Scholarly Life of a Committed Technofile

Ok…I gave in, purchased my own domain name, and paid someone to help me develop a content management system (sorry…time wasn’t there!). So, if you are a follower, or found this and want to follow, I’m now located at: http://www.committedtechnofile.com/
I think I am going to slowing transfer all the posting over. Part of that activity [...]

This past January I had a friend build me my first “home built” desktop. I named her Starbuck, after the hotshot pilot on Battlestar Distractica. Well she has definitely taken after her namesake. She rocks…when she’s on, she’s hot. But she is also one temperamental beaoch. She has been in and out of the shop [...]

Sorry about that folks, Devon just helped me realized that it was demanding that you have an edublogs account to be able to comment. I think I just turned off that feature. I’m hoping I don’t get tons of spam now…!!!

Well thanks Alan (http://cogdogblog.com/2006/12/27/five/)…I guess I’ve been “tagged” with the five things meme (http://pulverblog.pulver.com/archives/006087.html). So, what are five unknown things about me:

Since it was the end of the fiscal year, an administrator scraped up the money and just asked that I make sure to invite others to the event.

I took the initial notes for this blog entry in my notepad on 8/14. Yeah…I’ve been that busy. As you’ll see from my blog postings in the next couple of days, I’ve been up to some good stuff; however, it’s just been time filling.

Ok, so obviously I haven’t been a good little blogger. And now with two weeks before classes start, I need to get myself motivated to kick off the Fall semester with good habits, including regularly blogging. So I have lots of articles to comment on, and just need to be sure to keep myself thinking. [...]
