Novices and Experts
Rhythmic Seminars

I've been holding web publishing seminars at Swat since February 1994. Between not one and 24 folk have crowded in for two hours of web work. I'm so proud of this list - many folk seizing this medium who mightn't otherwise have taken a crack at it. There's so much talent and passion here.

Keep your eye peeled for upcoming Swarthmore Web Enthusiast's Meetin's. I've got a bulletin board in Parrish, near the bottom of the westward middle staircase - I'll post notice there.

Ahna Dewan and Gypsyamber Berg-Cross took off, I mean colours, subpages, links - the whole nine lines.

I would love to lend myself to such a project - I've been vaguely trying to start one for some time. I'm spread so thin already - thinking about the coordination involved to do the right kind of job is daunting - I'd need some help. Looks like I may have found it.

Jen Lee dropped by at about 3.30pm - too late, I'm headin' for the electric eclectic

11 new condor accounts! Computers filled to overflowing! Side by side terminal teamups! A Sinners popularity first - due in large part to adequate publicity. I carried around a phattie permanent marker and recycled old signs after the weekend.

Nick Lehmann showed up to do some excellent mentoring, he helped Matt Minendez get his page going. Cameron Warner finally found time from track to get involved, he'd wanted to for a year.

These folks got new accounts, and posted first pass pages: Paul Krause, Drew Stillman, Carlin Andress, Desiree Joseph, Rumki Saha, Vanessa Silberman. Rob Monk was ready with materials from his time at Deep Springs college. I don't know if Dave Sturdivan has an account or a page, but he showed up too.

Dan Sachar learned it all on his own then showed up to help folks with sounds. Talk to him if you'd like to audioize your pages.

Veterans Elizabeth Nickrenz, Emily Topper were on hand, as ever this year. These guys already had pages as well: Max Johnson, Caleb Olin - he hooked up his poems page. The computers filled up, Ronan McCoy sat with Lindsay Koval and helped her out a bit. Larry Kerr tried to figure out how to make people listen to a sound immediately upon arrival - besides java, he tried client pull. Check out his source code.

Lyndsley Wilkerson dropped by for a quick question.

As ever, Evan Dorn showed up to distribute an unprecedented number of accounts. Sam Weiler helped out as well. Thank you guys!

Wendi Crabill was the second to last to leave, and the last to get her page going - she gave me a green tomato and frying directions on her way out. Thank you Wendi!

S A T U R D A Y, O C T 28, 1 9 9 5, 1pm - 3pm

In the basement of Trotter - I hate this room. Unventilated, the alarm is whining persistently.

W E D N E S D A Y, S E P T 27, 1 9 9 5, 4.00pm - 6.00pm

Had to push out the Engineering 5 class. Evan Dorn shows up to christen new condors, handing out accounts and showing off cool tricks for NetScape. Unfortunately the new version (v2.0) should be out this week, and it won't support some of that shit.
These folks stepped up to the plate: Elizabeth Nickrenz, Emily Topper, Rick, Sara Luger didn't put up a page, but she did find her Dad on the web. Larry Kerr was phlyin' and phishin', Simon, and Jim Tracy. Ben stopped by for an account, he sez he'll have a page soon.

Swarthmore web enthusiast Dom Sagolla was on hand as well, to hand out some sagely advice:

comments in html rendered <!-- comment here -->

S A T U R D A Y, S E P T 16, 1 9 9 5, 2.00pm - 4.00pm

Unfortunately, no SCCS personel were on hand to distribute new accounts. Folks built pages in SimpleText and saved 'em for next time.

Giridhar, Danielle Hartman, Ani Hsieh, Rya, Eric, Elizabeth Nickrenz was up and running by the 27th, as was Emily Topper. Assistant Professor of History Tim Burke showed up as well; he already had a web page, but he wanted to check out the goings on. He turned us on to a hot builders link; a hex triplet color chart. He's got a kickin' page - links and tables and colours and commentary even! Original content! If only all my teachers put their syllabi online.

