I suppose people are tired of hearing about my website adventures, so I will just summarize:
- Heatherandjordan.com is now hosted by site5.com, and the move went really well
- They have Django installed by default, with MySQL drivers already configured, but it’s Django 1.3, and I developed against 1.4 so I need to do a little tuning.
Beyond that, I thought I would share one of the unexpected amusements I sometimes have sent my way:
I am not the only Jordan in the world, nor am I the only Jordan Nelson in the world. This means that having used my name as my e-mail address sometimes means slight typos result in my getting mail intended for another Jordan.
So, what adventures are being had by another Jordan today you may ask.
Apparently my doppelgänger is enrolled in some sort of online class that required students to submit a “Competency Goal Statement” also many students have been using Google to write their statements. This greatly vexes the teacher who has now made threats of administrative action against those who would plagiarize such an important assignment. On the one hand, I have a hard time faulting students for not knowing what one of those statements might look like, on the other hand I would rather my remote namesake didn’t resort to cheating.
I would feel more sympathy for the instructor if she had time to respond to my nice note asking that she stop sending me class material.
