and this could be the end of us

>:(

the 's' dive has decided to hate on us, just like last lesson, so no assignment working today..

but here is the theory part of our asignment..

oh wait, i was about to write my storyboard, but no, because i can't save it.

but here is alittle sample of my wonderful yet-to-be-finished assignment :)

i'm sending all my love to you

a s s i g n m e n t - p a r t a

Question One;
What ethical/legal issues need to be considered when implementing this database.
the type of language in the song, there might be bad language.
the images you display/songs - copyright, you need to get permission to display those images from the publishers, eg. sony

Question Two;
Discuss what advantages such a system has over conventional methods of organizing and previewing music?
you can search through any genre at any time, you can view mutlipul tracks at the touch of a button, it saves time that would be waisted if you had to flick through every album in the whole store.

Question Three;
Create a "data dictionary" for your database.
discription of field, name of field, data type (image, number, etc.)

Question Four;
"Storyboard" how the user will navigate through your database, ie. the path from user follows to get from one form to the next.

it's now or never

&& it's that time of the term again, where the assignment comes into play.
we basically have to make a prototype of a database which main intent is to be used by a owner of a music store.
i'm thinking of using around 15 songs in it...

and it'll need to have
-song title
-artist
-album
-genre
-duration
-album cover
-sound sample file
-release date

mmmmmmmmm, i think i'll use a few of my favourite songs for this assignment :)

emotion sickness - silver chair
haven't met you yet - michael bublé
you might have noticed - the academy is
thanks for the memories - fall out boy
waking up in vegas - katy perry
sound of madness - shinedown
jesus of suburbia - green day
fall for you - secondhad serenade
decode - paramore
how to save a life - the fray
funhouse - pink
the antidote - story of the year
resistance - muse
last night on earth - green day
time is running out - muse

i'm starting to like this assignment :)

love, i just haven't met you yet

bits and bytes ;)

1. what is a digit ? a digit is a single place that can hold a numerical value between 0 and 9. Digits are normally combinded together in groups to create larger numbers.

2. you may be asking what is the base 1o system ? The base-10 number system is known as the decimal number system. but be warned, they are extremely expensive.

3.where does the word bit originate from? it's like a failed attempt at an acronym 'binary digit'

4.how would you write 4,321? well i'd write it as 4,321..but you could also write it as; (4 * 1000) + (3 * 100) + (2 * 10) + (1 * 1) = 4000 + 300 + 520 + 1

5.write the following numbers in binary (base 2)

21 = 10101 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 4) + (1 x 1)= 21 (base 10)
24 = 11000 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 8) = 24 (base 10)
30 = 11110 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 8) + (1 x 4) + (1 x 2) = 30 (base 10)

6. what is a byte? a byte is a sequence of 8 bits processed as a single unit of information

7. How many bytes in a kilo, mega, giga and tera bytes.

1 kilo: 1024 bytes
1 mega: 1048576 bytes
1 giga: 1073741824 bytes
1 tera byte: 1099511627776 bytes

and there are some extra questions, which i attempted, but the numbers were too large and freaked me out, so i didn't do them :/
