Well after all that I just heard the startup chime and I think it was a postive outcome for the computer surgery.

While in the middle of updating the site and working on some wirefusion stuff for my class, my brother stopped by in need of a hard drive upgrade for his iBook 500 mHz. It came with a 10.0 GB drive but he needs more space for a movie he is working on. I decided to give him my old drive figuring it was a snap to replace. Well, it took about 4 hours so far and the drive looks like - well like this picture



So here we are with his computer completely taken apart.

I spent a lot of time working on the code this weekend. There are lots more features. You can now upload images to our server. The page then gives you the address of the image and the code you would need to display an image in your journal entry. It also gives you a thumbnail and a way to delete the images stored in your directory.

Now you can also stay logged in thanks to cookies when you are updating your journal and you switch to view your journal. There will be many more features in the next month. Hope you enjoy.

I discovered that my tongue is bigger than anyone at my house right now. . . I hope that counts for something!!

For once I am truly disapointed in my students. Not the intro level ones either. Its my advanced class. I am so upset at the lack of effort my advance students give. They are seriously not trying and I am not sure why. Maybe they are overwhelmed by the possibilities of 3D design. However, I think that they are just unorganized. Some of them have projects that are really well thought out and well designed. For example, this one guy modeled an original iron toy train and another made an airplane that is a replica of a biplane - a couple other nice ones too. As for the others, I am especially sick of people coming to class without their homework and expecting that I do it for them or worse yet tryoing to do it in class while I explain something new, they will never get jobs once they graduate.

You may ask why am I writing this. Well, I got this offer for my students to create some 3D web presentations for the Wirefusion site. I think this is a pretty big honor and yet I am kinda of nervous accepting with the kind of crap some people are handing in.
