Based on my Chocolate Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from last year. Bread flour was what I had out. The "zest of one small orange" was actually from a satsuma I had on hand. The wet mixture was divine by itself, in my opinion. Final cookie isn't very sweet - probably not for the kiddies ( Read more... )

At this point, I have no idea where the underlying recipe came from, but I've changed it enough that I'll take credit ( Read more... )

After the normal disclaimer forms, the researcher gave me a questionnaire that involved my use of other typing-based device ( Read more... )

Today I dropped "Marketing Foundations for Information Professionals" and enrolled in "Information Structure using XML" instead. It's more technical, and it's definitely more marketable when one considers the sorts of jobs I'm likely to get in the next year ( Read more... )

The class for which I am registered doesn't seem to have enough Information Management in it. Tomorrow morning I am going to contact my department about changing classes.

It looks like there's an XML course on Wednesday nights that might be good for me. I'm not sure how it works with my graduation requirements, though. Time to talk to my adviser.

Last semester's Information Retrieval Systems class ended in a 3.8/4.0 grade. I guess that's an A. Not a 4.0, though - I must not have really applied myself ( Read more... )
