Things to do for graduation

Published on 8 March 2007 ago in General. 2 Comments

As my final term draws near, this is what I have left:

  1. Finish my Hinduism course (what’s left: a single research paper)
  2. Finish my Judaism course (begins 26 March)
  3. Read for my comps (see the 28-in-28 on the right)
  4. Take 3 comps (4 hours each)
  5. Find a job in the Philadelphia area that involves teaching religion and/or philosophy at the post-secondary level (i.e. community college or such)

I’m not worried about #1 at all (already have the research, just need to type it out).  I don’t know what to expect with #2 because it is a relatively new professor (well, she’s been here for a year now).  It’s an intro-level class, so it shouldn’t be too difficult (I’m hoping for no writing…).  #3 is going smoothly.  I’ve already contacted 3 of the 4 professors for checking my reading plans.  #4 depends on #3, but I’m not too worried.  #5 requires me to work out my resume and CV, which I will be doing this month so that I can look good when applying for these positions (I have found a few of them).  We’ve already reserved a moving truck (and it was less than the one we got for the trip out here), so it’s just more of a wrap-up time for me.  Oh, and I feel like I have “senioritis” again (and I’m not the only one in the department!), so it’s a good thing that I don’t have a whole lot to do.

GeSHI

Well, I was tired of not having syntax highlighting…so, I installed a plugin that uses the GeSHI engine.

Now Reading (revised)

Published on 1 March 2007 ago in Geekiness. 3 Comments

Here it is. A modified version of Now Reading that includes K2 compatibility, a sidebar module for K2, and the on hold feature. Only difference for on hold feature from previous post is the on hold section in the library page.

Also, I noticed one slight difficulty when I upgraded the NR plugin from an ancient one. With the addition of the “started reading” field in the database, it did not add the info from the pre-existing books. So, if you’re upgrading from an early version that only had “date added” and “date finished,” run this SQL:

MySQL [Show Plain Code]:
  1. UPDATE `wp_now_reading` SET `b_started` = `b_added` WHERE `b_started` = ’0000-00-00 00:00:00` AND `b_added` != ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00`;

In other words, set the date started reading to the sate the book was added whenever there is no start date but there is an added date.
