28 July 2010

What's the last thing you copied to your clipboard? (Do they call it a clipboard on the Mac?) Don't stop and think, just paste it and post it. Here's mine:

Thanks so much for offering to help with the evaluation project for XXXXXX, the Native American exhibit planned for 2012. I am now making the schedule and am hoping you're still interested.

I'm writing today to get your schedule preferences for the 5 evaluation shifts. You can pick any 5 days between August 12 and September 6 (weekends included).

The shifts are 3 hours each and there are 2 each day. The first shift is 11-2 and the second is 1-4. P

Right now, all shifts are open EXCEPT for

11AM -2 PM on August 17, 20, 24, 27, 28 and 29 and September 3
1-4 PM on August 13, 20, and 25

Please have a look at your calendar and let me know which 5 shifts you would most like to take! I will share the calendar back with you as soon as all the dates are filled, but wanted to give docents the chance to pick first since your schedules are often the most varied.

The training is scheduled for Tuesday, August 10, from 1-4, and is necessary for all the interviewers to attend.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and see you on August 10 if not before!

Mine was empty. Which is completely freaky. How can that even be? And no, this isn't what was in there, but I did copy it so now there is something. Ah, so long fresh start!

melon & mint
agua fresca
(non-alcoholic)

fresh melon puree brightened with mint and lightly carbonated.

try it alone, mixed with fizzy lemonade or club soda, or with a jolt of tequila, rum, or vodka.

Based on the descriptions provided and the unit titles, it is clear that the above units are wholly knowledge-based and need to be either re-purposed to include requirements for assessment of skills, or changed to modules (requires prior approval from AVP).

I found all kinds of interesting information by hitting command-x or ctrl-x on the computers in the postgraduate lab at uni. Student assessments, letters of various kinds, snippets of research papers - and I think that doing this was how I found out that someone was apparently doing a lot of research related to glory holes. (I chose to assume it was research, anyway, so that I could go on using the lab.)

Ah, bugger. Make that command/ctrl-v. Stupid end-of-day brain.

The Remote Method Invocation (RMI) set of APIs allows developers to build distributed applications in the Java environment. RMI-IIOP is an implementation of the RMI API over the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). This implementation permits developers to write remote interfaces in Java. The remote interface can be converted to the Interface Definition Language (IDL) and then can be implemented in any other language that supports Object Management Group (OMG) protocols and includes an Object Request Broker (ORB) library. Thus RMI-IIOP provides interoperability with CORBA objects implemented in any language.

Another fun thing on a public computer is to go into the URL bar and just enter a letter at a time, and see what the autocomplete choices are.
