Had actual success at doing some work without straying, so I’ve got the first five powerpoints done (of 17, though.) Will be singing at Mass tonight, then heading out to the Esquire for the Duke of Uke and his Novelty Orchestra, which unfortunately for *me* seems to be a popular New Year’s Eve venue. I’ll […]

So I tried to get back to FreeCodeCamp adn it logged me in as Moo2UFoodie. Amusing because my father, in high school, was part of a faux fraternity called “Mu Eta Pi” and their greetng was “Moo!” “Moo To You, Too!” Mostly I’m doing the holiday pinball bounce around with all the things that “hey!

Okay, to review what we learned today in GIMP. No, it’s not a tutorial — just a review… To make a circle, click on the “select an oval” and make one with shift down so it’s a circle. Then “fill” that circle. Then make the canvas and everything shrink down around it, and export it […]

http://dyslexia.yale.edu/Edu_countingcomparing.html Found this when searching for stuff about the counting icons used by Christopher Woodin. I just ordered his book about teaching multiplication facts to whole-to-part / visual learners. I also stumbled upon lots of information and material from his courses in teaching this way. I hope that I will remember to include […]

Welp, it’s becoming painfully clear that no, GIMP is not intuitive (not to me, anyway). If I’m going to be able to use it — and for what I want, it **should** be ample — it seems I’ll have to wade through a mess of tutorials to get to the four or five thigns […]

Okay, Okay, I should dive deeper into D2L — but I watched a mess of videos and it’s 4:00 and Khan Academy came up in several assorted conversations, not initiated by me, today. I was inspired to share the “shipping beats perfection” motto per their employee recruitment, which meant I ended up reading more, including […]

I often struggle with puzzles… not this one. https://twitter.com/davidwees/status/544490638948196352/photo/1 Four digit number : k h t u (why those letters? ;)) Product of digits is not 0. (Fast conclusion: no digits zero.) tu = h — very limited possibilities; product still has to be 9 or fewer but… that doesnt’ get […]

whereas it seems that yesterday’s navigation of self and correct clothes to the concert meant that not all the music made it… and seems flash drive with all the cool stuff is still at work. … also going to “really try this time!” to cut back on timesucks. http://getbuttonedup.com/2010/02/17/tool-free-printable-daily-schedule-form/ This little guy is kinda handy […]

So it’s almost noon and I got the “arithmetic game” from tuts plus to work nicely. It’s got exactly some of the elements I want in my app… next job, translate — but “morning – app, afternoon – cobra/camtasia” is my motto this next week of very-few-students. (Also duly noting that I’m utterly cranky: […]

Practice, eh? Yesterday a non-regular student was working on a paper and was impressed with the way I could make little rephrasing or rewording suggestions. I informed him that had he not been a good enough writer, I would not have been able to understand his intent. I realize that it would behoove me to […]
