I have just installed a wonderful theme for this website, its optimised for people using their iPhone or iPod Touch. I have tested it on my iPhone and it works well. Below are some screen-shots I have taken

Work update
Life has been going rather slow, but productive. At least now Drupal is doing what I want it to do, 90% of the time, the other 10% well that’s what the drupal fora are for.
The only discouraging thing is that the page still looks bland, I am aware that I need to get have the bolts and whatever else is needed with bolts working before I add the whistle and the paint to make it look pretty.
On the TA side, things are getting somewhat frustrating, I was told to be harsh when marking then I get told to take it easy… I guess I was too harsh, but its remedial first year physics, the students should know the rules such as: “Don’t cheat“, and “show all your work“, or in the case of the lab “don’t leave the lab with your lab notebook since I have to mark it and you get a zero otherwise“, or “show up on time otherwise you wont be allowed in and you will get a zero on the lab”
I also had my birthday recently, the big 24, except I was sick on my birthday, so not much happened except dinner with some friends.

Small Update
So I’ve been over run by real life work, at the moment I am struggling with a Drupal install for one of my summer jobs, re-design a website from scratch, my biggest project to date.
My other job is a TA for a first year physics course, which is has its ups and downs, mostly that some of the students are not putting much effor as they should be, and I would not blame them, I am like that some times.
I guess I shall leave it at that, till the next time I update again.

Halifax Fire
While at work today, I was notified that there was a fire on the west side of HRM, so I went to take a look through one of the windows, and its HUGE!!! I called my IMed my friend and told him about it so we went up onto the SMU Observatory to take a look at it, I took some photo’s with my camera phone, and my boss took some photos with the office DSLR (but she was on the 5th floor, and I was on the 23rd floor)

Summer Projects
The academic year is over, and “summer” has begun, well its more like spring has begun here in Halifax, I do not have much planned for my 4 months with no schooling, other than work my two part time summer jobs, can’t get any glamorous than that.
One of my jobs continues from my term with SMUSA, this summer I shall be helping redesign the website, I won’t lie I am very nervous about this; I’ve never done anything this major, its been mostly me fiddling around with my own pages and teaching my self random things, I guess there is a first time for everything.
The second job I have is with the Astronomy and Physics department at SMU, I will be the lab demonstrator and course grader, this bit I am looking forward to. A few years ago I wanted to become a teacher and my first shot at teaching was at a summer camp last summer where I discovered I am not fit to teach children under the agre of 16, so I shall have to see how these university students will fare compared to the kids last summer.
As of yet this website holds no firm direction other than the random ramblings from my discontinuous stream of conscienceness.
