I try to be a diligent student. I read my assignments with a google page open, and now also with a wikipedia page open. I listened to this week's AJAX podcast, and the first thing I did was wikipedia AJAX. The term Ajax is used in many arenas, and unfortunately for my life in LIS 2600, I recognized its use in about 75% of the arenas, NOT including programming. So wikipedia gave me a fair idea of what Ajax means, but the IT conversations podcast might as well have been in Latin! Actually, I might have done better if it were in Latin :o} I think I got the main gist of the conversation, but what will really stick with me are the Ghostbusters references! Both Venkman and Zuul came up in that conversation, and not meaning Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. Some wonky technarati must be a Ghostbusters fan. However, I'm not sure this will help me so much on my exam!
Aside: I spellchecked this using Blogger's tool before posting. As usual, it picked up a few words it didn't recognize, but that I hadn't really misspelled. This time, it didn't like "technarati." Now, I'm not actually sure I spelled it correctly, but what is amusing here is that the first suggested replacement spelling is "degenerate." Hmm...
