A sleepy greeting
Dec. 25th, 2012 03:39 amHappy December 25th to those celebrating it!
Happy December 24th to everyone else!
(Unless you are slow in catching up on your reading list, or are reading this on another date for some other reason, in which case: Happy [insert date here]!)
Why am I awake? I'm not excited about my presents or anything. Maybe 30+ years of waking early have made it automatic. Will be visiting my parents in about 8 hours for hot roast lunch in unairconditioned 40C heat, hooray.
Finished season 1 of New Girl, it has it's issues but I enjoyed it. The characters have a lovely chosen family dynamic.
Also officially finished my Interactive Python programming course with 97%, woo. Apparently around 5000 people of the original 50,000 handed in the final project, and a similar number got 70% or higher. Reading the forums, some were bored uni students or programmers etc, but others were like 11 year old kids or people from remote areas or retirees like me, people who'd otherwise be unable to access this kind of course. I don't think online learning can replace universities, but it certainly expands them.
