It has just occurred to me that something about the way I handle assignments in GITI is a little off. While the concepts for the assignments are the same as are used in regular classes or even online classes, they do not always truely reflect the work flow and other features of the student’s side […]

GITI has many nice features, including its ability to track file names for assignments and in general be responsible for holding information about the majority of my academic work, but there are some areas where functions that are not directly part of the Education module, but that it relies on, have failed to be developed […]

I feel like I have rewritten the ToDo module so many times, but it probably has only been two of three rewrites. None of my rewrites have been anything useful, or anything I have even really looked at after it was written. There was even one revision that once completely finished, I rolled back to […]

Most things I do in GITI are not that difficult to code, actually, everything I do is very simple code. There is nothing object oriented or even anything more complex than a few simple arrays, it keeps GITI sane to work on to not write it differently (and I’m not sure to what extent PHP […]

Getting It Together Interface… I never get tired of typing it out like that. In the past two days I have been working on GITI, primarily in the education module. I have made almost no progress towards the mobile version, but at the same time, there is no immediate need for it. At this time, […]

Today I started a project I have been meaning to work on for years, a mobile version of GITI. I kept holding out, waiting for myself to learn how to write the application to not be Internet dependant, but for the most part, there is wireless access almost anywhere that I will need GITI. My […]

Since June 2003, when GITI was created, it has been an interface of seriousness and record keeping… last week I decided to deviate from that just a touch. I have added a few games to the interface using some games from Google Gadgets. I’m hoping to write some games of my own to put in […]

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 […]

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, […]
