Data Flow Diagrams. I am taking a systems analysis and design class, in order to help me develop a new course for the Library School, to be offered for the first time in spring 2014, “Designing Information Systems”. The unit we are on now is data flow diagrams. In theory, I really like the idea of diagramming the flow of information in a system – I’m a visual learner. But in practice, the examples<\/a> we’re working on are business orientated; I just spent 3 hours trying to diagram how to generate a billing statement. And I’m sure it’s all wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Child_create_customer_statement\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To add insult to injury, about 2 weeks ago I left the very heavy and boring textbook<\/a> on the arm of the couch, with my glasses on top, and was kind of dozing off … the cats knocked the book off and broke my glasses in half.<\/p>\n

Even though it was only misting, as soon as I got my bike out of the garage this morning, it started actually raining.<\/p>\n

I had to go talk to a bunch of catalogers this afternoon, and I did one of those things I hate myself for doing in a presentation – I kind planned an order that I was going to speak about things in, then I changed it on the fly. I was going over the syllabus of a class that I teach. I planned to do that all at once, and then go back and talk about the exercises, but at about week 3 I dove right into the exercises. And I talked abut a lot of stuff I did not SHOW them, because I decided to simply show the syllabus not the interface for the online course. Sigh.<\/p>\n

Came home, put a broccoli casserole<\/a> and squash into the oven for dinner – red kuri<\/a>, very sweet and dry – and began the struggle with the diagrams. Dinner was good, but I gave myself kind of a nasty burn on my right hand, getting the casserole out from under the broiler. And, oh yea, I have a cold sore that feels about as big as a golf ball in the left corner of my mouth.<\/p>\n

But, I guess – some really good things did happen today. I ordered the same Warby-Parker frames, in a slightly lighter color, and got the old lenses popped in. I went out to pick them up, stopped in at Steep & Brew, and got the coffee donation for Reap’s pie palooza pretty much set up, because Mark the owner was there, and the manager for the state street store, where they’ll brew the coffee on pie day. I had a good talk with John while walking back to work. And it was sunny by the time I biked home, after embarrassing myself in front of all those catalogers.<\/p>\n

I’ve got some long rise whole wheat bread in the oven, maybe that’ll come out good. It smells good.<\/p>\n

Awww, and it’s a nice bread.<\/p>\n
