The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Tomorrow we may come this way...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Yep, and isn't that why Teddy got kicked out of UVA?

I don't know, but it sounds likely.

More computer classes should focus on reading menus as a problem solving skill, rather than learning specific keystrokes for specific tasks. Someone that can browse menus can use any software.... people who know keystrokes or commands, can only use the software they learned on. You probably aren't old enough to remember any of the Word Perfect people. Secretaries who were raised on the hideous program and fought tooth and nail to hang onto it. Because they only knew (they were the only ones in the office who knew) the seven keystrokes to bold and unbold something in WP, and they couldn't imagine learning to function in Word. They thought it would take years to learn like WP had, and they had lost their only value in the office.
I never took a class either. But a lot of the people I know who learned in a skills class, only know the steps they were taught, not the more valuable skill of "I bet there's a way to do this, I just need to find the menu command that does it".

The basic computer skills class I was forced to take worked the way you're suggesting. Unfortunately, it was mandatory for CS majors, not the people who could have used it. We knew all the tricks already!

Haven't seen that.
Like I said...if'n it's from the seventies, I prolly missed it. Same goes for the late sixties and early eighties, except for Star Wars and some cheesy sci-fi. ;-)
I know old movies and the better newer ones, for the most part...but there's a decade and a half I just haven't seen much of

Ditto, ditto... well, I haven't seen much since, either. Lots and lots of kids' movies, not much else.

That was true for me until recently, but I'm slowly changing that.
I've seen an awful lot of odd movies that no one's ever heard of, though!

Who's who? Is Bay the one standing? I can't see well enough to tell!
Another call...she's gonna show it to another real estate agency tomorrow. The other agency is allowed to show the house, but don't get full commission if they sell it, I guess.
