought it would. I also corrected my pathetic grammar in these past few journals)

    Sunday

    It has been decided that we needed to lose a few links, Mr. Bacillus seemed like it was going nowhere, and for the life of me I had no ideas for reasons you should care. This brought me to interesting facts. Straight info and IF say about the same stuff, with just a different spin on it. I quoted this on an email I sent to Stilicho. I want to keep interesting facts around, but I need to find a way to make it fresh, it has potential. I am thinking that if we expand Interesting facts horizon to all thinks interesting about everything Bacillus, and kept Straight Information, hitting on boring Lentimorbus related facts, the link would have more to offer.

    Well today I think was a good day, I added some more stuff to straight info, and Stilicho and I made some good decisions. (Hopefully) Yet now I am looking around at my house and realizing that it is the weekend. My T.V has not been turned on for at least an hour and I mean to rectify that.

    Monday

    Today was a uneventful day, I edited the page, and that was facinating. I found a site that barley mentioned Bacillus Lentimorbus, I am slowly getting frustrated with the lack of knoledge on this very obscure bacteria. I started editing the games yesterday, but they are not going well. I will pick up after dinner.(Munch Munch) I really didn't know how I would continue this afternoon I really need to talk to stilicho. Really no pages are popping up after the initial ones. The Games are going to be awseome though if I can figure out how they work. However, life is going good and this site is running ship shape. But know sleep beckons and it is a call that I have never been able to ignore.

    Tuesday

    Today I found something very interesting, I went to the options menu and I found that you could change the skin of your wiki, pretty cool huh. I tried out all of them, but I found that one of them was near and dear to my cold heart. So in the backround you see a pretty backdrop of bamboo, lots and lots of bamboo, in all honesty it is just because in this project it is just because we are too cheap to give up a few dollars for a cooler backround. Yet on a happier note the timeline has been updated so we don't look quite so foolish. Information is scarce, but we think we have a good lay of the land when it comes to our information.

   Wednesday

    After almost dying in a hard practice, in which Stilicho did not have to participate in because he went and broke his thumb, ( I feel sorry for him, yet the burning in my legs is making me edgy.) I went and did nothing on the project, except write this journal. Sorry my good friend Website, but I have alot of homework to do, and the Timeline has very frivolous things on it today, so I decided to procrastinate. PROCRASTINATE. However I should be finished with the games tommorow. That will be exciting. It has been confirmed though, Bacillus Lentimorbus is a soil inoculant and is very helpful to society, strange. When I think of small critters I usually think sick.

    Thursday

   Games are done, games are done tra la la la la la, I have them finished I have the finished. (pretend that the last sentence was in song format) I have the games finished, yet I don't know how to link the to the website, which is a problem, because while they are very cool on my computer, I think it would be better on the website. I will ask around on how such things can be done. We created a new link today, The Mind of the Creators, this is a site basically for me to vent and say stupid things to help me stay focused for the rest of the project. I also think it will get a good laugh in the presentation. So far I have some good material on the site and I am hoping someone will crack a smile or two.

     Friday

     Today I still find myself unable to link the games, I didn't ask anyone at school, which was probably a mistake. I am now feeling that end of project nervousness, I wonder how everyone else's projects stack up toe blackmonsbacillus. No going back now I suppose, we have some good bells and whistles, and If we get the games up and running we should be alright. However, I am worried about or information and how it is going to do. This is a very obsucre topic and I can't help but wonder If we have enough information. Listen to me freting away. This is not like me at all. Anyway, our journals should be alright, I have done everything in my power to make the interesting. It is in the hands of the teacher now. Long my she live, and Long may she give us a good grade.

    Saturday

    I am incredibly busy today, and all the work I could get done was at night. Stilicho and I had a email frenzy and got last minute things taken care of. But by the time we were going strong, it was almost eleven and both of us turned in. Here is what we got done, I turned over finding new websites and Straight information to Stilicho, while I try and finish the bells and whistles such as linking the games. I got some editing problems out of the way as well, and being the good little boy that I am I made the Audience Evaluation. This is a piece of paper that supposedly will help the audience evaluate this master piece in a more fitting way. Yet by now I too must turn in, tommorow will be a busy day.
