The software archive is very nearly finished. I have less than ten discs to add. Somewhere in the shuffle, we lost our Authorware 5.1 install disc. So I’m going to get Macromedia on the phone and see if I can convince them to send us a new one. I hope they’ll be cool about it, because I’d like to do some multimedia development and I really dig that program. Our gear is trickling in from the recent purchase requests. Our new Kodak digital camera came in today, as did some Intel PC camera packs. I’m eager for the CD burner and the new desktops.
The Academy page gets put to the test this comming Saturday. Once it’s all functional–right now I’m adding the assignment pages and some form-to-email gateway scripts–I have to put together some training, which I’ll deliver in two sessions this Saturday. (That same day, we’re going to celebrate Gina’s birthday). This is our first bold experiment in distance education. And I’m happy that we’re rolling our own solution. We took a look at WebCT, but found it, like all products that try to take the pain out of web development, clunky, ugly, and hard to use.
A new potential bass student contacted me today. I quoted prices and times. I hope he wants to join up (having good students keeps me sharp). Speaking of which, I need to grab some new strings for my bass (the stores around here charge incredible amounts of money, so I’m going to grab these off the internet).
This is the most gabby and pointless thing I’ve put up in a while. So I’ll cut my losses and end it here…
