Unit 10

Working through the various routines was straightforward.  I did have one issue, which I was pretty sure I would have.  I decided to take my home computer to work to try and get some of my class done during the downtimes.  All went well.  I was able to use vmware and do assignments one through three.... easy.  Then I got to the part where I needed to login to webmin.  I knew that I would have issues as my network was now ASU instead of my home network.  I went through trying to figure out how I could still complete my assignments at work... but I just could not do it.  I believe it has something to do with how my computer is recognized at the ASU network vs my home network.  Ifconfig indicated my ip address was still the same.... but I have a feeling ASU assigned me a different IP.  Also, I was using ASU guest, I know there were recent hacking issues with ASU so I suspect security was pretty tight.  Soon as I came home and tried webmin, I had zero problems.   I did note that I keep creating users and I neglected to write them down.  Definitely a learning experience there.  SQL was ok.  It was not as intuitive for me as some of the other languages we have used.  I have the least experience with SQL so I am sure that figured into being a little more awkward.  I feel I am in the home stretch, now if I can just pass those pesky quizzes.
