Where In The World Is Sum1?

Working? From home

Locale: Bloomington, Illinois

Week of: 9/4/2023

         I've  spent the week of 9/4 here at home.  Well, it's a holiday week, we don't normally deliver classes those weeks, which explains why I get to be home. 

         It's been a nice week of relaxation for me.  I did get some work done, but I worked when I wanted to essentially.  I managed to get a Powerpoint slideshow formatted in the fashion I prefer.  I didn't change the slide contents at all, I only increased the font size in some areas and arranged the contents to look a bit better when presenting it.  We'll see how it goes.

         My 'big' project though was purchasing some inexpensive USB drives for one class I deliver.  The reason I did this is it's a class I will deliver more than most other classes.  I needed larger (32 GB, which is not large by today's standards) to hold  the course contents, plus the drive could be no larger than 32 GB (and formatted in either FAT32 or FAT ) for use in class.  Those drives will be used to complete one portion of a router hands-on activity.  You might ask why don't we have the students bring their own drives to class?  There's a simple answer to that.  Because they will forget most likely, or will format the drive using NTFS, which will not work.  I like to come to a class prepared for everything I can think of.  This is one minor thing in my opinion.

         I think that's about it for now.  Until my next post, be good to those you love, spoil them, and write!
