Ah-ha-ha-ha! The big projects are done.
Apr. 12th, 2006 01:00 amSo, it's all done. No more presentations. Just one assignment tomorrow, which is going to be a bit more of a nuisance than usual, I think, considering the amount of concepts I have to consider, as well as the depth of the actual assignment. But, on the plus side, no exams until the 21st, and after this assignment is done, no more assignments, either. Hopefully, the presentation grades come back good for me. It's a conglomeration between the instructors' opinions of me and the class's opinions of me. So I hope that I don't get reamed by either. I don't think I made too many "erm"s and "uh"s. Instead, I tend to cough to clear my throat when nervous. And possibly repeat myself and flutter a bit with gestures. And I was sweating pretty hard up there, for something that doesn't really matter that much. I must need a very good editing and coaching staff if I'm ever going to give presentations, I guess. Hopefully the report impacts the final project grade favorably.
Time for another side-by-side comparison. This is how we demonstrate the schizophrenia of public opinion. (Is that the right diagnosis? I'm not entirely sure, since I've heard that term bandied about considerably by a lot of people, which may take it to mean many different things.) Anyway, on the left, mixed but generally negative reactions to a student being expelled from a Baptist university. because he came out to being gay. On the right (and I now realize what sort of horrible pun I'm making), a student suing her university for the right to express negative opinions of gays without punishment. You make the call on any comparisons.
In the beginning, there was the Command Line... A piece about one person's journey through the evolution of the machines that we know and love, and the operating systems that make them tick, tock, and set up us the bomb. It's a very interesting read - a bit longish, but very cool for those who have an interest in seeing how things can come to pass in the computer world, and who you may need to thank or throttle for things turning out the way they did.
Okay, bedtime now. Have forms to file tomorrow, an assignment to complete, and more refereeing.
