It’s been a lousy tech day, as tech days go.  Either that or I’ve been
\nface to face with the monitor for too long.  Started at the office
\nearlier–last indoor home event of the year.  Ph. went along because he
\nenjoys the games, whereas I’m obliged to be there–it’s work.  While the VB
\nmatch was playing out, I was, once again, in my boxy workspace, plunking
\naway.  I was trying to figure out how to customize the sanitize feature in
\nMovable Type.  Seemed easy enough.  I wanted to post a comment
\nyesterday with a couple of pictures, but when I went to post them, MT scrubbed
\nthe img src<\/i> tags out of the code.  Thus, no pictures.  <\/p>\n

So I ransacked the support forum, searched and searched.  Came away with
\nsome stuff about the .cfg file, how to pull it onto my hard drive as an ASCII
\nfile where I could muss the code, FTP it back home again.  Presto! Didn’t
\nwork.  No changes, even after rebuilding EWM, top to bottom.  I wasted
\nan hour trying to figure it out.  I even considered switching the
\nMTCommentbody and MTCommentpreview tags to version with sanitize exceptions, as
\nin mtcommentbody sanitize="approved tags here">.  In the end,
\nit was much easier.  There’s an override feature under one of the
\nconfiguration tabs.  Dumped in the tags I wanted to protect from the
\nsanitation crew; pics appeared perfectly.  <\/p>\n

But the day wasn’t over.  Not even close.  As soon as I went to the
\narena floor, both security officers pointed out to me that there was water
\ndripping on the hardwood.  Uh…where’s that coming from?  See, it’s a
\ndome, a rounded ceiling (which is also the wall).  At first–when the
\nbuilding was puffed up four years ago–it was an inflated pocket, kind of like a
\nballoon, ultra thin.  The construction crews regulated the air pressure,
\nkeeping it blown up while they worked inside, spraying the inner walls with a
\nfast-drying shot-crete, rather like gunnite.  Day by day they layered the
\ninside of the air-supported dome, layering a thick shell and fortifying a
\nmagnificent dome.  I don’t know if the dome has a crack in it or if the
\nskylight is leaking.  I only know that it’s been raining a lot today, and
\nat work, there was water trickling on the inside.  Can’t fix what you can’t
\nfind.  I was chomping a piece of Trident Origin<\/i>al just for leaky-roof crises, but we couldn’t hone in on the origin.<\/p>\n

Ph. and I left the gym and hustled to North Kansas City.  Petco or
\nPetsmart?  Some kind of pet shop.  He needed a new bag of Aspen
\npellets for his Russian tortoise.  The tortoise was a Christmas
\npresent.  We already have an aged dog, Max, so we wanted something for Ph.
\nthat wouldn’t seem spry so as to upset Max’s senior years.  A Russian
\ntortoise is a perfect pet.  It (what, gender?) only needs water once a
\nmonth, it maws on lettuce or raisins or whatever, it doesn’t make any noise, and
\nit’s content in the yard, just walking *slowly* around. Max, who, as I said, exhibits signs of aging, doesn’t notice the tortoise; the tortoise doesn’t notice
\nhim.  Flawless compatibility.<\/p>\n

This evening, I was cutting and pasting html into the courseware interface
\nfor into to humanities, reworking a few things, and touching up a prompt for one
\nof the weekly writing assignments.  One part of the course is a weekly
\nexploration–a 1-2 page mini-essay responding to issues in the reading or in the
\ncourse links.  Students have five chances to complete three during the
\neight-week term. I feel compelled to switch up the exploration prompts from time
\nto time because, now that I’ve taught the course four or five terms, I get this
\nuncanny sense that I’m reading stuff I’ve read before.  I’m finding that
\nthere’s really nothing to guard against a student in one term copying the full
\ntexts of all course exchanges (threaded dialogue, other students’ assignments,
\nand so on), then passing it along to a student in a subsequent term.  This
\ncan, of course, happen in face to face contexts, too. And it does.  But in
\nonline courses, where all interchanges take shape in writing, the full platter
\nis captured.  It’s different every term, but there is no course<\/i>
\nbeyond the texts that are produced during it–all of which can be archived,
\ncopied and shared. Good reasons for turning things over.    <\/p>\n

My variation this afternoon and evening was to put together a prompt that
\ninvited students to think about the points of contact between Simon Frith’s
\nessay "The Voice," which we come at through Ways of Reading, and Hit
\nSong Science<\/a> (via Collin
\nvs. Blog<\/a>).  I wrote a masterful prompt about HSS and listening habits<\/i>,
\nabout the measurable qualities of a song and what it means to quantify our
\ntastes.  And I usually don’t refer to anything I’ve done as masterful, but
\nat the moment Windows XP locked me (not responding) away from my work, it seemed
\never more brilliant and irreplaceable. No, of course you can’t tell I’m crying!
\nInside, at least.  I worked for almost two hours on the whole lot (which
\nincluded some other general course updates).  Lost to a lockup.  You
\nknow that sinking feeling?  I don’t lose stuff often, but I was doing some
\nscrewy copy and past, then edit routine which left me, well, without the better
\nchunk of my work from the late afternoon.  I slunk back to it after a reset
\nand sweated out a much less impressive version of the prompt.  It’ll have
\nto do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
