(finally) time for a redesign?
Dann recently put together a new design for the site >
With various other sites (the new SydneyStormChasers and others for work) taking most available time, it hasn’t been possible. Dann’s been WAAAY too busy too with the ongoing renovation work, profiled of course at http://talesfromthebox.com.
This weekend I’ve decided to get started. It’s a great design - no doubt Dann will write up some notes on the design itself. For now, though, I’m going to get to work designing a Drupal theme for it. That reminds me too - have been thinking about rebuilding TBS in Rails… but perhaps that’s a little too ambitious for the start of the Term…
linux learning for school students
Are school students really interested in learning about Linux? You bet!
In response to the massive demand from our students at school and at HSC Online (http://hsconline.nsw.edu.au) I’ve started putting together the skeleton of an online course. I’ll be using the HSC Online site… and all the capabilities of Moodle… hoping
Initial suggestions from students include:
- the power of the shell (getting away from GUIs for real power and control)
- dual-booting (Linux + Windows… or others, too!)
- setting up a personal webserver, firewall server
I’ve begun with some more highly-technical content too, with a basic coverage of my 32-bit chroot install of Ubuntu within the 64-bit Ubuntu that I’m currently running on a server at school.
