March

• Some time in the near future, we will be graced with the presence of Joly McFie of the Internet Society-NYC. He is coming to bless us in the form of a scanner for the students to utilize.

• The Internet at HICAP has remained accessible for all computers, including our desk top, since the introduction of the wireless modem.
  

• On March 15, 2011, Speech Recognition Software is loaded, so that HICAP Seniors can speak their commands and have them implemented. We will test the efficacy of the software and make our assesment.

• We have new, returning and an ongoing student population utilizing the HICAP lab, we applaud their efforts.

Recent Discussions Included:

Understanding bits
USB for expansion hub

Because HICAP students knowledge base has progressed; putting what has been garnered into practice is our current collective goal. Our class will be shooting video, uploading it to our website and youtube. This promises to be an exciting time for all.

Message to the 2010 HICAP Graduates

Thursday, June 24, 2010

.

I would like to thank you for coming to class through your pain, after chemo, after waiting in the sun so long that you almost had heat stroke trying to get here on time; and also for coming to class after doctors' appointments just to capture the last few minutes of knowledge.

.

I would like to thank you for believing that this boring technical language will someday be useful. Most of all, I would like to thank each of you for achieving and surpassing my expectations.

.

A special acknowledgement to those who've had family and health issues and could not continue with us; remember, we are here when you are ready. My mission is to empower you with the understanding that you control this bit based system that we call computer. Your coursework over the summer is to remain hungry for knowledge. Most of all, I thank you for being you--HICAP ISOC-NY.
