Mounting the CD onto the other computer and sharing it over the network.

watch du -h is amazingly useful. It lets you easily monitor a large filesystem copy.

I just realized that the whole point of the system I'm making is peer review. Not another submission system, but peer review and how I'm going to use it in class. I am somewhat peeved with myself.

So, the components I need to focus on are:

- defining the review graph - requiring everyone to post a URL to their work - requiring everyone to submit a review of their buddies

Put off CS215 while new ideas simmer on the back burner.

Apparently, it's stalling on the Installshield Wizard. Do I have to subscribe to winex for this? Hmm...

To support peer review and self evaluation, actually, I need a general way to do surveys and evaluations using pre-defined rubrics.

Can't help but blog this - it's just so cool.

A pair of people - one singing a jazzy version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" accompanied by another who did the drums with his voice. Another - a larger group - this time, including cymbals and disc scratching. Way fun. Apparently, this is called beat boxing. They can carry the beat while humming the rest of the tune and sneaking a lot of the words in too. Wow. No more drum sets. They even did fast forward, play and reverse. Hmm. Element No. 5. And one of them did a one man band too!

Also, nice poetry. I like the way they play with sounds.

I was going through my old wiki entries and I found a link to http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PyMacs on 2003.03.21. Cool.

I should look that link up again in preparation for SMIT-Ed. I find that I may actually be helpful...

Mario Carreon is planning to transfer to UP Baguio to help his sister. I'll miss exchanging ideas with him over dinner. I'm sure he'll do well there. =)

Next time, I should buy those large alphabet blocks. I can use them for a lot of examples: arrays, vectors, shuffling, searching, sorting...
