| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 16:31 |
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | how's the weather? | 16:32 |
| th1a | Well, it has stayed cold, so it is very dry powdery snow. | 16:33 |
| th1a | Unusual for around here. | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | ah | 16:33 |
| th1a | (I don't know how much of a sense of snow variety replaceafill has) | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | eehhh... none? :P | 16:33 |
| th1a | We often get very wet, heavy snow, because the temperature is close to freezing. | 16:34 |
| th1a | It sticks to the tree branches, weighs them down, and breaks them over the power lines. | 16:34 |
| th1a | (also, sometimes you just get freezing rain, which coats the trees in ice. That's the worst) | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | :| | 16:35 |
| th1a | Anyhow, this is more like snow-sand right now. | 16:35 |
| th1a | And it is windy, so it essentially forms dunes quickly. | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | ah | 16:35 |
| th1a | So the top of our car is bare, but there is probably 2 feet plus blown up next to our fence. | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | how long will it last? | 16:36 |
| th1a | Well, it is supposed to stay cold for a while. | 16:36 |
| th1a | So... a while. | 16:36 |
| th1a | It stops blowing around after a while. | 16:36 |
| th1a | That's the other thing -- often we get a massive spring snowstorm of wet, heavy snow and the next day it is 50 degrees. | 16:37 |
| th1a | Not this time. | 16:37 |
| th1a | I guess now they're calling for a little rain Thursday night. | 16:38 |
| th1a | So then you get freeze/thaw cycles which makes a hard icy crust on top. | 16:38 |
| th1a | Then you'll break through to a foot and a half of powder. | 16:39 |
| th1a | All things you don't get to experience replaceafill, unless you move to Canada. | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | : | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | :( | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | the weather is a downer in that regard | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | San Salvador is at 23 C today | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | and i'm already freezing :D | 16:40 |
| th1a | We still have 10 hours of snow to go supposedly. | 16:40 |
| th1a | So this should be interesting. | 16:41 |
| th1a | Anyhow, it seems unlikely the power is going to go out. | 16:42 |
| th1a | And we've got food. | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | ah good | 16:42 |
| th1a | So, any progress? | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | yes | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | i started the teacher attendance reports | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | done with the overall ones | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | i'm now working on two of the "persistant" reports | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | they're very similar to the existing ones | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | so i think that'll go quicker | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | i also want to move the color coding out of peas | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | (report color codes) | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | so it's basically 5 "reports" (sheets) left | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | and then assesment | 16:47 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | Fran didn't answer your last email, right? | 16:48 |
| th1a | I think we should go ahead on assessment if we don't hear back. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:48 |
| th1a | Or at least start. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | sure | 16:48 |
| th1a | I mean, don't throw the brakes on. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | right | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | do we have any specific date for this to be done? | 16:49 |
| th1a | Ah, regarding auto-populating the subjects. | 16:49 |
| th1a | I'd call it all asap at this point. | 16:49 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:49 |
| th1a | One issue in data entry is if you have to look between the sheet and the screen. | 16:49 |
| th1a | So that's one thing about auto-populating subjects. | 16:50 |
| th1a | You might feel like you have to double check. | 16:50 |
| th1a | As opposed to just keying in the string of numbers. | 16:51 |
| th1a | Of course, that depends on if you're actually touch typing, if you have a keypad, etc. | 16:51 |
| th1a | If you have a separate keypad that's easy to learn, but they've become less standard. | 16:52 |
| th1a | Do you have any thoughts on this. It is a good idea. I'm just a little unsure. | 16:53 |
| th1a | But basically taking your eyes off that sheet would be a no-no for fast entry, because it will be hard to find your place again. | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | i don't remember if you asked Fran this | 16:53 |
| th1a | No. | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | but are the UCE grades a 1:1 relationship with the schooltool courses? | 16:54 |
| th1a | Oh. | 16:54 |
| th1a | Yes, they are. | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | if the student is graded in a UCE course, he's supposed to be enrolled in a section of the same course in ST, right? | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | i was just thinking the course codes (in the mock) shouldn't even be textboxes | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | just labels | 16:55 |
| th1a | Well, yeah, that's what I'm discussing. | 16:56 |
| th1a | Whether or not that is really better. | 16:57 |
| th1a | It is fine if you trust it 100%. | 16:57 |
| th1a | When you're typing. | 16:57 |
| replaceafill | i'm fine either way i guess | 16:58 |
| th1a | Ah, screw it. Lets try it that way. | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | :D | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | we can always adjust ;) | 16:58 |
| th1a | So we should set the subject ID's in the Alternate ID field of the courses. | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:59 |
| th1a | It is nice that we've been doing this long enough that most things are already accounted for. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | what about the titles? | 16:59 |
| th1a | (you may need an extra ID here eventually...) | 16:59 |
| th1a | That can just be hard-coded into PEAS. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | i remember they don't match exactly, right? | 16:59 |
| th1a | This is strictly PEAS custom. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:59 |
| th1a | Hm? | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | cool | 16:59 |
| th1a | ok | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | i mean, it's the part where Fran mentioned Math vs Mathematics | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | a mapping will do for now | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | code: title | 17:00 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 17:01 |
| th1a | Right? | 17:01 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 17:01 |
| th1a | OK. I'm not sure how productive I'm going to be in the middle of a blizzard with the kids home. | 17:04 |
| th1a | I'll do my best. | 17:05 |
| th1a | This may be the most snow I've ever seen in one go. | 17:05 |
| th1a | (by the time it is done) | 17:05 |
| replaceafill | good luck th1a | 17:05 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 17:06 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 17:06 |
| * replaceafill goes to get breakfast, bb in ~30 | 17:07 | |
