@alistaircalder Sorry, page 23. in reply to alistaircalder #
Counting down to #eduweb conference in Chicago, followed by 3+ weeks vacation. Still an awful lot to do around here… #highered #work #fb #
Even after you've successfully waited at #timhortons you're waiting has only begun. Y'all know what I'm talkin' about. #bcit #fb #
Man, I fucking HATE it when I misuse your/you're. Which is why I often resort to using "yer". #formerenglishmajor #grammarnerd #fb #
@geoffgauthier Be my guest! in reply to geoffgauthier #
@jameswanless I got that one hammered into me in high school. I don't dare misuse them now. in reply to jameswanless #
@jameswanless Although apparently I don't have any problem mixing plural and singular references in the same sentence. GRRRRRR. in reply to jameswanless #
Why do we give our programs such looooooong names? Are we afraid people won't read further if the title doesn't include everything covered? #
And while I'm at it, 'definitely' doesn't have an 'a' in it. #fb #
@Guttersniped Total n00b? Or do you have some exp? I teach this: http://bit.ly/bw6uMO which can lead to this: http://bit.ly/9KErB6 #bcit #
@hallowed_ground Which infosession were you at? Some of us know what HTML5 is; some of us have staff who are using it… #bcit in reply to hallowed_ground #
@Guttersniped My course assumes no exp, but you publish a full website from scratch in 12 wks. DM if you want more details. in reply to Guttersniped #
@hallowed_ground (1/3) Lots of dif reasons. We try to develop for industry demand; HTML5 still new enough to be "bleeding edge" skills" in reply to hallowed_ground #
@hallowed_ground (2/2) Curriculum planning and dev involves several people and processes (for new courses & progs); costs are such that… in reply to hallowed_ground #
@hallowed_ground (3/3) we need to be sure there's enough interest. Much stuff gets rolled into existing curriculum. (Sorry, 1 more to come) in reply to hallowed_ground #
@hallowed_ground Been teaching 12 yrs, since HTML 3.2. HTML5 will work it's way in first as preview, then eventualcourse standard. in reply to hallowed_ground #
@hallowed_ground …assuming it doesn't go the way of XHTML2 etc. We need to watch where standards go, not jump gun. in reply to hallowed_ground #
@Guttersniped Now following. in reply to Guttersniped #
@hallowed_ground Glad I could help. Let me know if you have further questions; will do my best to find answers! in reply to hallowed_ground #

@lanejoplin That's what I thought of when I read "ZIP drive" in your tweet! in reply to lanejoplin #
@stephaniehobson *sigh* I know. in reply to stephaniehobson #
@stephaniehobson I agree. Wasn't thinking IA so much as presentation. Feel like I'm just slightly altering, not pushing to new heights. in reply to stephaniehobson #
@alistaircalder Yeah, I got mine last week! Amazing piece of work! And I'm quoted on pg 18! in reply to alistaircalder #
