I tried to search for topics such as "sound vibration" and "calculating sound vibration" using Yahoo!, but at first my computer was disagreeable. When I finally did get through a couple of the results wouldn't open. I wound up with a couple of course descriptions and a number of sights that were highly scientific. I think that perhaps I need a different topic to work with. I tried to look up "vibration," but my computer was disagreeable again. I also tried to use Epnet and couldn't get there either.

I changed my topic to "math and music" and looked at two of the URLs you gave us that had the word music in them. They gave me a few ideas as to what to look up, and I looked at a couple of their links and also found a couple sites through Yahoo!.

I searched in Yahoo! a bit, but I mostly just scrolled through sites that had come up but didn't appear to be related to my topic and ran out of time before going anywhere. I was searching under the advanced search (utilizing the "and" feature) for both math and music.

I fought with the Internet to search at Yahoo!. It was being uncooperative, but I finally did get through after switching from Netscape Communicator to America Online. I used the same keywords and continued going through the results.

I created an image of a natural sign using the sharp sign I got from http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/4116/Music/music.htm and also created an image of the Circle of Fifths that took awhile to put together.

Thereís a problem with the mailbox, and it didnít go through. I also checked the spelling and grammar of this log and converted it into html format. I worked on my page about Music's Effect on Studying and started a page about music and the Fibonacci Sequence. I also added a little more information to my Key Signature/Pitch page.

I printed out the e-mail I sent to the third site listed above requesting permisison to link to their site. I did some final research on the first two sites listed above and worked on my Music/Studying page and Fibonacci page. I printed the e-mail I sent to the first site listed above asking for permission to use their materials and link to their site. I also got four images that a friend of mine scanned (I will simply call her Yume since this is going on-line) and editted three of them and added them to my pages. I also printed out the permission she gave me. Then I decided to try to get my site posted on-line. I signed up for a Yahoo! account and eventually got all of my pages and images to work. I also linked all of my pages not only to the main site but to the next page after them so that you wouldn't have to continue going back to my hompage unless you wanted to reach the log or the links. I changed the color of links for my pages also. I editted the image of the piano keyboard for the Fibonacci page (black was misspelled).

I redownloaded the pictures from my friend because I had deleted them yesterday since I thought I was done. I added links from my small versions of those pictures to the full size ones. If you click on any of those three pictures it will now link you to the full size version of the picture.

I dial tone came back. I don't know why. I tried to add a counter to my main page that didn't work, and I added a mail:to tag to my name at the bottom of the page. I found out how to get background music on my page and tried to decide what to have as background.

I downloaded an ftp client so that I could upload my WAVE file through that. When I used Yahoo!'s Easy Upload, it corrupted the file. Once I'd uploaded the WAVE file again, I didn't get a message about a plug-in anymore, but the file still didn't play. So I uploaded the AIFF file (which is less memory also) through my new ftp client (Fetch). It didn't work. I went back to the WAVE file. I hope it works on your computer.

My mother checked the music file at work. It does play, you just have to wait on the homepage for a while in order for it to load. So this project is finally done!

It's been more than a year since I finished this project; I just wanted to mention that a few weeks ago I took down the WAVE file in order to conserve web space.
