Today was fun, I planned to go to Gaston College to pick up my diploma from fall and to go see Mr. Biggers’ new show. I ended up doing a lot more. First, stopped in to pick up my diploma. After looking at my ID, the kind gentleman in the registrar’s office dashed over to […]
I should really learn to be more careful with how I handle due dates for things. Last night I was in a panic, trying to get my Cognitive Psychology paper done before midnight Sunday (Fed. 8th). The due date in GITI became the 8th because it was originally set for the 5th because of the […]
ok, the title sounds bad, but it really is not about my instructors, its about my instructor objects. Today I have been working on moving some things around and creating a bond between the AddressBook and Education modules.

I am used to registering or planning courses at an institution and having a working knowledge of the course numbers and being […]
Google recently released a new “Task List” feature for their mobile customers. It is a very nice feature, better than anything I have written for GITI, but it does not easily snap into my existing application without special API coding. My complaint with Google on this is very simple, the way in which they promote […]
It has been a while since any new screen shots of GITI’s Education module were released, so here is a quick look at some of the newer functionality. A new menu guides the user into a never before seen world of managing their academic life. The same old class management page has gotten a […]
