  • Rippled Like the Beach

    Rippled Like the Beach The clouds and sky are among the things I photograph most. I love the way they look. Yet, identification (which cloud fits which categorization) eludes me. That’s okay… I’m not good at identification for anything I like animals, plants, gadgets, people (except maybe movies).

  • Recovering Pictures

    William borrowed my camera to go on his honeymoon. He also lost the photos with a poorly timed crash & drive reformat. So he wants to borrow the card and recover the data. Thankfully I have not used the camera since he returned it despite thinking I should. Luckily I ran across A Computer Repair…

  • Information Should Be Free

    Internet, University

    Mark Guzdial makes the point teachers add value to the learning process. Normally, I would agree. However, I got hung up on a misquote from a Walter Isaacson article How to Save Your Newspaper in TIME offering micropayments as the solution to newspapers finding a working model to survive since advertisements are not the right one. Mark said it…

    from LiveJournal, Personal / Relationships

    My beef with Valentine’s Day really has to do with not having a significant other. So it does a really good job of pointing out that I am indeed quite lonely. That doesn’t make me hate it. Instead it makes me frustrated… Mainly with myself.

Prior to working in IT, I was always an INFP. Then I started getting INTP and lately INTJ. So the ISTP is a little odd to me. INTJ –…

  • Blackboard Learn Password Changes

    Blackboard Vista

    Normally when presenting the opportunity to change a password, a user is required to provide the current password in addition to the new. It ensures the one changing the password already knows the password.  According to Olaf Ritman, Blackboard Academic Suite 6, 7, 8 and Learn 9 ignore asking for the current password. Can anyone with…

  • Cross-Seeding the Clouds

    February 7, 2009
    Internet

    There is a good post on backing up a PLE or really anything created in the cloud. The danger of working in the cloud is the site disappearing like Ma.gnolia recently. When the data is important, such as for teaching a class, this is huge. So the advice to have additional copies elsewhere is good. Is it the…
