all things cbl

So, today was my first day back at school. All for teaching some young minds ready and eager to be molded in the ways of correct Database Design and Management.. (I didn’t decide on that title)

A few interesting things happened today.

First, the projector in my room did not work right with the computer. I had a couple of students playing with it. Then I sent another up to Erics office to get his projector. Not to be found. Anyway, we ended up moving rooms over to a stupid room that had a stupid computer. I could hardly read the screen, and it didn’t have Firefox. What a fun start of the day.

Went through all the syllabus, schedule, reading, etc.. got done with plenty of time so I started in on some intro to databases.. I really wasn’t planning on spending that much time on it, but I got a head start on Relations, and Relational Algebra definitions.

Then there was $STUDENT who brough in a little hand held camera to record my screen movements.. it was interesting. Not like $FORMER_STUDENT who also brought one in. I was really annoyed a few years ago when he brought it in, but with $STUDENT, I’m ok with him recording me. I even mentioned I was thinking of doing a podcast. One student asked that if I did, “would we still have to come to class?” Maybe I will.

Anyway. School’s in session.. Fun stuff ahead…
