My Day – July 24, 2008

Got up at around 5am, and I didn’t do much for the first few hours except read email, watch some stuff on YouTube, bookmark some shit in Del.Icio.us and things like that. After a while I ate breakfast, and went back to email. I also read the feedback in my digital photography class from my […]

Different Approach to Ceramics

DSCF6379 Originally uploaded by Curtis M. Kularski I’m playing with texture on some of my new ceramics. It gives a different dimension to the simplest of forms, allowing me to stay with my simple forms, while being more expressive in the clay medium.

2008FA Schedule Presently

I have been wrestling so much with course selection for Fall this time. I don’t know how many times I have made adjustments to the schedule. Today is the last day to file schedule changes for Gaston until "late registration" which is a day before classes start. The schedule currently looks like this: Fall 2008 […]

Rant: Stupidity of Web Users

I can understand the general Internet population not rotating their sideways pictures because it is a fairly hard thing to do… but what about the people who have 3000+ images on Flickr? There is a built-in rotation feature that is very fast and very easy to use on Flickr, but yet many people ignore it. […]

Solution Planned

I think I have the solution to the GITI crisis. 1. GITI will register the special cases in its "fields" table user module field info data value $user education institutional_grade $institution $grade $points   2. Education will follow the new v2 protocol for managing its own fields entries, allowing it to take over inserting records […]

Million Pockets

How many "pocket" devices do you carry? Why is there no single device to take care of all of the needs of "pocket" device users? Cell Phone Personal Digital Assistant MP3 Player Television Remote Digital Book Reader Blood Sugar Tester* Global Positioning System Receiver Compact Digital Camera Garage remote* Digital voice recorder Laser pointer* Handheld […]

Varying Grade Systems

GITI’s education module was written to be very simple, it understands standard letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) as well as a few other concepts (Pass [P], Incomplete [I]), but it doesn’t know how to deal with anything other than whole letters on a 4 point scale. Currently this is hard coded in GITI, […]
