[Year 12 SofDev] -- to Ross and others like him out there

Hi Ross,

 It is great of Andrew to give you the weekly tutorial. Actions speak louder 
than words so on behalf of the SD community thanks Andrew.

 I was in a similar predicament to you in 1995 facing the biggest 
educational challenge of my life having despite a Computer Science degree 
under my belt. I had taught Prolog to Year 12s until then and suddenly it 
was removed as an acceptable language. So I was faced with the challenge and 
requirement of  trying to learn and teach the buggy Visual Dbase 5.5 ( the 
entry level Dbase of the time ) , as a non-imperative programming language - 
a solution implementation that wasn't really understood by a large section, 
if not almost all of the of the then SD teaching community - with no 
reliable books, tutorials, courses, teachers or even people to ask for help 
leave alone an online community of support or a weekly tutorial by an 
experienced colleague. At the time, I would have gladly driven 7 hours to 
Mildura for a weekly tutorial for 3 months except there was no one out there 
or anywhere else to help.

 When I screamed there was no one to hear my voice.

In addition it was the era of the CATs ( Common Assessment Tasks ) where 
your students' work were subject to collection and marks susceptible to 
reduction - yes your A+ scores could be and were downgraded to D and E 
scores. Furthermore, the teacher designed task was at risk of "failing" by a 
declaration ( by "assessors" ) that it did not meet the requirements of the 
assessment criteria. It was a harrowing time. So what did most teachers do ? 
They copied each others' tasks so they wouldn't be deemed failures.

Not wanting to fail or copy anyone else's task,  I kept trying and trying 
and trying and trying until I spiralled downwards into depression. I was off 
work for 2 weeks and slowly recovered to adopt a new attitude of not being 
too hard on myself.

The following year, after recovering a little more, with no mandate, no 
authority, I created Edulists in the hope that if I can prevent even one 
person from suffering what I went through, the effort would be worthwhile.

The rest is history , but more importantly, don't be too hard on yourself, 
use the help before things get out of hand and if you feel things are not 
quite right, scream as much as you need to for your own health and the 
welfare of your family. In the end, your survival is more important than 
getting every detail of the Study Design perfectly delivered.

Best Wishes

>
> You remotely access all server while you in tech office. You go to cool

>
> C) Ideally, you will have a small storage room which have a lot of rack or

>
> D) Other small bits will be: a few extra  gigabyte Network points near

> backbone. A couple direct phone lines in tech office. One for phone call

>
> 3.  Have a separate room with appropriate A/C, no carpet, for your
> server/switch/router racks. Take care to make it as dustless as possible.
>
> Make sure racks are mounted in the middle of the room so that you can walk

> need one monitor/keyboard/mouse. Use RDP for all access to servers that
> don't require actual physical access to the console.
>
> 4. You may want to install a temperature sensor that can email you if the
> temp goes over a certain value. Make sure the room is physically very
> secure. Perhaps a pin number controlled lock so that only the appropriate
> people can gain access.
>
> 5.  In terms of a fire, make sure they don't put a water sprinkler in
> there. If you need fire suppression for the reg's, a CO2 one is the only
> way to go in a computer room.
>
> Have the room wired on a single/dual UPS, so that all the power coming
> into the room is filtered and on backup batteries. saves heaps of smaller
> usp's about the place. If you have box servers and not rack mount servers
> make sure you have twice as many power points as you need.
>
> 6. Get them to put some fibre runs to your servers as well. good if you
> want to get into fibre channel storage, or want to run 10gb out of your
> servers.
