Lesson Learned: Don't bother with online courses

Note to Self: Most of the value in going to school is forming
relationships with other students and professors. Online classes
piled on top of your already busy schedule just doesn't cut it.

Well our course is over. Thank you for participating. I have enjoyed
reading your posts and interacting with you online, and I hope you
have gained something from our studies that will help you on your way
in the never-ending journey further into the deep things of God.

I was a little concerned this morning when I looked at the exams and
discussion boards and saw so much undone work. Please note that my
recent �amnesty� announcement said, "Just make sure you have all your
exams completed by the scheduled end-of-course date." According to the
Assignments sheet that was November 13. Unless some prior arrangement
has been made with me, you should be finished.

So please finish ALL your work, if you have not already done so. I�ll
give it another 48 hours (for those without prior agreements for
extensions). After that time, there will be a penalty for late work. I
must turn the grades in soon (three NT classes worth) and there are
many, many grades to calculate.

Thank you, and have a blessed Sunday

SHP

How effective is Blogger at sharing now.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.  

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work.  After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work.  I went through a nearly  parallel issue with Google Compute Engine.  It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. :  I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.  I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms.  If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech,  I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money:  There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
