No, I'm not moving, but the blog is, to my web site Art of the Firebird. The entries from here will be moved over as time permits, but if you want to read the new stuff, visit me there.

Not much going on. My class is working on labs. Some of them actually seem to be on track with their work, thank goodness ( Read more... )

Looks like some of my comments in my December entry offended. I've been kicked out of one of the Yahoo! groups, ostensibly for failing to complete a swap by the end of January, but I suspect that was not the REAL reason. Oh, gosh, I think I'm supposed to be all upset and heartbroken. Let's see, hmmmmm......nope!! Her group, her right! Plus she ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm frustrated. About what, you ask? Work? No, work's no worse than usual and in fact better than some semesters, especially since I'm running the state BOR CS dog-and-pony show on Thursday and Friday. At least there I get to hang with a couple of friends for a bit ( Read more... )

Yesterday Cindy and I trekked across the north side of Hotlanta to the wilds of Gwinnett County today to help boost the local economy :-D. After we finally found each other at the Barnes & Noble in Alpharetta (we agreed to meet there, but not WHERE to meet there...oops!) we took the back way through Duluth to Discover Mills. First stop was the ( Read more... )

Hooray, I finished up and mailed Ann-Marie's book today. I had to struggle to get my two spreads photographed and to glue down the stuff on my second spread thanks to Lorraine's crappy work. Then I got to struggle to get the book into its box and packed properly :-(. I hope that if anything gets crushed, it's Lorraine's spread, but I fear not ( Read more... )

When one of my students was talking to me this afternoon, she told me about a conversation she'd had recently with another former student. Both of them are computer science majors, and both have had me for classes.  Anne said that Angie had told her that if she didn't want to work so hard in the second programming course, she should take it with ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't meet my ArtByTheInch goal, not by quite a bit.  I was still almost 400 inches short as of last night.  I really think that if my computer hadn't crashed, I'd have made it.  But noooo, I lost almost two weeks getting it rebuilt and reinstalling all my software ( Read more... )

So yesterday I was contemplating the list of things for which I am thankful:

1. I'm thankful for my husband. What a change from my "starter marriage." 'Nuf said.
2. I'm thankful for my son...and for the fact that he doesn't live with me anymore, even if it is a bit nerve-wracking having him out on his own...
3. I'm thankful for my cats, and the grandcat ( Read more... )

Yet another nasty sucky gray dreary drippy disgusting day.  This makes, what, five in a row?  Eewwwww.  Even my hair doesn't like this. It doesn't know whether to go limp or curly.  The only saving grace is that it could be 20 degrees colder (OTOH if it was THIRTY degrees colder I wouldn't be here because we'd be iced in ( Read more... )
