When I first got there we first talked about what I planned on doing. Once we got that figured out we just needed to find the best way to show how a server worked. He came up with either make a PC from spare parts and install software on it to act like a server or to install a virtual machine on my PC. Which is basically like making another computer on my computer and installing server software on the separate PC. I decided to go with the Virtual Machine idea because it would be the easiest to do.
After that we had to download the programs to do this as well as install them while waiting we talked about which type of server we should do. Also I got to witness what he does for work, which is a lot of web site designing. Once we got the programs installed he showed me how to run the Virtual Machine and explained that its like having a separate PC in your PC. We then got the Linux OS installed on the VM. We then got the OS to start up a telephone server just to show what it can do. We were able to set up a out going line for a telephone after working on the scripts. So we could call anyone on the phone connected to his computer. After learning some of the Linux commands we got the VM player and the Linux TrixBox server programs burned on a DVD. While this was going on we talked about all the types of servers I could run on my computer. He said with trixbox OS I could run a database server, a voice of ip server, or a web server and how each one could be used as a product. After that he showed me how to mess with each one through the VM/trixbox. After that the DVD was done he said for me to play with it at home to determine which one I want to do.

When I got home and tried to use the DVD the files weren’t working so I called him and explained what the error was. He then went over what it could be and we were trying to fix it. After about eight tries of trying to change the files to have them work he decided it would be better just to re download the files because it was probably the DVD that was corrupt so he then told me to go to the right sites to download the files then where to properly install them. Then he helped me change the settings on the trixbox so that it could run with out being on a router. After that he had to go and I got it running

When I arrived at his office I went over all that I did and we decided that it would be best to do a web server once that was done we had to get the script we needed to use. We decided on using a image hosting because it would be easiest to show how its working and how other people can us this web site. We then had to upload this script on to his own website as well as change it into a Linux format. After doing this we uploaded it onto our server. After that we had to set all the permissions for everyone to use on the web. Which to get into those settings we had to navigate around with the Linux commands. We then got it finally up and working he showed me exactly how everything was connected on a dry erase board. Which is a person by typing in the Ip address or host name to go to the website Apache takes this request sends it through php. The php sends it to the server which is trixbox, trixboxs then sends the user HTML which is what you see from websites. So all I had to do at home was set everything else up the same as he did then get all those steps connected and I have my own image hosting website on my pc.

Medieval
1. The Squire is the son of The Knight. He fought in battles but is a dandy. He is kind of feminine. “All full of fresh-cut flowers red and white. Singing he was, or whistling, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May”
2. The Knight strong yet noble knight, he fought in many battles all over Europe. “At Alexandria, in the winning battle he was there; Often put in the place of honour, a chair.”
3. The Yeoman is neat, orderly and proud. A Christopher medal on his breast of silver sheen. He bore a horn, the baldric all of green;
4. The Prioress is very prim and proper. Also she’s nice and pure. “Graciously she reached for food to dine. And certainly delighting in good sport, She was very pleasant, amiable - in short. She was in pains to imitate the cheer”
5. The monk is an outdoors person. He hunts and doesn’t seem to be old fashion like most monks. By reason it was somewhat old and strict, This same monk let such old things slowly pace And followed new-world manners in their place
6. The clerk is a educated man. He went to oxford and studied philosophy. He is also really skinny. Who'd studied philosophy, long ago. As lean was his horse as is a rake,
7. The sergeant of law is hard working but also good at pretending he is working. “Nowhere a man so busy of his class, And yet he seemed much busier than he was”
8. The Franklin was a well to do man. He eats a lot and doesn’t seem too kind. “Woe to his cook, unless the sauces were Poignant and sharp, and ready all his gear. His dining table, waiting in his hall,”
9. The Sailor lives outside of the town by himself. He doesn’t seem the most honest person there is. “Very often he took a draught of wine, Of Bordeaux vintage, while the trader slept. Nice conscience was a thing he never kept.”
10. The Physician based his study off of astronomy and based his cures off of it. Is greedy and not very religious “Since gold in physic is a cordial, Therefore he loved his gold exceeding all. His study was but little on the Bible.”
11. The Miller he is be and hairy. He’s not an honest guy to be doing business with. “But mostly all of sin and obscenity. He could steal corn and three times charge his fee;”
12. The Manciple is a trader who is vulgar man but very well to do. “Now is it not of God's very fair grace That such a vulgar man has wit to pace The wisdom of a crowd of learned men?”
13. The Reeve is very skinny and a farmer. “There was no agent, herd, or servant who'd cheat; He knew too well their cunning and deceit; They were afraid of him as of the death.”
The story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is about how the Green Knight comes to King Arthur’s court and asks them are they really pure. He keeps questioning them, till the point the knights get mad. Finally Gawain takes his challenge to prove that he really is a pure knight. Gawain fails in killing The Green Knight so he has to come to him in a year to have his head cut off. He does this but on the way he isn’t totally honest with another nobleman. So when he comes to have his head cut off from the Green Knight he gets only a cut on his neck. Only because he isn’t a totally pure not but close.
The story shows how important chivalry was back then and how people would try so hard to get it. It also shows that some people pretended they were pure knights and that people weren’t perfect. All though you shouldn’t just stop trying to be perfect that you should always try to be the perfect knight.

