It's almost time

It's almost time till there are some new tech developments for the site. I can't believe grad school basically ends on Friday give or take a paper and some favors. I am so ready to begin the next portion of my life wherever it takes me.

Hopefully I will be teaching at Canisius. Then I will invest a lot of money into this com,unity site and make it much faster, cooler, easy to work with for me.

If not then something really wrong happend, because I am seriously qualified for the position - maybe then I will pursue my Italian citiizenship and go back to botany. I am convinced there is a career for me in vitaculture. I decided I am keeping my new user pic with the tie until I know either way. I am so anxious to find out. When I asked my Chair today how long it would take, I got the idea that at some point in May I would know, but not tomorrow or anything like that.

It has been a long ride since I first rode my bike to the job interview for multimedia specialist four years ago. I feel like I have been through so much in such a short period of time.

On another note, you should always get the house salad at Globe Market on Elmwood and I have a new friend named Cassie, she is pretty fun, although a little wild. I am trying to convince her to start a journal too.

UB recycles

I was over in the art department today to pick up the final radio chip for our project when I saw the. Read the signs and look at what's in the garbage. Could there me anything more paper product based than the phonebook?

Our electronics project finally works.

Cassie and I got our project working last night and then headed over to the Pink for my last Media Studies at the Pink night. Everyone was so drunk to welcome in the end of the semester.

My favorite part was the steak sandwich, for such a nasty little bar they have a really good grilled steak sandwich. We ordered it with onions and peppers, which didn't come. So Cassie complained and we got another one for free. Having two sandwiches made the price more reasonable as they are $9 each. But seriously, it's $9 of tastieness, or mayabe the tastiness arrives from drinking beer beforehand.

In like an hour we are going to go to the space and set up the show. Our project is all about portables so there isn't much set up, but cleaning up the dungeon will be a pain. It is in the basement of the factory at the corner of Auburn and Niagara St. 20 Auburn.

Happy Cinqo di Mayo. I will probably be out with everyone tonight after work, as long as, the project is totally ready to go.

Interview Part 2

I am writing this from the new Linux server I installed in my office. Soon students will be able to use it for production work. I had my final interview with the Dean today. It seemed to go quite well. I really hope that it all works out with this job, I have never been more excited about anything in my life.

Tablet PC

So my Fujitsu Stylistic 3500 came in the mail yesterday. I love it and don't love it. I love it because it's a tablet PC and its way more fun to navigte the OS with a pen. It's form factor is also great. But no ethernet, win 98, no wireless, no keyboard kind of sucks. I tried to upgrade the OS to WIN XP but I couldn't type in the serial with the handwriting software, which I can't get without going on the internet. It's like a vicious circle. I have to play with it some more.

I did, however, make me realize that I do want a very modern tablet PC as my next laptop. Here is a sketch made of the statue of liberty in GIMP. The pen is not pressure sensitive without the driver which I can't get without the internet.

Sleeping?

I should be sleeping but instead I am proofreading my presentation. I think it has the potential of being the best ever, as long as the whole computer projector connection holds up. They have me teaching in a room that does not have the software I am teaching, so I am stuck with resorting to teaching from my laptop. It is very non-hands-on, which is awkward for DMA, but it has to be done. Yay for Tuesday, I take back what I said last week.

I'll keep you all posted after it happens.
