Week 1 concludes

Week 1 is over and done with, so that is 4 Discussion Questions and 2 Assignments completed.

It has been a week of going back and forth, between not having a clue what to write and great big spurts of waffly wordage that needs editing down. I'm not a great self-editor either, what comes out tends to be how it ends up.

Struggled a bit with one of the assignment questiosn before inspiration hit. I was expected some kind of research stuff, but it was more a but of questions with answers - decode this bit of LZW compression code and stuff. Which is a good workout for someone like me.

Will try to participate more in the discussions, though everyone is still in the awkward stage, like shuffling around a room and muttering. Things are loosening up a bit, as am I.

It is a mark of how I feel about the whole thing that despite being very very tired and less than my usual bouncy self, I posted tonights assignment not by thinking "Thank God that is in", but ""That is in... wonder if the next one is up yet?"
