Overambitious

Sorry, guys, really had hoped to get through more this year, and I’m cutting short what we are covering. I had, as you know, missed one of our weeks off, and that threw me off. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is also officially part of fall recess. So, we aren’t going to cover a lot on [...]

  • Tweets

    • @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
    • Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago

    • @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
