Check your blog

I sent this e-mail to all my COMP6023 students today.


Hi

I have sent this to everyone in the class. That you received it is not an indication that there is anything wrong.

Whoever I would like to to check that you have your blog set up, and that I have your URL on the list on my blog.
http://colinmcit.blogspot.ie/p/comp6023-student-blogs.html

Please check that any nonsense posts that you made to test it are deleted and that all of your posts are in standard correct English. If you have spelling or grammar mistakes you will score very poorly. It is possible to edit posts you have already made.

The deadline for getting your first entry posted covering weeks 1 & 2, is noon of next Monday.

Good Luck

That's a pity. But these are difficult times.

SOFT6007 Feedback

If you took SOFT6007 with me last semester and your dropbox is still shared with me, you will fine a small txt file there with some feedback on Assignment 2. If you want a recording of our meeting just ask. Once you have what you want, please unshare the folder. 

COMP6021 Class 04

We devised a communication scheme for Outpost 17:


The remaining humans have split up into secure outposts. The solar powered lights on the end of town are controlled from inside the perimeter of Outpost 17, but can be seen from watch towers at the other outposts. This system has been used for months now to communicate between outposts using Morse code. Outpost 17 had a computing student from Cork until recently. He explained that Morse code made sense if you had only one light, but it was inefficient when you had more. But he didn't make it through the last attack and now he's either dead or un-dead.  We found his notes. But we don't know what he meant by 23 + 23 = 64. If we could communicate with the other outposts more quickly it would make a huge difference. Maybe you can figure out what he had in mind.

SOFT6008 Feedback in Dropbox

If your dropbox is still shared with me, you will find in it a small text file with some feedback on your assignment 2.

If you would like a copy of the audio recording of our meeting please let me know and I will put that in the dropbox too.

When you have what you want please unshare your folder.
