Salt Peanuts Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 It didn't get approved. It was a figment of everyone else's imagination. You'd better take it home before people see it and get confused...... I wish - hopefully, I'll get to enjoy it with some of the students as I've always wanted one.

Dreadhead Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Fought with my fucking drobo. I usually leave my computer asleep and just wake it up when I want to do something. So I wake it up and starte Windows Media Player (don't start) to sync some new cd's to my media player and the fucking drobo doesn't wake up and refuses to respond and shows that the directories are empty. WMP then starts removing the "lost" media and all hell breaks loose, luckily I was looking at the screen and had not walked off. I then try and wake up drobo by unplugging the USB then it comes back asking to be formatted (WTF!!!!) anyway after powering both computer and drobo down entirely everything is back and no data loss. This fucking drobo gives me a heart attack every couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just unpacked bunch of educational science equipment for work/school we purchased through a grant. Much to my surprise, included in the first batch of stuff was a Lego Mindstorm - I really didn't think the item would get approved. We used one of these in an engineering class, and the system was pretty cool. Unfortunately, the project was one which would have been much easier to do with discrete logic.

Grahame Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Or Better Yet, this years class, which is more descriptive, yet somehow less fun http://www.mofo.com/events/seminars/files/14846.html As an aside, Do Morrison & Foerster associates get to put "I'm a MoFo'" on their Business Cards Bone? or Eggshell with Romalian Type?

Morrison & Foerster : Events : Seminar : MCLE Workshop (San Francisco Presentation) 1/12/05 Is the 8:30 Slot a practical? Nice translation, but what does "a practical" mean? If you mean is it practical, then yes, I am [almost] always in the office by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant whether or not you'll be actively participating (as in a lab practical) in the stated topic for 8.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean is it practical, then yes, I am [almost] always in the office by then. Practical as opposed to Theoretical (test or exam). E.g. Chemistry Practical (exam), where you have to actually do things, rather than just writing them down. Is there US equivalent terminology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think some people use that terminology. I have also heard "practicum" used on occasion. But given that part of the day is concerned with avoidance of alcohol and substance abuse, do you really think that could be more than theoretical in my case?

That's how we used it, at least as bio/biochem students in college. I generally enjoyed them (lab practical), though I was a rather bad student.

Fitz Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Got a package from digikey and replaced a few more blown parts in my fileserver's power supply, finally tracing the problem to the buck controller IC for the 5V rail. Good thing I ordered some replacements from ON semi just in case... maybe in a couple days I'll actually have it back up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I also realized today that there is no question that my arms are covered in poison oak rash. I worked on a creek restoration project at my son's school and in the process of removing invasive species like blackberry my arms got scratched up. There must have been a good amount of poison oak where I was working. Damn I hate poison oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
