I can't help but wonder if any of the students at Miriam's final exam arrived high, given that it's 4/20.

The class is huge, so the exam is held in a gym along with another section, and so there were about 300 people there. There may be a more appropriate way to ask about accommodations than Miriam found, but the person she talked to about having a ( Read more... )

Time to stop obsessing over my XML editor refusing to do autocomplete for me and instead start actually working on the PREMIS file.

For my digital preservation class, I'm determining a bunch of info about files with no format extensions. I just got distracted by reading about the history of one of them, Harvard Graphics Show format. This software is so old that the publisher was just called "Software Publishing Corporation."

It seems fairly likely, as of today, that the pain I've been dealing with for the past three days has been an ear infection. I managed to get necessary school stuff done yesterday, but today I've just been lying in bed all day, mostly failing to find ways to get comfortable, and watching Youtube videos.
