Kind: Notes

Damn, It’s only just now 4. God this is dragging on too long.

Dear #Redhat professor: Please answer your email. i’m not sending emails to you because I have nothing else better to do. No love, me.

Oh now we’re going to talk about non-verbal messages. I got some nonverbal messages right here.

Wisdom from today’s com class: Thinking you know more than the speaker, or that your oppinion is more valuable is egocentrism. This is bad. I mean the egocentrism is bad. It doesn’t matter whether or not you actually *do no more than the speaker.

Done with com class and headed home.

According to this book/lecture, one type of communication is horizontal communication. *snicker

And here we have the beginning of the moral relativism.

It amazes me that either the academic world feels people need to be taught this crap, or that people really do need to be taught this crap.

There are principles of communication? Wow. And one of these is: you’re always communicating. What a concept! And communication has two levels: what you mean, and how the other person feels about what you communicated. What a shock.

Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that someone actually got paid to write a book with com diagrams and models. This book actually has paragraph upon paragraph on communication and its various elements. So far, all of this stuff is very self-explanatory.

Have set a message of the day on the virtual machine. Let’s see what they think about that.

At the end of both summer sessions, I think I might just disconnect for a little while. Maybe.

OK server and site behaving now. I think they’re making updates. It was showing a bunch of work as incomplete that I had already done.

I think I need a drink. Someone send me a drink.

There’s going to be a Wolf moment over here if this Red Hat Academy site doesn’t start behaving, and that goes for this server too. Scratch that, we’re already having Wolf moments. Local system decided it needed to be difficult.

Got a few more minutes till I need to head off to my business com class. Let’s hope this one’s actually useful.

*headbang. This table is not a proper table. Bad Red Hat Academy, bad! Makes it difficult to interpret.

RHEL virtual machine is down. Again. well, so much for running commands and generating logs.

Oh my god, I just saw a commercial for a bail bondsmen. And I thought Down East couldn’t get any worse.

Would like to invest in a flock of carrier pigeons.
