Becstarr : Combatting the CSS of the slaughter floor

Students let in to Abattoir site after lecture. Still a few items to fix. Finally sat down and read properly through the diff between visibility and display properties in the CSS spec.... I'm occasionally a bit shocked at how long I keep guesstimating these things.

Best thing I did today was make it to Combat! Class was tough but I worked hard and even almost made it through the new jenga hip-hoppish track! Now that's some fancy footwork.

Becstarr: Editing and quizmaking til late late

Big meeting with Rob D for Abattoirs this morning-- we'll open the site to students either this weekend or Monday- exciting! Spent the afternoon making edits and building the quiz we worked out this morning. We're planning pre- and post- placement evals and hopefully a paper out of this, which I'll get my name on! WOO! This would be a first paper for me... so I'm pretty keen to make it happen. :)

Becstarr : Overfocus hocus pocus

Bashed away at the abattoir vids in preparation for the accreditation visit, which starts Sunday. Some grief over mysteriously misbehaving javascripts. Karinne's birthday drinks up at the Courtie were a welcome change of pace-- it's nice to be reminded there are things equally as important as giant killing machinery and studies.

Becstarr : animal welfare & handling in the abattoir, flashed!

Wrangled into Flash video format many animal welfare & handling videos. Wished I actually knew how to work with the Flash stage etc-- something I've been avoiding for some years now (but not much longer, I think!). Looked at my day's work and saw that it was good. Went to the gym, then went home and ate too much chocolate (but it was FairTrade... which somehow makes it better!).
