| Gap | Hi guys, what's good? | 14:05 |
| jelkner | Hi everyone | 14:08 |
| jelkner | sorry i'm late | 14:08 |
| svaye | Good morning jelkner | 14:08 |
| jelkner | i am preparing grades at end of semester | 14:08 |
| jelkner | and planning for the start of a new semester next week | 14:08 |
| jelkner | it is a struggle this year to keep up | 14:09 |
| Gap | good morning jeff | 14:09 |
| jelkner | i really don't have any time to waste | 14:09 |
| jelkner | work, work, work, it's all I do ;-) | 14:09 |
| jelkner | anyway, scooper i paid for the PCEP | 14:09 |
| jelkner | i assume you will let me know how it goes | 14:10 |
| jelkner | and then we need to plan from there | 14:10 |
| jelkner | i am running out of funds, scooper | 14:10 |
| jelkner | so it is getting harder and harder to pay for things | 14:10 |
| jelkner | we need to begin generating revenue soon | 14:10 |
| jelkner | and by "we" i mean both nova web development *and* jetro web development | 14:11 |
| jelkner | goal has to be to begin generating revenue by soon after i leave liberia this summer | 14:11 |
| jelkner | you all still need a lot more skills before we can charge customers | 14:11 |
| scooper | Oh you approved my mail. thanks Jeff | 14:12 |
| *** jelkner has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 14:12 | |
| jelkner | oops, i clicked on the wrong window | 14:14 |
| jelkner | but i'm back | 14:14 |
| jelkner | yes, scooper, i paid for your PCEP | 14:14 |
| jelkner | let me know how it goes | 14:14 |
| scooper | Sure I will before sunday evening... | 14:14 |
| tboimah | Thanks very much for the help jelkner | 14:14 |
| jelkner | tboimah, we are in this together | 14:15 |
| *** dcammue has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | 14:15 | |
| jelkner | as i've been saying to you for a long time, what i really want to do is to do "Social Justice Computing" | 14:15 |
| jelkner | with the rest of my life | 14:15 |
| jelkner | but i'm getting old | 14:15 |
| jelkner | so this is my last shot to do what i dream of doing | 14:16 |
| jelkner | if we can't find a way to make this sustainable | 14:16 |
| jelkner | i'll have to move on | 14:16 |
| jelkner | my "B plan" isn't so bad | 14:16 |
| jelkner | i'll retire in Mexico | 14:16 |
| jelkner | and live a quiet life writing a blog about what is going on there | 14:16 |
| jelkner | but that isn't my "A plan" | 14:17 |
| scooper | of this year???? | 14:17 |
| jelkner | i'm 63 | 14:17 |
| jelkner | i am eligible to retire now | 14:17 |
| jelkner | since i have been teaching for more than 25 years | 14:17 |
| jelkner | but i don't have to | 14:17 |
| jelkner | and i don't want to | 14:17 |
| svaye | We will do our best to make sure that you achieve your dream jelkner | 14:18 |
| jelkner | but i only want to keep teaching if i can use my skills for a good cause | 14:18 |
| jelkner | LOL, hopefully it becomes your dream too, svaye | 14:18 |
| jelkner | you can't live other people's dreams ;-) | 14:18 |
| scooper | So our dream Jeff | 14:18 |
| jelkner | anyway, i know everyone of us needs a livelihood | 14:19 |
| jelkner | we have to take care of ourselves and our families | 14:19 |
| scooper | some of us never thought we could even write a single line of programming but through you effort we doing so | 14:19 |
| scooper | Like you always told me | 14:19 |
| gap | jeff i pledge to uphold the high purposes of you dream to which you have made it as a part of my dream too | 14:20 |
| jelkner | gap, we have a lot to do | 14:20 |
| jelkner | first step, getting PCEP certified | 14:20 |
| jelkner | i really like this exam | 14:20 |
| jelkner | it will give us a common base of understanding | 14:20 |
| jelkner | from which we can build | 14:20 |
| jelkner | btw, scooper, now that i finished PCEP with my csc221 classes, we start Django next week | 14:21 |
| jelkner | i'm really excited about that | 14:21 |
| jelkner | i'll be using Dr. Chuck's curriculum | 14:21 |
| jelkner | 18 of my 32 students have now passed PCEP | 14:22 |
| jelkner | i don't think i'll be able to get everyone to pass, since it is a serious exam | 14:22 |
| jelkner | but i have over half | 14:22 |
| jelkner | and i'll get several more later | 14:23 |
| jelkner | so that is a fair measure of success | 14:23 |
| jelkner | i told my students we are done preparing for this in class | 14:23 |
| jelkner | since we are moving on | 14:23 |
| gap | at first am prepare for the exam but due to some circumstances I won't be ready this month but i'll next month i promise and also i do share my repo in your email to see what i been doing over the period | 14:23 |
| jelkner | that would be wonderful, gap | 14:24 |
| jelkner | lol | 14:24 |
| jelkner | svaye, | 14:24 |
| svaye | Yes jelkner | 14:24 |
| jelkner | what does gap stand for? | 14:24 |
| jelkner | never mind, just asking | 14:24 |
| jelkner | ok folks, we have a lot of planning to do | 14:25 |
| jelkner | but let's take it step-by-step | 14:25 |
| svaye | it stands for Gabriel jelkner | 14:25 |
| jelkner | ah | 14:25 |
| jelkner | that makes sense | 14:25 |
| jelkner | i sent an email this morning to a local community activist who is from Cameroon | 14:26 |
| jelkner | i met his daughter at our weekly get-together | 14:26 |
| jelkner | she put me in touch with her dad | 14:26 |
| jelkner | again, we need to build skills first | 14:26 |
| jelkner | but once we are ready | 14:26 |
| jelkner | there will be lots and lots of opportunities for us | 14:27 |
| jelkner | ok, i have to get back to grading and planning | 14:27 |
| jelkner | please make good use of kevin's help | 14:27 |
| jelkner | he is such a good tutor | 14:27 |
| jelkner | and he is available for two hours two days a week | 14:28 |
| jelkner | Monday and Friday | 14:28 |
| jelkner | please don't waste that opportunity | 14:28 |
| jelkner | i won't be here monday | 14:28 |
| jelkner | it is a teacher planning day | 14:28 |
| jelkner | and i need to go to the bank in the morning | 14:28 |
| jelkner | i'll be here at 7 am my time Tuesday as usual | 14:29 |
| jelkner | talk to you all soon | 14:29 |
