blog post for week of 19th of April

Hello good readers. I skipped a class this week. My truancy, though, is highly irregular...like bad Chinese food...stops up the bowels. Anyway...on to more palatable discussions. We watched more presentations this week, and I only failed one quiz. I feel so happy!! Our presentation fell victim to google down-time. Just as the proud Jean Claude visage was to beam brilliantly upon the glowing projection screen, instead there appeared a warning in testimony to the fallacious state of google resources. That's what happens when you put too much trust into 3rd party hosting services. I would have preferred to host the site on our own machine. If I get some more free time, I will play around with configuring such an environment. I wonder if the google appengine can be configured to broadcast from a remote location?

blog for the week of April 12th

Hello fellow bloggers...I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm still failing quizes...I put up a valiant effort on Friday...but to no avail...I fear I may have failed that one as well. I will keep fighting the good fight...hopefully one day I will deliver up to the quiz its comeuppance. We are doing a little supplemental unit for SQL...mySQL specifically. It's been an interesting little digression into the 'language' but I don't think we are going to go into too much depth. Our project has been going well. We have added lots of glitz to improve the presentation for the benefit of our ever eagerly awaiting fans. JCVD is GOD!!!!!!!!

Post for the week of April 5th

This previous week wasn't so bad. I mainly failed quizes and listened to presentations of other groups as they sought to further expound upon what was an as yet unexplored means to construct our common electronic conceit. Two groups decided to make use of the django libraries...we have made significant inroads to a similar effect. While not totally utilizing the libraries, we use the templating utility to enable greater flexibility in our efforts to create an ever more perfect electronic description of our TA matching utility. Our next step is to implement the automated matching function. This task may be harder than it seemed in our first contemplation. It is my wish for swift termination to our labor. While initially interesting, the project seems to have taken on a much(although more manageable due to django templating) scope...this has somehow diminished the nascent luster it exuded when it first began to bud. Perhaps I'm projecting frustration that originates from without the context of the project.

Post for week of 29th March

This was a pretty good week. I had plenty of projects and tests to take care of. We have started presentations for the projects. It seems that two of the groups are building projects that show competence that could only have been obtained by prior knowledge of python/google toolkits. We have been working hard with our project, but I'm not sure if we will ever have as polished of a website as it seems these two groups are capable of constructing. Our group has commited to becoming more adept with the django framework. We are going to meet next week to discuss which aspects of the framework we want to use.
