This is what “50 Shades of Grey” has lead to. Yeesh.
Student disciplined for improving campus course-selection system
Timothy Arnold, a student at the University of Central Florida, produced a app called U Could Finish that automated the process of hunting for vacancies in popular courses. After the app was the subject of a popular Reddit post, the administration at UCF punished Arnold for doing this, on the grounds that it had overloaded their servers. As a persuasive presentation from Arnold and friends documents, this claim is not very plausible. Nevertheless, the project has been terminated and Arnold faces three semesters of academic probation, a paper in which Arnold must explain why what he did was naughty and why the system’s administrators are good people, and a coaching session on making good life sessions.
Hey, I know what will inspire college students to make clever and helpful things! Let’s punish them for making clever and helpful things!
YEAH! HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE WIN!
…sigh. Fuckin’ Florida.

Trying to draw my face, but I can’t do it, not even when I have a photograph of me staring back as a reference. I should line and scan in the pencil sketch tomorrow so everyone can see how horrible I am ;_;
Also I need a scanner. And a new portable hard drive. Golds plox

The Tweets That Telus Tanked - 2009-03-17 Edition
Here’s the tweets I sent from my phone, but were never passed through to Twitter, for March 17, 2009:
- 2009-03-17 18:35 EDT:
- I got to use the word “craic” in Table Topics, because I’m awesome like that. :)
- 2009-03-17 19:29 EDT:
- Feeling more than a bit emotional; my last meeting as part of Toronto Go-Getters ended with a short speech thanking everyone.
- 2009-03-17 19:54 EDT:
- Note to self: is a delegation chain any different than a breakable stack?
- 2009-03-17 20:32 EDT:
- I might have to throw away most of my task-related code to reflect new, better model. I am not agile enough.
