Why the Opposition to Year-Month-Day
When naming files, I would make a file with today’s time stamp 20080304. My brain was confused for a second when it saw 13012008. There are not thirteen months! Oh….
I have to use ls -latr to get the list in chronological order instead of just ls.
Month-day-year I can understand (old habits die hard). Any know a reason for day-month-year?

More Spiking CPU Over Assignments
More on concerns with editAssignmentSubmission.dowebct on Blackboard Vista nodes.
Found an error in the exceptions logs tied to one of the transactions:
Error occurred maintaining selective release status-Learning Object Id
It gets better…. The assignment in question? Not using selective release. Yeah. There is an error for an assessment. Hopefully it is just the assignments logic which causes hell on the nodes (database server seems unaffected). Well, the students are also affected as this seems to be the last thing they do in the session.
That selective release displays errors in the logic is quite awesome. I didn’t know the UI did this. However, to see it, I had to expand the right organizer page. Better usability would be to highlight all the errors to the designer. Heck, if there are errors, then it ought to be disabled. If the logic is known not to work, then why allow it to be active? You know… It might spin out of control. *headdesk*
