Our first class... scurry to Carnegie 210 by 10:40 am, and we'll chat. Bring your book, eh.
If you like to know the future (and who doesn't), I humbly present:
ready... yow, bill
PS - I'm already weary of this bright blue... a bad sign. Ha!~~~
Wed Feb 7, 2007
Chapter 1 prep is due, then we'll chat about the goodies in Chapter 1.
set... yow, bill
PS - Remember that problem in class with two Eric Schmidts (one good and one pure evil)? We could figure out how to reach the good Eric Schmidt because the evil one (typically) snarfed the eric.schmidt web address for himself. Well, here's the answer:
- students.noctrl.edu/esschmidt/ - to access Eric "The Good"
- students.noctrl.edu/ejschmidt/ - to access the bad Eric Schmidt
Anyone's Noctrl web site can be accessed this way, in fact. See the pattern? students.noctrl.edu/ID. For example, here's my alternate address: faculty.noctrl.edu/wtkrieger/
Excellent!

I'll hand back your Chapter 3 post homework, and we'll huddle around the campfire for a little midterm preview.Here's a link to my dandy-lion homework solution... dandelion_farm.htm. Hey, if you had problems with this, here are some pointers:
- When you "Save as a Web Page" in Excel, choose "Selection: Sheet" rather than saving the entier workbook.
- Save your HTML file to your w: drive.
- Then, in FrontPage, add a link to this file using "Insert/Hyperlink".
thanks... yow, bill
