Sub Ubi

Not a lot coming out of the Pete Depasquale corner of the world lately. I’m

assuming he’s a bit beat down supporting software, collecting data, and generally

not sleeping much. Writing real software for use by real users in a real,

who-knows-what-will-happen environment is not a task to be undertaken lightly.

I’m not fully into a grove, but I’m getting there. We’ve ordered ViaVoice for OSX,

and I’ll begin data transcription next week (I hope). I’ve pulled apart the paper

that Brooke and I wrote before I left, and we’re in the process now of looking at

how we can take half of what we talked about and turn it into an ITiCSE

submission. The material is there, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

A number of other things are up, I suppose. If anyone has any thoughts where I

can publish a paper regarding false advertising in mobile phone carriers,

and an accompanying Monte Carlo simulation of mobile phone usage, please let

me know.

Anyone care to drop a note to cs-ed.org and post an update?

PS - I have some stuff for managing links in the resources section,

if anyone is interested.
