Congratulations, Fox! Good to hear that your job searching has finally come to a fruitful end.
Happy birthday to Mister Iguana, if you still come around these parts.

This year we had our enlistment of classes online, so that meant no more lining up for us to sign up for the classes we want to take. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to plan it out all that well... I heard only one server was used to handle all the incoming connections of an entire batch numbering in the 1,500+ mark... which only really meant that all anybody got all day was an "Error Loading Page" message. I consider myself lucky, I got a pretty stable connection, so I got a schedule pretty close to what I wanted. But what about the ones who didn't have a stable connection? Or even a connection at home (dormers)? They're at an immediate disadvantage, which destroys the supposed "fairness" of the system. Plus, they'd be at the mercy of the computer shops, which charge per hour, making the whole thing pretty expensive.
The intentions were great, but the implementation was wack.
Rant done.
