System admin lecture, episode 2
[podcast]http://www.skoda.net/podcast/cis2230-ep2.mp3[/podcast] There are no slides for episode 2, please use chapter 1 of the book and follow along. This episode talks about the duties of a system administrator. I also introduce the idea that many decisions a system admin makes will not be based on technology (or achieving the best technical solution.) Many decisions will […]
System admin lecture, episode 1
Ethics and some historical perspective here. We have to talk about ethics because as sysadmins you’ll have powers that normal users don’t. Using those powers for self gain and evil will result in criminal charges in this day and age. We talk about some history in order to provide some context to the concepts […]
System Admin lecture, episode 0
[podcast]http://www.skoda.net/podcast/cis2230-ep0.mp3[/podcast] This is the first lecturecast for system admin. It’s lecture zero because it is the introduction stuff that we typically do on day 1 of lecture. Look for the syllabus and slides in the forums. I’ve got another lecture hot on the heels of this one. I want to keep the segments shorter this […]
Ads coming to quizzes and hand-outs?
A teacher in California sold the space at the bottom of exams to advertisers. I suppose I’m no better using Google Ads on my blog and posting materials for my courses. I have not had a student complain about ads on my blog, yet. I don’t know if I would sell the footer on my […]

and the calorically endowed lady sings…
The final is over. I will be on campus for a bit longer and checking my inbox in the Green Faculty lounge at 5PM sharp. Anything not handed in by then is not going into blackboard and won’t be factored into the final grade. I must have my grades in by 4PM tomorrow. Have a […]
Exam day notes
There are posts in the forms with links to all the lectures, including the broken lecture 9, and links to all the exam and quiz questions with the correct answers. I will be on campus shortly after lunch (around 12ish) in Green 111 for any last minute questions. For those of you who are still […]
Lecturecast, episode 10
This is the last episode for CIS-2151. It’s a long lecture, clocking in at an hour and 16 minutes. I hope you enjoy the whole thing. I’ve recapped the whole semester and covered what I’m going to put onto the test. I’ve included lots of references to good pages to flip to in the book […]

When Teachers Make Me Mad
I ran into this today… http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html Summary: Teacher sees student showing off Linux and handing out Live CDs. Teacher confiscates CDs and writes an angry letter because teacher is definitely a techno-bigot and probably a worthless tool. I understand that it is hard to set aside personal bias when teaching. I have worked for years […]

I forgot to hand out teacher eval forms in lab tonight. I plan on handing them out tomorrow and Thursday. If you are in the Tuesday lab and want to hand in an eval on me please attend one of the other lab sessions or email me and I’ll ensure you can give VTC feedback […]
