June, already?
I feel comfortable enough with the web fiascos to continue blogging away. Essentially, the couple of weeks off was due to my consolidating servers on a new server… now:
davidnunez.com
davidnunez.net
davidnunez.org
should all point to the exact same place (or will, hopefully, soon (DNS propagation is slow and unpredicable, I’ve learned)). Thanks go to Adam for suggesting dr2.net as a hosting provider… DIRT CHEAP and very, very flexible… should allow for some more interesting experimentation.
I know it’s probably arrogant and obnoxious to write about how busy I am (I guess being a narcisist is the bane of web writing for anyone, anyway), but, the next week or two are filled with an enormity of activity and an unusual level of Events… “Events” I can take once in a while (they cause all-nighters, etc), but this is almost ridiculous.
School ended for most districts around central texas. Despite this, I still find myself struggling to keep up with the work work. Next Monday-Tuesday, I’m helping to organize a workshop for 11 or so Computer Science and Multimedia teachers. They will be learning about video games development. It’s an exciting opportunity for them and we’ve got a group of smart people working out the content. However, we’ve a TON of stuff to pull together. Looks like I’ll be working this weekend.
Next Wednesday morning, I’ve arranged a panel of speakers to talk to some new IT teachers teaching a HS Freshmen Intro to IT survey course. I need to monitor that engagement.
At lunchtime, I’ll work my way up to Dallas (looks like I’ll be driving… unless SWA can work a miracle in the pricing). I’ll be with Erick at the Peter Gabriel concert up in Dallas (hopefully with a nice-slab-o-steak dinner beforehand… as is our tradition).
Next Thursday-Friday, I will then travel to San Antonio to be at Usenix manning the EFF-A booth. I’ve volunteered to coordinate that road show, but my “coordination” hasn’t been that proactive. I think I have enough Stuff (I even managed to score one of those fancy-shmancy backdrops (with lighting, and everything))… I just need volunteers.
I’ve double booked myself those two days, however… There is a Tech Prep conference on Thursday of which some of the folks from the IT cluster will participate in a panel. Their panel is in the afternoon, so my half-baked proposal is to drive down to SA in the morning on Thursday, set up the booth with a volunteer, and then head back to Austin for the conference. On Friday, I’m supposed to be on a couple of site tours with some teachers… but I think I’ll skip out on that to be back at Usenix.
Finally, the following week (wed-tue), I will be in Omaha for our annual reunion.
