Calendar Changes

There's a lot of griping about colour coding in Google's Calendar. I finally bit the bullet and stopped waiting for it to be implemented the way I (and many others) thought it should be.
I wanted one calendar with colour options. But that's not the way it's been designed and implemented. Google Calendar wants the user to maintain several calendars, which are individually colour coded. A 5 period day becomes 5 calendars?
So, I'm running multiple colour coded calendars now. This will be interesting. My biggest stumbling block was not setting them up, but in the embedding.

ENG4U1-02 January 2009

Class,

Last year I wrote the following:

Thank you for participating in my pedagogical experiment. Your writings, will remain here. In the years to come, other students will contribute to what you've helped to create. Like you, they will struggle and hopefully, grow.
Others still, will eventually come across these writings, and because of your words, they'll see the world through your mind. The mind of a beginner.

Ovid said this better than I could have:

Adde parvum parvo magnus acervus erit. - Add little to little and there will be a big pile.

Gutta cavat lapidem, non vi, sed saepe cadendo. - The drop hollows out the stone by frequent dropping, not by force; constant persistence gains the end.

This year, I want to send the same message.

Godspeed,

-liconti
