It’s mid-term time. It’s a little bit busy with quiz and assignments. I haven’t got time to work on my Wiki skin. I’ll wait study week. Hopefully I can finish a Java assignment before study week.
It was so cold here. It was -20C, and today is -10C.
I signed up Google Apps for my domain today and played around with it, and it’s great! look at what Google says:
Google Apps for Your Domain lets you offer private-labeled email, instant messaging and calendar accounts to all of your users, so they can share ideas and work more effectively. These services are all unified by the start page, a unique, dynamic page where your users can preview their inboxes and calendars, browse content and links that you choose, search the web, and further customize the page to their liking. You can also design and publish web pages for your domain. (Google Inc.)
And this is total free, I also can add many email accounts for my domain which are powered by Gmail. As long as you are not seriously considering privacy and security, this is one of the best email services for your domain.
Here are some screen shots:
RIght now, it’s still in Beta, it doesn’t provide many function for an enterprise; but it’s good enough for small business and individuals.
I had updated my blog theme today, it looks much better than before. The main changes are navigation menu and all the background. In this design, I only employed few and simple color, which is gray. The overall looks clean and neat, also it’s easy to read from UI standard. Readers can tell each post easily with carefully selected color and designed border.
I was searching how to develop a good thesis for my assignment, and I found a neat and clear article regarding thesis and topic. Here are some key points that I extracted fro your reference.
A topic is a general area of inquiry; “topic” designates the general subject of your essay.
A thesis is an idea, stated as an assertion, which represents a reasoned response to a question at issue and which will serve as the central idea of a unified composition.
How to compose a thesis statement, think about how it satisfies the following tests:
Is it an idea? Does it state, in a complete sentence, an assertion?
Does it make a claim that is truly contestable and therefore engaging?
Are the terms you are using precise and clear?
Has the thesis developed out of a process of reasoning?
Once these questions have been satisfactorily answered, use the resulting thesis to organize your evidence and begin the actual writing. As you do so, bear in mind the following questions:
What is my purpose in writing? What do I want to prove?
What question(s) does my writing answer?
Why do I think this question is important? Will other people think it equally important?
What are my specific reasons, my pieces of evidence? Does each piece of evidence support the claim I make in my thesis?
Where does my reasoning weaken or even stop? Am I merely offering opinions without reasoned evidence?
