Fall semester went without much general ITP blogging - I just updated pages for Spring semester classes (linked above).

Fall semester class links, though, are still available:
ICM
Phys Comp
Applications
Comm Lab

I've had two of my classes so far and am looking forward to seeing how things shake out with the wait lists, etc... Tomorrow is the kick-off of the DriveBy and TNO season with an introduction to QuickSilver and Solas.

Into midterms this week and next. So far my time at ITP has been overwhelming and rich. Don't have a lot of time to blog about it, or do anything else really, but it's been wonderful. The learning curve is about the steepest i've experienced. There are things i can do with some fluency now that i had never even heard of a month ago. Of course the biggest problem so fat is that I need another 12 hours in each day. This Friday alone there are three quest speakers.

Back to finding interesting XML feeds for my ICM program. I'm almost starting to understand object orientation.

I have spent a lot of time trying to organize my data and organize myself, just in general. The first week of school was especially busy because I had my [final] presentation for Applications of Interactive Telecommunications - and needed to present it at the second class meeting. With that completed..I have a little more time to focus myself and try to get into the swing of being back in school after quite a long time. Trying to spend this week finding a balance between school and work, family and friends, money and no money, working on the floor and working at home... issues like that. I'm so intensely curious about what everyone else is working on, that i can spend hours looking at ITP student and teacher sites.

So I have completed my first week at ITP - though it feels a bit truncated because i still haven't had Communications Lab (it is on Mondays and last Monday was Labor Day). It feels as if I've embarked on much more than an educational program. This page will be the hub of my work at ITP. There are links tabbed above to each of my classes, and I hope to keep much of my work updated on those links.
