Although she seemed to find laudatory comments to make on some pieces of my essay, including the thesis and conclusion (most important parts, no?), my professor gave me only an 80 on it. For those keeping score at home, was 90, I’m revising, #3 was 88, and was 80. EIGHTY?

I can’t wait to resume classes with a real flesh-and-blood instructor that I can see and question. This bullshit of “Guess what I really want because my instructions are so vague” is bugging me to death.

Now, earlier I posted a note telling people who make userpics what to do and not to do.
Here’s some ideas for those who are making requests for userpics:

  • 100 pixels and 40 kilobytes are smaller than you think. We can’t put an entire episode of Buffy in an icon.
  • Know some of the terminology that you use: Flash is a file format, not an icon type, etc.
    • Corollary: The “ART” format is ugly and non-standard, do not attempt to post ART or BMP files on webpages.
  • If you have a specific image or set of images in mind, point to them or send them
  • Use proper capitalization in your requests
    • Corollary: use reasonable English skills
  • Some of us are older than 12 and don’t know who the heck Justin et al are.
  • Please stop asking for userpics of Nsync, Britney Spears and the cast of Buffy. There is no shortage of those damned things already.
  • Be polite. Nobody owes you anything.
  • Don’t claim a picture and then not use it. Someone else may have wanted it.

That about covers it for now. Anything I’ve missed?
