| <fignew> lol stuartf | |
| <nomasteryoda> lol? | |
| <fignew> I'm part of one of the few classes testing sakai this semister | |
| <nomasteryoda> updating beryl... now to see if this keeps working | |
| <nomasteryoda> sakai? | |
| <fignew> last semister I was in a class that was testing webct vista (both CS classes) | |
| <fignew> nomasteryoda: yea, it's a school system | |
| <nomasteryoda> ah | |
| <fignew> for submitting assignments/taking tests online/getting class resources | |
| <nomasteryoda> ewwww | |
| <nomasteryoda> evil os | |
| <nomasteryoda> totally evil | |
| <fignew> gotta say, sakai is better than webct vista | |
| <nomasteryoda> it should be banned | |
| <fignew> nomasteryoda: hmm? | |
| <nomasteryoda> oh visita | |
| <nomasteryoda> vista | |
| <fignew> but sakai usability is CRAP, stupid, non-descript menu system | |
| <fignew> also, I've had a bit of trouble with Sakai and Konqueror (in the submit assignment upload screen) | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya, i'm sure it is non-webstandard | |
| <fignew> nomasteryoda: lol, webct vista, is amazingly similar to windows vista | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |
| <fignew> it's an update where IMHO no update is needed | |
| <fignew> nomasteryoda: sakai should be pretty standard (it is opensource afterall) | |
| <nomasteryoda> ya | |

| <fignew> At my highschool we had a mixing board and it was from a Sennheiser owned company | |
| <fignew> French | |
| <fignew> 1 sec, I'll see if I can't find it, it was CRAZY | |
| <heathen> they do make good boards, but they are kinda $$$$ | |
| <heathen> we had a nice yamaha at my school... | |
| <fignew> It wasnt sennheiser brand, but the traveling case it came in said sennheiser on it | |
| <heathen> i dont remember what the specs were, or the clusters.. but it could be rather loud if we needed it to be | |
| <fignew> Can't find it... the board costed $100,000 new | |
| <heathen> not supprising | |
| <fignew> and had the automated moving sliders | |
| <heathen> i've seen price sheets on a lot of boards, the get expensive quickly | |
| <fignew> built in 386 computer, running some dos mixer program | |
| <fignew> It did crash a few times | |
| <fignew> which was... interesting | |
| <fignew> once during a show | |
| <heathen> yeah, that's why i stick with manual... less to worry about | |
| <fignew> hehe | |
