Day 5

On day 5 of my internship I spent most of the day going through the pictures I had saved and edited, and changed their file names to better describe what/who the picture was of. Since we cannot "tag" pictures, renaming files to better describe them is the only other method of making it easier for people to find certain pictures/photos when searching.

Susan told me to take a 1 hour lunch break (longer than it usually takes me to eat lunch and get back) so I decided to go to DJ's instead of getting fast food.

When I got back I continued to rename files and I had to e-mail a few people to find out the names of some of the students in a few of the pictures.

At about 2:30pm there was a "Watermelon Party" outside. President Oxindine, a lot of other employees, and a few students were there. I ate 7 or 8 slices (I forget) but I thought it was REALLY good watermelon.



After the "Watermelon Party" I finished up renaming (almost) all of the file names for the pictures/photos I found.

Once I was done renaming files, Susan showed me how we were going to set up the section called "Microsoft Software" which I had previously created but since there was so much information we thought it looked somewhat unappealing and decided to change it to where it will just be a single link that opens up a .pdf file with all of the information on it so that the website won't be so clustered up.

Then Susan and I discussed using videos on CatLink so that people won't have to read so much (since all text can be pretty boring). She started talking about a program called "Camtasia," and then I told her that I used to use a program called CamStudio; she excitedly responded "Do you still have it!!? I've looked all over for that program and can't find it anywhere!" I told her that I did not, but then I got on the internet and found it within 3 minutes and downloaded it in about 30 seconds.

The great thing about CamStudio is that it is completely free, simple, and produces good quality videos.

After finding CamStudio we discussed making videos on Day 6 and posting the information on Microsoft Software.
