Busy busy busy and new sites!
Well…I don’t have a lot of time to pour into this post unfortunately, but I have just enough time to mention that I’m still plowing through my capstone proposal so I can finally start working on my final project for my masters degree.
You can get a glance at my work on the proposal here –> http://capstone.geoffreyanderson.net/
As for the other site, I finally got my partner to start designing a better portfolio site for her work. We set up a basic sub-domain for her here –> http://cullenillustration.geoffreyanderson.net/
Check out her stuff, pretty good art!
Back to the grind
Well, back to working crazy hours this week to make up for my short excursion in Pittsburgh (I’m hoping to write about this at a later date!). So, working 40 hours in 3 days is a little exhausting, but it’s pretty nice to have a dedicated amount of time to concentrate on work stuff.
Presently, I just finished annotating some content for the DBMS Fundamentals class (which I’ll go back and flesh out more at some point!). Now I’ve moved to preparing a wiki for a class in the Fall quarter, and I’m really excited that the professor of the course was receptive to trying this new approach (using a wiki!) for the class. I’m still grappling with the best way to organize some of the information, but as of now, I’m preparing the wiki to help introduce students to wiki’ing and using collaborative tools like Etherpad and *crosses fingers* IRC.
Anyway, I should get back to work, so I’ll just leave this here for now!
Memorial Day
Since I wasn’t able to work on memorial day yesterday, I decided that I had a good enough excuse to go see one of the memorial day parades. After a little hunting, Charlotte and I settled on going to the Pittsford parade (and I was thinking of grabbing a bite to eat during it!).
So we drove down Jefferson road into Pittsford only to find that the road towards Main street in Pittsford was already blocked. Thankfully, my GPS figured out how to negotiate us towards the parade route after I took the first turn by the road block. Since we showed up at the start time of the parade, we got stuck watching it from the car in a side street, but that’s okay!
Anyway, when the parade was over, I wanted to show Charlotte Aladdin’s Natural Eatery down by the canal. If you haven’t been there before, go! The food’s delicious, healthy, and most important, cheap! So, after some perusing of the menu, I ended up getting a Falafel pocket pita thing and Charlotte got some amazing wrap with lamb (yum!). While we waited though, I snapped two quick photos of the canal with my phone:

It was pretty to look at over lunch. As mentioned earlier, if you haven’t been to Aladdin’s Natural Eatery, check it out (http://www.aladdinsonline.com/)!
Hello world!
This is my first blog post! Hopefully I’ll start getting some interesting things going here
