Skipping out on #xworld. I don't need to sit through more programming101. Give us some depth for gods sake.
#xworld I am officially jealous of universities that have IT budget. Such exciting projects! I shall get my B.IT and go work for a cool uni.
#xworld Oh god, the University of Canberra SUCKS SO MUCH compared to the stuff thats being done at other uni's. So sad.
#xworld This presentation might be interesting if it wasn't for the fact that its 4pm, and I have been sitting here for hooooooooours.
#xworld Sounds like Windows Vista sucks arse. Glad we are still on XP at UC.
#xworld The French presenter just said that every academic in his uni has an admin log in. Everyone went silent. He said we looked appalled.
#xworld Ooh, apple scripts that run when logged in to check that all the podcast recording equipment is set up correctly. Clever idea.
#xworld There has been an increase of attendance since podcasts have been widely instituted at Uni of Lyons! Actually increased interaction!
#xworld Ok, so I'm starting to feel really enthusiastic about podcasts and alternative teaching technologies.
#xworld Really strict accessibility standards. Have all readings and documents available in audio form
#xworld French uni's have no entry level. Lecturers with podcasts available had much better teaching results across all levels of study.
#xworld Amused by the French belief that computers should not be present inside a library. IT had to fight hard to get computers in there!
#xworld Uni of Lyons almost always uses Mac notebooks, triple booting. After 3 years use they are donated to students and staff in need.
#xworld 80% of students use the 'Digital Working Environment' more than 10 times in a month. Nice work Uni of Lyons!
#xworld Centralization is big in France. It makes WebCT+ISIS+ANUBIS etc look really complicated and unnecessary. 1 log in for everything!!!
#xworld 80% of the University of Lyon's back end is Apple, the rest is mostly open source. Windows is just for end users, if they want it.
#xworld ETA release date for Snow Leopard Server is 12 months from now.
#xworld "And you can see here how that works" ... No, no I can't. So, 'bout that optometrist appointment? I think thats a plan. Soon.
#xworld Mail Server is getting updated... but will it be able to compete with exchange? I doubt it. Its only just adding vacation auto-reply
#xworld OMG! Wireless net boot! Thats fucked up people! Fucked up! What happens when the ROBOT REVOLUTION comes? We're doomed!
#xworld ZFS support will be provided by Snow Leopard. Yay! Our American presenter says ZEE-EF-ESS instead of ZED-EF-ESS so amusing!
#xworld MacSpeech sounds cool... under dev is an automatic transcription & close captioning for podcasts. Accessibility FTW!
#xworld I have a plot involving waiting for the presentation to get underway, and then making a break for the loo! I hate being trans.
#xworld The presentations today look boring. There are vague plots for our escape... I forgot to pack another shirt, so I should go buy one.
#xworld I've counted 5 women so far, to about 100 men. I think that there are some queers here, but can't be sure. My gaydar sucks.
#xworld I have been issues a timetable, a t-shirt with a picture of the iPhone on it, and a bag with the AUC logo on it. Thrills and spills!
