Help Desk Student Center Day One

Today, a student came down because most of his apps on his iPad were removed. Immediately, I assumed he lost connection with the Self Service app. However, I found out he lost connection to his iTunes profile and needed to reverify his account. However, the verification process required typing in a code that was shared to trusted devices, which I assumed the help desk in the media center would have because he has a school owned iPad. Thus, I told him the help desk center in the media center would be his best bet for verifying his account.

Additionally, Mrs. Hennessy required our opinion regarding wether or not she needed a speaker. We told her she needs an additional speaker in order for the sound to be louder because her volume was maxed out and could still barely be heard (the sound seemed to be coming from the modem, which I have never seen before).

Should I Wear Pants Today? App Review

image At first glance, this app may seem like a joke due to its name. However, this app offers a solution to a common question regarding what attire would be best for the day based on the weather. Nobody wants to spend their day at school sweating in a pair of jeans because they didn’t check the humidity for the day or shivering in a pair of shorts because they did not account for the cold wind. Should I Wear Pants Today? quickly gives the three most important factors for determining whether or not to wear long pants: humidity, wind temperature, and average temperature. In my opinion, simple apps are the most visually attractive and effective; Should I Wear Pants Today? is a simple app that is very easy to use. If you have location services enabled, click on the menu button in the top left hand corner and select current location to receive the weather report for your location.

Overall, I am very impressed with this app and will continue to use it in the future.

Patrick’s Trip to the Cape

On Sunday, Bridgette (my sister), my father, Linford (a programmer from China that my father is training), and I went to the Cape to show Linford what it is like. We went on two nature walks and went to the beach as well. After the beach, we went to Provincetown and walked around the downtown areas checking out different shops. Overall, it was an eventful and fun day.
