Missed deadline

I missed the deadline for the week 3 assignment (for the IT Data Communications Management course: http://itdatacommmoorefo1.blogspot.com/). The assignment was due last night at 12. First missed assignment since I started the PhD program! I will try not to read too much into it.

I will continue trusting in Almighty God. Incidentally, the verse of the day at BibleGateway.com is:

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 NIV

Course starts today

My new course starts today. Hopefully, I don't need a textbook. I would rent the textbook (as I did in the past - see: https://www.instagram.com/p/BCPfaqDCyGT/?taken-by=moorefo1picblog and https://www.instagram.com/p/BFmiPiNiyIz/?taken-by=moorefo1picblog) and it would take a while to get here. I will log on to check soon.

I just created a document in GoogleDocs to track my work in StumbleUpon:

Social media is interesting!

Work

I created the new blog and new project in ResearchGate (yesterday). See related posts:

I am still "looking around" StumbleUpon to learn more about the platform. Today, I created a new account - moorefo1quad (the idea for stuff in the account came from a quadratic equation, which has two solutions). I am adding websites/links and tags at this time.

I just discovered that some websites/links cannot be added. This is an example:

(Past blog post on my Pascal program to solve simultaneous equations - for UOLondon GCE O Level, external examinations. I received a B for the projects completed prior to the "actual" examination, C for the subject/course overall - disappointing. I had fun with that program once I figured out what I needed to do.)

Setting up

I sent the email to my Academic Advisor requesting a new start date for my next course (to 4/10/2017 - next Monday).  See my related post on Twitter/Facebook/GooglePlus:

I am about to set up for the new course - create a new blog, create a new project in Research Gate, and so on. This time I will add StumbleUpon to the mix. (I created StumbleUpon accounts recently to learn more about the platform.) Right now, I am not sure how I will use StumbleUpon. Maybe I'll add each paper to an account that now contains a few papers from LinkedIn. That depends on what I learn about tagging and folder creation in StumbleUpon over the next few hours/days.

I found these interesting articles on StumbleUpon:
