rebeccmeisterI feel like my forward progress is slowing to a crawl. I mean, I did record two longer videos today, but I'm still in the first lecture for the week.
...on the other hand, in my original syllabus I'd essentially budgeted 3 lectures for this topic, but I only have two sets of lecture slides, so maybe I'm doing okay.
I also feel really guilty about all the grading I'm not getting done right now.
But I'm tired, and I need to get things to a stage where they're sustainable through the end of the spring.
I also finally gave up, temporarily provided the Big Fruit Computer Company with my credit card number, and purchased a simple software tool to control this !%!*#$^@$%^ webcam and its !#$^#$%^$%^#$ auto"focus." Not only was that driving me nuts, it was costing me time.