sonnets
The way Shakespeare writes his sonnets rhyme scheme is that after each quatrain, it breaks up each by starting new rhymes. They aren’t connected at all so it doesn’t flow that well. Spencer’s though he connects each quatrain which makes the poem flow much more. I like Spencer a lot more because it connects each part together, instead of starting and stopping.
In Shakespeare’s he’s asking if he should compare someone to a summer’s day but decides he shouldn’t because the person is better. In the second point of view he says that a summer’s day can be bad because it can be too bright. The turn he talks about that the person will remain eternal and never loss his beauty. The conclusion is the person is eternal through his writing.
In the question Spencer is asking why do I love you so much when they are so much opposites. The view he’s explaining how she is so different then him. In the turn he explains that naturally they shouldn’t even be able to existence with each other. The conclusion he says that love doesn’t follow nature because it is more powerful.
Sonnet 75 Edmund Spenser
One day I wrote her name upon the strand, A
But came the waves and washed it away: B
Again I wrote it with a second hand, A
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey. B
He’s saying that when he tries to write her name it always eventually goes away no matter how many times he trys.
Vain man, said she, that doest in vain assay B
A mortal thing so to immortalize, C
For I myself shall like to this decay, B
And eek my name be wiped out likewise. C
The women tells him it’s a mortal thing to try and make something immortal and that she will decay like everything else.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise C
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: D
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize, C
And in the heavens write your glorious name. D
He replies that only the basic things decay and that she isn’t basic because she will live forever through this poem.
Where whenas Death shall all the world subdue, E
Out love shall live, and later life renew. E
That our love will never die.
William ShakespeareSonnet 39
O, how thy worth with manners may I sing, AWhen thou art all the better part of me? BWhat can mine own praise to mine own self bring? AAnd what is 't but mine own when I praise thee? B
The person is my better part of me. So I can’t praise you with out parsing my self
Even for this let us divided live, CAnd our dear love lose name of single one, DThat by this separation I may give CThat due to thee which thou deservest alone. D
Let us go away so I can praise you with what you deserve
O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove, EWere it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave FTo entertain the time with thoughts of love, EWhich time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive, F
While your gone it torments me but while were gone we love each other more.
And that thou teachest how to make one twain, G By praising him here who doth hence remain! G
Let us make us two, one
What is this Vestige
Is it just a name for a group
Or is it united by a liege
Or does it go in a endless loop?
When it sends the troops
With disciple unmatched
In victory their isn’t even a whoop
Even if they aren’t scratched
Yet if the soldiers are dispatched
Then are they really so prestigious
As if this ideal were attached
Yet they keep their stance of aegis
Alone they stand with such prestige
Are respected by all that is Vestige

Macbeth
What was very interesting to me was that a lot of people looked back to the Greek and Roman classics. This explains why artist start drawing or painting similar to the Greeks and Romans. An example of this is that a lot of paintings have nude people in then, when before that wasn’t allowed.
During the renaissance, the Catholic Church lost is almighty grip on people. This is because more people becoming literate. This allows more people to be educated to find things out on their own instead of having to have corrupt people tell them what stuff means
Scotland and Norway are at war and a big battle is under way at the beginning of the play. During the fight the Captain wonders about how the fight is going so he asks a Captain being brought off the battlefield. Since communications were limited to talking and writing so the king doesn’t know what is going on.
The Captain tells the king that Macbeth turned the battle into Scotland’s favor by himself. The king then congratulates Macbeth him doing this means he cares for his people. Then Ross comes in and says that the Thane of Cawdor has become a traitor. Since the King cares about his people he has Macbeth become the new Thane of Cawdor and has him re take it.
Macbeth comes home to his wife who tries to have him become the king. She tries to convince him to over throw the king because he is the one that is next in line now that he is the Thane of Cawdor. He doesn’t want to kill the king since the king was so generous to him.
During Act II Macbeth is debating in his mind on what to do. I thought that when he was debating on what the dagger was a big battle in his head. He was fighting over should he kill the king or should he not. Which if he did he could end up being the King. When he starts hallucinating about the dagger being bloodied he was sure he was going to kill the King.
When he came back to his wife he brought the daggers with him. This was when he wasn’t thinking right I think still. His wife didn’t like that he came back with the daggers and he refused to go back afraid of what he had done.
Then at the end Ross and an old man show how nature was important to the people in the Renaissance. They showed that if nature was acting weird then that was what was going on with people. Like nature reflects what is happening. So they thought that something very bad was going to happen because of how dark it was and that so many weird things have happened.
In the beginning of act III Banquo is wondering about the witches saying the stuff about Macbeth is true. He then wonders if his children will be kings as well. “Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the weird women promised,”
Then Macbeth talks to him and becomes worried because the witches said that Banquo’s sons would be kings and Macbeths would not. So he decides he would stop this before it happens. “Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared”. This is where he starts to mess up a lot because he has Banquo killed and tries to have Banquo’s son killed but he gets away. So it kind of back fires and it can make him look really bad.
During his party Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo after he knows his dead. Macbeth then flips out in front of all the lords he invited to the party. Nobody else can see the ghost so they think he is crazy. This is where he basically tells on himself for killing Banquo.
Macbeth is worried because he saw the ghost of Banquo, which freaked him out. So since he was worried about him self and his power he hold. “shall Banquo’s issue ever reign in this kingdom” line 102. When he was told his future by the witches he feels sure about himself so he decides to kill Macduffs whole family. “give to th’ edge o’ th’ sword his wife, his babe, and all the unfortunate souls” line 151. Which at this point he totally losses himself in his power and losses trust in people that aren’t with him totally.
Macduff did what most were afraid to do and that was stand against Macbeth. Him going to England to try and get Malcolm to come back and take back the crown from Macbeth. This shows that he really cares about Scotland and is willing to sacrifice so much for it.
Lady Macbeth even though she is being troubled by the evil that is going on she is feeling bad I think because she has been caught. Not because it was evil and horrible what she had Macbeth did. Macbeth taking everything the witches said literally so he thought he really was invincible because they said no one born form a woman could hurt him “What’s the boy Malcolm? Was he not born of woman?” line 3 page 373. Which will be his down fall of it all.
