My job—teaching, research, advising, students, colleagues, university, and everything else
Last Friday and Saturday (6/5~6/6), I attended the Drupal Camp Wisconsin in Madison. Drupal is one of the most widely used CMSs (Content Management Systems) with great flexibility and extensibility. The interest stemmed from my former colleague Bruce LaPlante’s effort on trial to build the web site for our university’s newspaper using a CMS, in [...]
It’s happening again—dormant for really a long while and then suddenly hyperactive. Anyway, there has been quite much happenings regarding authentication on my blog:
OpenID: Fully working, but still no easy icons. Users still need to remember their OpenID URLs.
Facebook Connect: Fully working, even coexists well with OpenID authentication. I somehow tried various versions of this [...]
It’s been a really long while since my last post. The academic year 2008-2009 is over, so I may be able to write more.
In this post, I’d like to address the issue of authentication for my blog and the related technologies. So far, anyone could leave comments without registration and login, so I’ve been receiving [...]
Preparing for the new semester, I created a few screencast videos for various tutorials:
1. Eclipse Java Debugger tutorial (about 60 minutes): Students in COMP SCI 257 Software Design II should start using Eclipse Debugger, and this video explains how to use it, with the syllable counter example in Horstmann’s Chapter 6.
2. Installations of JDK, Eclipse, [...]

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.
In a previous post of mine, I talked about using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to install a Linux distro on a Windows PC. I mentioned that recent distros (like Ubuntu 8.04 or Fedora 9) couldn’t be installed on MS VPC 2007, so I had to try the one I succeeded before–Fedora Core 4. Meanwhile, I [...]
This may be my last post about various computing infra related topics in my/our courses. I use a Windows network share \\fpsb.uwgb.edu\compsci$ to distribute many course related files. The network share is mapped to S: drive in MAC-122 (you would need to double-click the Map CompSci Share icon on your desktop to get the drive), [...]
This is another frequently asked questions in many of our courses. Students enrolled in at least one COMP SCI course in UWGB is eligible for MSDN (MicroSoft Developer’s Network) - AA (Academic Alliance) privilege, which allows those students to get many useful Microsoft software packages free of charge or only for shipping charge. Our late [...]
After I took over the COMP SCI 370 Linux Systems Programming course, I thought about how to provide students with their own Linux installation environment. They don’t have admin privileges on on-campus PCs, so installing a Linux distribution on a dedicated partition is not an option. Therefore, a virtual machine approach seemed to be a [...]
