Hello! I've just recently joined the YoB, but I noticed it's not exactly jumping around here, despite a few recent posts. So, what's the status of the Shiningsource community? Are most of the projects still being worked on?

I thought I'd just ask.

Guess I'm lazy... :roll:

Many projects are rather inactive, but one new project has been launched recently, and several other projects are still ongoing or will be picked up again in a later stage.

There are some people (like me) though, who are having a tough time with work & school deadlines unfortunately :/.

For example, I'm currently working on my Master's Project ;).

It's not massively busy although it is probably the busiest it's been in quite some time. We're all preoccupied with something or other at the moment - I'm with Dev on the Uni front - but recently I think we've experienced a small but noticeable increase in posting.

Oh yes, and we have a girl here now.

Actually last year we had a really busy period too, but as of late things have been exceedingly dead :P.

That is about to change though, methinks ;).

What's your master's project about Devlyn?


Measuring the reliability of computational sites in the Grid.

Quite a mouthful, eh? :P

So you can say smart things like "They are fairly reliable"  and look really smart?

:D

haha nah sounds interesting, have you found any computers that have become sentient yet?  I reckon they'd be the most reliable, not wanting to break or anything they'd do whatever it took to stay online!

Sounds about as exciting the last two assignments I wrote:

"An evaluation of a teaching and learning sequence in the classroom"

And

"Fostering 'Can-Do' Pupils: Empowering Language in the Classroom"

That little phrase "in the classroom" is good for all seasons.

My next assignment is about games. In the classroom.

Whenever I click buttons your website flips me off. :cry:

Which buttons? That sounds like the anti-leeching script has gone a bit haywire :newtstongue:

Welp, I'm registered and was trying to leave a comment and the script goes off if I try to post it. (Reviewing works okay though).

But really I think your website's just a bastard. :D

If we're talking about my blog - that's The Collected Writings of James Newton (http://www.prosody.co.uk/blog), everyone -  that's maybe something to do with the anti-bratwurst thing I put on there. I'll have a look at disabling it, although hopefully soon it will look totally different.

Why yes, it's funny you should mention :+: The Collected Writings of James Newton :+: since that's exactly the website I was talking about. :D

Anyways, I like the writings, yep. ;)

I knocked off the bratwurst protection - perhaps that's what's been stopping everyone else commenting on :newtscrying: The Collected Writings of James Newton (http://www.prosody.co.uk/blog) :newtscrying:

Oh well, there's no excuse now.

No. I killed him and drank his blood as a sacrifice to the Great God Ryo Hazuki.

Don't listen to him. He doesn't know anything.
