My job—teaching, research, advising, students, colleagues, university, and everything else
I’m trying to test Facebook Connect on my blog. This lets readers to leave comments with their Facebook accounts. I will try to leave a comment myself using my Facebook account.

P.S. Facebook Connect is a lot more than just leaving blog comments with commenter’s Facebook identity.
An interesting article about the title, delivered today through ACM Technews:
I’m in a bit sorry that I suggested e-book options in my courses this semester, but I also think we can’t ignore the economy factor… I’ll probably not recommend e-book options in my future courses. That’s not entirely due to this article, but also due mainly to some feedback I heard. Thanks for sharing.

Today, two articles from Slashdot caught my eyes:
What do you think?

Even with the fear I mentioned in my last post, I keep doing this. Here’s the recording of today’s lecture for those who had to leave early for the holiday:
Sorry about inconsistency of my voice. I kept moving away from the internal microphone, so there are many frequently fading voices. I think I should get a Bluetooth headset.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Your instructor.
Scary (at least to me) news delivered today through ACM TechNews:

I guess it’s at least partly true. For example, some people might prefer lecture recording to actual in-person lecture. And if lectures are recorded and available online, why not best ones, or suitable ones for individual students? I fear that most professions might be obsolete within a century, ha, and we all will be hooked on the matrix.

Here’re the links to the video I mentioned in the email:
Click here for the first example.
Click here for the second example.
Use these video lectures for studying and solving the homework problems.

This is the recording of Java Swing GUI programming guide. As mentioned in class, it uses the Vending Machine example we’ve worked on. The link is as follows:
I’m afraid the recording is not very satisfactory. It seems there’s some issue of audio-video sync. I’ll need to present a summary of this video in class next Tuesday (11/18/2008). You are still expected to follow this tutorial.
This is the recording of a part of today’s (10/30/2008) COMP SCI 256 lecture explaining how to use Eclipse for the beginning Java developers.

I don’t know why, but I had some trouble playing the video with my Firefox, but didn’t with Internet Explorer. If you have the same issue with your Firefox, try IE.
Again, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. You can ask your questions by leaving comments here.

An interesting article about the major and the profession at the verge of a serious economic crisis.
Am I in the IT profession by the way? Also, other interesting articles delivered to me as ACM CareerNews Alert:

A dear friend of mine reminded me of this song this morning in his email. Looked up YouTube and there are plenty of this song’s recordings. I wanted to test how the video embedding works and also wanted visitors to enjoy this music for a while. It is “Moments in Love” by “The Art of Noise.”
Wow, it’s really easy to embed a YouTube video!
