Missing Camera

Last week, some time after Tuesday, Sept 25, my personal camera went missing from my room, 153.
In my experience, having lost items in the past from my technology labs, the item usually appears later and was not actually "stolen."
In any case, I would really be happy to be re-united with my camera.
It went with me to Europe this last summer, and we were very close.
It is a Canon Powershot 630, a small silver camera (about the size of a tin of Altoids or pack of cigarettes). It has a small dent in the front about the size of a finger nail. It answers to the name Zippy.
I will gladly pay $40 to anyone for the return of the camera, or information that leads to its discovery.

Thank you

Jobs

I need to see a document that details the job assignments, and the logs for each position. The only logs that cannot be electronic are inspection logs.
Finish this by beginning of class Monday, October 1st, 2007.
Ultimately this is the responsiblity of the documentation manager, but each position needs to ensure that their jobs are done. It is not the job of the documentation manager, but he must ensure it gets done.

The TEKS

Copy the TEKS from the TEA website, and break them down in a table in Google Docs. Write your interpretation of each item and when you think that it means.
If you don't know a term, you should search for the appropriate meaning.

The example document for your creation of the TEKS interpretation is on the shared drive in my folder in CApps.
The example document is a pdf - which means you cannot edit it, but can view it as an example.

Due October 4th, 2007.

Blog Lists

A file that you can import into your reader is on the McCallum shared drive in students-Bjerke-CApps.

Today's assignment is to read three blog posts and comment on them in your blog in separate posts. You should refer to the proper link in your post. This means that you need to open the link to the post in a new tab from your Google Reader.

Reader Lists

I know, I know, it's messy. It would have been better to export the xml file and share it with you, but this is more fun.
Start by just copying the shortest URL (address) you can, like core77.com.
