- “The Center for School Improvement at the University of Chicago will offer Tablet PC compatible STEPtool, software that guides day-to-day work in school classrooms. Literacy coordinators (note the new title) and principals can trace and analyze learning patterns of individual students and aggregates across the classroom. They will use Tablet PCs (instead of paper and pencils) in the near future to administer the STEP Literacy Assessment. Data will then enter directly into the assessment tool, so teachers can promptly make strategic instruction decisions based these data.” (Source: |

State parole officers are finding it simpler to keep records of interviews with Georgia’s 22,000 parolees, because they can now jot notes into a Gateway Inc.

- A few months ago, I added a second monitor on my PC workstation and I grew to love it. I could keep development applications on the larger screen, and keep email and IM on the other. It was more organized and I could work more efficiently, sliding from one monitor to the other as needed. More recently, I've added my powerbook to my desk, and thanks to various specialized applications, I'm using that as well, but with three monitors spanning two operating systems, I'm finding it cumbersome to jump from one machine to the other regularly. For a solution, I've been looking into KVM switches like this one. |

New virus? (Aug 20 2003 06:55 GMT) - I wonder if a new variant of the blaster worm is out that builds on the older outlook email viruses. I probably get a pointless email once every couple days with a virus attached, but today I've gotten about three dozen, and worse yet, I've gotten 3 bounces from people that got virus-laden messages with my return address. update: ah, I'm getting pummeled with the sobig virus, three four five more in the minutes since I wrote this entry. [thanks andy] Anyone know how to write a server-side procmail script to delete any incoming messages with attachments that end in . |

- In December of 1999, I sold my car from a page on my website, taking out online ads in the appropriate places and mentioning the URL. The funny thing is I get a steady stream of emails asking if it is still for sale. If you check out the pages, I think it's pretty obvious it was in fact sold, but still once a week or so I get a request for it. I don't know what that says about online readers or what it proves, but it still boggles my mind when I get one of those emails. |
