So I do IT. This guy puts in a ticket and before hand I pulled up his computer. We get a quick blurry image of the persons desktop before we remote in. I see something a little odd.

So then call him up.

Me: Hey this is Tom from XXXXXXX calling about your server issues.

Him: Yes! Glad you called. (continues to explain issues)

Me: Can I remote into your computer?

Him: Oh yes... I just need to close out of some important work stuff. (see below)

Looks like some real important work stuff we got going on here.

What's the difference between Computer Science and Compute Information Science. Thanks for answering my question. I hope you've been well.

That’s a really good question. My understanding may be imperfect, but basically it’s as follows; Computer Science is the study of computing systems themselves. It’s a fairly holistic and broad approach to algorithmic thinking, and seeks to apply computational methods to solve problems. It is not specific to digital computers and one would be correct in considering the Abacus a very early product of Computer Science.Computer Information Science is slightly different beast. It’s an amalgamation of both Computer Science and Information Science. Within this field the computational device is a tool, rather than the goal itself, for the processing and presentation of information. The end goal is the manipulation of information.Basically, if you want to work on the various bits and pieces, both hardware and software, for creating the next microchip then study Computer Science. If you want to program bank software or make video games then study Computer Information Science. As always though, when considering your field, understand that if it’s a specialization within the broader group look for education that caters to the specialization without disregarding the whole.Hope that helps! Feel free to inbox me with any further questions.

Life, life & school

I feel like I could use some alcohol in my system right now, but I probably shouldn't.  I have an exam to study for, my exam's tomorrow.  BUT, I'm also super tired and just want to go take a nap!  Ugh.  I don't feel very motivated at this point, but I definitely need to be!  I have to keep my head up high and study for this frickin' exam, because I just got a 90% on my Math 209 exam, which I seriously thought was impossible!  So I really need to step up my game, I've got it, I just have to use it.  Then again, alcohol still sounds good.

Would you drink if we went to go drink?  Whether it was drinking in or drinking out?  I haven't drank with you in a long time.  It's sad.  =(  We need time to just chill and stop worrying!

Anyways, there's only four or five weeks left, which is kind of nerve racking for me.  I am not exactly where I want to be right now for my GPA.  Gaaah!  Good thing is that I am moving in the right direction though.  I've halted myself, composed myself, and continued onward with my journey -- & it's working out pretty well so far.  So I'm glad.

I'm so tired.  Blah.  Maybe a nap?  Well, nonetheless, I'm going to go look over my CIS coding, so catch ya on the flip side.
