You know your school sucks when...

The registration server gets DOS attacks several times just because the student population of less than 6000 tries to register for classes for the next semester.

Is it too much to expect a school to have decent equipment.

I hate this place.

I have been attempting for the past 4+ hours straight to register for class. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one class added to my schedule for Spring 2007.

I hate this place.

For all I know they've got a Pentium II/III Xeon running their registration server. Maybe only 256MB and a 4 GB Hard Drive. Of course, this is just my interpration based on their crappy service.

I hate this place, but really I don't. I just hate the hassle of registration. Of course, these stupid bastards did this to themselves. They thought, hmmm...lets add to our student population, but get rid of telereg, the telephone registration system. At the time it must have seemed like a smart idea and maybe it saved a lot of money, but let me tell you, it doesn't seem to be working now.

I mean I don't know since I don't have an active webserver, but what kind of minimal requirements do you need to have approx. 6000 users logged in concurrently into a secure session? I couldn't imagine it would be that much. Of course, what do I know.

I mean for God's sake, this school always boasts that it is part of the "UT System!" However, all I can say is that this school does NOT measure up to what I would consider even close to "UT Excellence." If such a thing can even exist. I can't stand it.

Please, if you attend UT Tyler, please respond to this blog entry and tell me what you think. Or better yet, tell the people who maintain Campus Connect at UT Tyler what you think. The email address is campus.connect@uttyler.edu. Feel free to include a reference to this blog entry if you want to. Thank you very much.

Hey Everybody

So a few things to talk about.

One, M$ released IE7 as a "fully working" browser just yesterday. You can download it if you have XP SP2, x64 or the Windows Server 2003 line.

Two, the fall semester is more or less half over. YAY!! Now time to really start working.

Three, I gave Chelsea her birthday present early. I couldn't help it. I got her this really nice easel. For those of you who, for some reason don't know, an easel is a wooden frame on legs for holding an artist’s work in progress, as taken from the Compact Oxford English Dictionary.

She in turn gave me my birthday present. I receieved a cool Relic wrist watch. Something I have wanted for a while now. We both needed gifts. I am happy and feel better. I hope it lasts.

Fourth, There will be another Whitson Log update soon, but due to complaints, apparently, I will only be directly linking to my page to view them, so you don't have to wait for the blog to load.

Thanks and have a good day. I need to get ready for my 8 AM class.

The Whitson Logs Continued

Okay now, here are more and more and more Whitson Logs:
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD. CLICK ON AN IMAGE TO SEE IT IN FULL SIZE!
Also please I know some of my comments are wrong, but its pen and I don't care.

My Scanner seems to be working again

I plan on scanning the Whitson Logs.

My Damn Scanner Doesn't Want to Work

SO, I can't seem to scan. So I can't give you my Whitson Logs. I will attempt to get by this at a later point. Either way, just an update.

I Love My Chelsea

I love her so. She is so great. I enjoy spending as much time with her as possible.

It's hard to say in any exact words how much I love her, but it certainly is to a great extent. She is the most wonderful thing in my world. I could not and will not imagine my world without her.

She is the most wonderful girl in the world. She is amazing.

I love her so.

So Here Is Something I don't understand

Ok now...

Now read this:

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (1984), Stanford University, Stanford, California - 94305. Thesis: A Rule-Based, Generalized Design Verifier, Advisor: Prof. Willem vanCleemput; Associate advisor: Prof. Robert Dutton.

M.S. in Electrical Engineering (1981), Stanford University. Area of Specialization: Computer Systems and VLSI.

B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering (1980), Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Rank in Class: 3rd. Cumulative Performance Index: 9.7/10.0, B.Tech. Project Advisor: Prof. V. Rajaraman, National Professor of Computer Science, India (Retd.).

If you got all of your degrees in Electrical Engeering, would you be an electrical engineer? Probably, but would you be the head of CS department? I doubt it, but for some reason he is. Now I totally understand why I didn't get any of COSC 2315 (Comp Org). That class just sucked. Anyway, just my own little thought.
