So school has started again at the University of California, Berkeley and in some ways my job will actually be less hectic because of that. Aside from the previous server crashing issues, things have been going pretty smoothly. I have managed to setup a new server and migrate (without too much headache) our home page from the temporary location (which was a development area for one of the groups in my department).

Also, I have managed to help with setting up the environment (and negotiating with another department, as they are hosting the server) on time for our Grade Book Pilot. As the name suggests, this is an application for professors, instructors, and graduate student instructors to input grades so that they will be able to keep track of it in a centralized location. It does offer many different options (curves, drop assignment, curve one test only, etc.) for the grader to choose from so it is pretty customizable to suit each grader’s needs. It is actually going to be a part of a larger project called SAKAI, which is an open source course management system. So now the fun begins as I will have to setup SAKAI on our development server.
