Aggregated Thinking

I’m already feeling the need to kick myself for taking full load this semester, but as my wife would always say, I’ve seen worse days and situations and just as long as I stuck with “the” plan, no problems.

For now, I need to answer the following questions: Am I ready for distance education? Am I ready to teach online?

A good friend of mine started a conversation project and I told him I’d be happy to participate.  He’d probably know what I’ll write here, considering that we’ve both gone to GCAF back in Cagayan de Oro, but it’s all good.  What’s important is the intention of the conversation starter; and that is to let others in on the conversation of what the Christmas season is about.

So, not very succinctly, here’s my take of the Season.  Christmas is not about Santa, elves, reindeer, or gnomes.  It’s not about pine trees, tinsel, mistletoe, or fruit cake.  It’s not just about gift-giving and sharing either, though these are done with Christ in mind.  Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ, and what he’s about to do 30-something years afterwards.

What’s your take?

I was trying to remove AgileAgenda after fiddling with it for a week and deciding it wasn’t going to cut it. There’s no Adobe Air Application “uninstaller” in the menu, and search engine results usually point to Mac lurv, or not.  Seems like uninstalling Air apps on OSX is bloody.

I did find this nice article on removing Adobe Air on Linux and gave it (well parts of it) a shot.

jon@jedi-ntbk:/opt$ sudo dpkg -S /opt/*
adobeair-enu: /opt/Adobe AIR
com.agileagenda.agileagenda.f49a4d8df78a1fee7a3be440dc11bab18d922274.1: /opt/AgileAgenda
de.makesoft.twhirl.0ea062bc275e7ed1e6ec3762effd73c7158adf33.1: /opt/twhirl

I merely copied the package name of AgileAgenda, ran dpkg with the right switches, and pfft app’s gone! Menu entry seems to be gone too.

jon@jedi-ntbk:/opt$ sudo dpkg -P com.agileagenda.agileagenda.f49a4d8df78a1fee7a3be440dc11bab18d922274.1
