John Olinda When does the academic year end at your university?
9y, 41w 1 reply
Nkrs It starts in October and ends in September next year. There are two semesters (Oct-Jan and Mar-Jun), 6 periods for exams (two in Jan/Feb, two in Jun/Jul and two in Sep), and the rest is summer vacation which is about 6 weeks long. This is the situation in general - some faculties start earlier, and some start later, but not more than a week or two. My faculty, for example, starts "on schedule".

John Olinda Going to be walking/biking distance at the new place?

Martijn Biking distance. Currently it is an almost 2 hour train-bus commute.

John Olinda Wow, that's got to be draining. I have a couple students who commute that distance and most of them have ended up moving closer or had to find another school.

Xasasfdasfd I'm actually F/T W2 these days...so my company's. It was an interesting day. Most things worked, but I forgot we had a little-used alternate domain, so we had some customers hitting the wrong servers for a few hours. Database hilarity ensued.

😀 Tom I need to stop procrastinating and try to replace power switch on my mom's phone. I need to decide on an MVNO to transfer a phone number from a VOIP service, and I need to shop for a dual SIM phone. Then when my dad's new phone arrives in the mail, I need to set that up for him. It appears this week's to do list has a theme.

John Olinda My Nokia N900 is now blinking balefully at me, reminding me that I still have to replace the ear speaker.

Eric Cementing the back end of a rich terminal interface for radio broadcasting through the Raspberry Pi. Just need to get the mic and the broadcast kill switch nailed down.

John Olinda Would it be a sort of "always on" audio broadcast? Unless the kill switch is pressed, that is?

Eric Unless left on Mic the broadcast will end once the track has finished playing. The kill switch is needed to stop the broadcast mid track, it was working but I goofed it up fixing something else. Oops.
