Like all springs, I have some extra time \u2013 this spring, more than most. <\/p>\n
Curriculum and lesson plans are written for the year, can't work on next year until new staff development and requirements by others are written. Students take longer to do assignments and there is more time between questions.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been looking to fill some of it, and to expand my ability. I experimented with free lancing, and so far have found that very unsatisfying. The things I feel capable of doing either feel like a scam, or the person isn\u2019t interested in hiring me. Same thing is happening with tutoring. <\/p>\n
What has been satisfying is working on Python. Oddly, it isn\u2019t a language I have done much with, though I\u2019ve seen it at some workshops \u2013 computational media for example. And I\u2019ve played with it on Code Academy but haven\u2019t seen much of it to be of use yet.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve only been working on the project for two days, but everyone has been extremely helpful and I have started working in an area that I am comfortable \u2013 Windows and documentation.<\/p>\n
Right now, I\u2019m going through all the Windows docs, have added what I think is missing.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a real stretch for me, and I\u2019ve learned a ton, just in the two days. I also think I will be working on this or other FOSS projects for a while. It\u2019s very satisfying work. In fact, it gives me a bit of the feeling I got when I went to Grace Hopper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
