We have our first meeting today after the audition. I attended the Cyberfair Contest last year. It was fun. Our teacher explained what the Cyberfair is, what the eight categories of the Cyberfair are, and what our responsibilities are in this contest. Each of us has to come up with a theme and make it into a mind map. Hopefully, everyone is able to come up with a variety of topics.

We have two tasks to complete today, introduce ourselves to others and discuss the mind maps, some of them are not appropriate because of geography restriction.
Therefore, we all need to give a second thought on the topic we chose.

In addition, my teammates and I watched website of the Cyberfair from the past few years. It helped us to know what elements we need to create a website that will be selected to participate in the Cyberfair contest.

We also had to discuss what the topic would be. Some topics are good enough to be a project to work on, however, some of them do not meet the standards. Then we were left with three kinds of topics we are allowed to choose. I am looking forward to knowing whether the topic I like the most will be the one we are going to work on or not.

We have met up for several times, but I still find it difficult to keep track on what we are supposed to do in class. Fortunately, my teammates are always very willing to help me. It makes me feel more comfortable to be part of this team. After several discussion and suggestions from the school principal, we decided on Ri Xing Type Foundry as the topic of our project. What we need to do next is to think about the name of our team and the title of our project. Also our teacher gave us a lot of suggestions on how to pick up a name for our team and the title for the project. What is more, we have to hand in the procedure chart of the project by next Tuesday.

Each of us has our own task to complete. My responsibility is to find our more information about the letterpress printing blacks in storage. I also need to know how the owner of Xi Ring Type Foundry purchased the copper printing blocks from United Daily News and how many kinds of lead character pieces are still in use. If we cannot find the information we need, we will have to ask the owner when we will visit the shop. I believe I need to come up with good questions before that day. I have to keep pace with my teammates.

We took the MRT to the type foundry. The location of the type foundry remains mysteriously hard to find. Before we went right straight to the basement we saw a whole collection of lead written characters on the Lin’s word shelf. We asked the owner a lot of questions. He gave us answers to the questions with a lot of details. After that, we went to experience the techniques of movable-type printing with a Ri Xing movable type experiential box. It was our first time to see typecasting machine in real. It was amazing. We asked permission from the owner to touch the typecasting machine. Also the owner showed us how to operate this machine. We all were so lucky to have a chance to experience all this. We took a group photo with the owner at the end.

We missed the group meeting on December 8th due to the school field trip, so we were a bit behind schedule. Today the teacher asked us to accomplish two things: first, type out the interview log including the questions and answers from the interviewee; second, we need to analyze and comment on the answers of the interview. All the students who were unable to finish the tasks need to come back every evening after 3:45 pm. I have already set up my mind to accomplish all the tasks within the imparted deadline.

After several discussions with teachers, we decided to use PhotoImpact X3 to change the size of the photos into 330*220 and add white board on each photo. We got a lot to do these two days.

We use Dreamweaver to design the webpage. We are not that familiar with this software. However, fortunately we got a lot of assistants from our teachers. Our teachers always helped us solve problems whenever we had. As we use Dreamweaver more, we get used to it. Hopefully, working as team is the most efficient way to get the work done.
