1. I was able to complete the "Where's Your Stuff?" exercise successfully. However, my TextEdit Program did not allow me to save my file with the extension .html. Instead, there was a drop down menu that allowed me to select the type of file I wanted to save my document as, and .html was included. Other than that, my computer was able to create the webpage as specified in the activity.
2. I did succeed in connecting to the Keck lab. I found this task relatively easy compared to the other commands we use in different programs.
3. I think my main problem with command lines, is that I can't remember the proper commands and what they produce. Using examples in class helps, because I am more likely to remember a code that I self typed and used to find an answer. Therefore, I think the most effective method in helping my retention of the information, would just be continue working through practice problems.

1. I was able to complete "Where's Your Stuff?" fairly easily. I switched the file type from .txt to all files from a drop down menu and added the extension .html to the end of the title.
2. I connected to the Keck Lab very easily.
3. I feel that I just need more practice learning the command line. It is like another language, and takes time and practice to master.

1. I was able to complete the "where's your stuff?" exercise successfully. When I changed the extension to .html, the shortcut changed to a google chrome logo.
2. I did have some trouble logging in to the Keck lab at first, but only because I forgot my username and password. After I figured out what that was, it was pretty simple.

Week 3

Gabriel Leis

1. I completed the "Where's Your Stuff?" exercise unsuccessfully. In order to change the file to a .html file my computer insisted that I must first duplicate the document. After saving the file as .html the symbol next to the title did not change.
2. Success!!!!
3. I am still seeing blurred lines between the transition from a "normal" graphic file- i.e. word document- and a pure text file. Hopefully more practice with putty and terminal will define the lines.
