OnCampus visit to Pittsburgh

Wow. I just submitted my second essay. The summer semester is half over already. Where did the time go. I can't wait to go to Pittsburgh for our on campus sessions. It will definitely be informative. I can't believe some asked what we should bring. Duh. Um, if you are going to be going to class, then gee, maybe bring everything for classes. The computer thing was already discussed at the beginning of class when someone else asked that. Besides, that's what computer labs are for. Anyway, I am excited for the game. Hopefully, the Pirates will pull off a win or try not to lose to badly i.e. the game against the Yankees. I don't even know why they play the Yankees. That was quite an ass whoopin. So I wonder what kinds of things we will be going over in our classes. We are definitely going to be busy. There are a lot of things listed on the see the city list that lucky for me, I've already done. I would like to go to the Heinz Museum or Carnegie Museum. I love those big statues of dinosaurs outside the Carnegie Museum. The Carnegie Theatre was really fascinating(I was in and felt like "Pretty Woman.") I guess we'll see. It shall be fun as well as spending time with the niece/nephew. Until later, have a great weekend.

Assignments

Okay, so I spent the day finishing the Web of Science assignment, I hope. Unless the TA's tell me otherwise. I also tried to go onto the ePrints3 database and was not having any luck. Have no idea how to go about using it. I hope I get some answers, otherwise, I will need to call the TA's tomorrow to confirm. Now I am off to read!

Scopus Assignment

Okay, I think I got the first part of the Scopus assignment done, but am not too sure about the second part. I will need to work on the Web of Science Citation Alerts and the Scopus feeds tomorrow, provided I know what I am doing. Otherwise, I am tired, and will hit the showers before retiring to bed with my Google Apps Hacks book. Good night.

Busy week

Okay, so I am getting a little behind at this. I just got my computer back yesterday and so far so good. Everything seems to be working fine. I just finished the first part of the Scopus assignment. I've captured 100 citations on open source computing in education, exported them and imported them into a folder on RefWorks. Whohoo! Now I am going to get the Google Scholar part done.

Life

Well, it's Saturday, and my first big essay assignment is completed. I started it on Tuesday and it is now finished. Wow, what an accomplishment. So now I am reading the Glut book. I haven't looked at any other assignments in depth yet and need a little break. I will take a look tomorrow. Well, my computer will again be going to the shop to have the hard drive/operating system flushed and reinstalled. I'm so thrilled. There better be an extension for this next assignment as I do not know how long this takes. Hopefully no more than a day or so.
My puppy dog is out of the "puppy hospital" now. She was suppose to have her teeth cleaned and a cyst drained, however, she wasn't feeling good and upon testing before the surgery, the vet found that she was on the brink of renal failure. After a few days in the "puppy hospital," with iv fluids and antibiotics, her kidneys too, have been flushed and with the exception of a special diet now, she seems more perky! What a scary week. Now, if my computer can get flushed and "feel better," life will be much better for me! Well, better get back to the book! Have a great weekend!

Good Evening!

Hello. I am not sure what to write this evening as my brain is on writing my essay for LIS2000 of which I have 900 out 1500 words written. I think I will try to write a little more this evening and then finish it up tomorrow and Saturday. At first, I didn't think 1500 words was a lot, but when you start writing, and have a block, it seems as though there is no end in sight.
So I will be having my computer's hard drive/operating system flushed on Tuesday and then reinstalled. If you don't hear from me for awhile that's why. Since I really don't know what all that entails or the time it will take, I am sending to the "shop" for my very favorite tech buddy, Jim to do it. If this doesn't "cure" my system, then I have no idea what could be the problem. Well, I really must get back to this paper. Tootaloo. Have a great night!

Good Morning

Okay so I am trying to keep up with my Blog, but honestly, who has the time for all of this technology? I mean really. It is all very time consuming. I am trying to finish my Delicious tags so tootaloo!