S A T U R D A Y, S E P T 9, 1 9 9 5, 2.00pm - 4.00pm

Today's seminar was postponed, cuz the raptor folk had told me that they would be taking the system down. I came in, to redirect people. When Lyndsley, Justin Brown came by, I figgered I'd just teach 'em some html. Due to graphix swiped off the net at large, she has a pretty fly lookin' page.

T U E S D A Y, M A Y 2, 1 9 9 5, 1.00pm - 3.00pm

First web exposure for Erika Rauer, and Shaquila Smith. Chazt did first time work, including rugby stuff, Kelli made some .gifs transparent, Laura Astrov came in here to do math homework, Dan and Jordan handed out accounts. And Derek, intrepid Swarthmore webbing pioneer, made yet another helpful appearance! Thank you Derek!

S A T U R D A Y, A P R I L 22, 1 9 9 5, 1.00pm - 3.00pm

Poetry reading for no one, until Fred Pryor, of the Econ Dept., shows up. He wants to find useful information, I point him towards, Yahoo. We start building a home page, but he gets impatient and wants to head to UTexas for more statistics - "My God, this is quite powerful, isn't it?" And when the computer is stalling, "Come on baby."

At first, I thought I'd be missing out on the pleasant outdoor fun. Now I'm sitting here freezin' in the aircon, listening to the rain patter the broad windows. I'm working on my family pages, and thoroughly enjoying myself.

S A T U R D A Y, A P R I L 15, 1 9 9 5, 1.00pm - 3.00pm

Sidewalk chalk and Broadcast and e-mail yeilded a motly crew! These two got raptor accounts -Marialuz Castro, Becky Bush, thanks to Sasha. Paul Wong, Bryan Gobin, Tshepedi Moremong, Derek Lumpkins, now a veteran, was teaching Maria and Solimar Salas. Jonathan Makler, Ronan A McCoy, Jim McLeod, Matt Trebelhorn, Omar Haneef, Jason Bromer dropped by for information on HTML 3.0 and tables

S U N D A Y, A P R I L 9, 1 9 9 5, 1.30pm - 3.30pm

So far two people have shown up - one to "work on the expensive computers" and one to tell me to shut the windows because "we have an expensive air conditioning system working overtime." Fortunately, I borrowed Chandra's radio, so I can listen to yesterday's electric eclectic. More people came, just two, to tell me to turn down the music.

I blame parents weekend, the end of the year, and the incredible weather today. Who want like sitting around Dupont working in virtual space when the sun is shining like this? Just me, today.

S A T U R D A Y, M A R C H 2 5, 1 9 9 5, 1.00pm - 3.00pm

A lot of individual ground covered - some people just surfed, some started pages, and some learned about HTML 3.0

In attendance were Phoenix Editress Tamar Charry, simply surfing Elizabeth Weber, Derek Lumpkins who had a substantial page up within an hour, and several Swarthmore College Computer Socialists Evan Dorn, Ross Dickson, Sam Weiler. New expert Anya Schwender made an appearance as well.

W E D N E S D A Y, M A R C H 1 5, 1 9 9 5, 4.00pm - 6.00pm

The session was small, being the second day back since vacation. I thought free time would yeild excessive interest, but instead people did not seem ready - adjusted enough for this kind of thing. The crowd that did appear got a pretty intensive web walk-through

In attendance were crazy Yoni Yonathan Dessalegn, quickly addicted Anya Schwender, Rachel Goldstein who did quite a bit of interacting, Tanya Wiggins lead a web tour, a brief visit from expressive Chandra K, and we were graced by the late arrival of a childhood friend of Justin's, now quite a web developer in his own rite, Donnan Steele.

T H U R S D A Y, F E B R U A R Y 2 3, 1 9 9 5, 4.30pm - 7.00pm

The first seminar was exciting. A nice mix of both experienced and newbie web folk showed up, the attendance spoke well of the state of web enthusiasm here on campus. I opened up with a presentation on the Net at large, and my vision of the potential of the world wide web.

Note: my memory is poor, and I didn't keep track. If you were there, and you're not listed, let me know. Kylian, Phil De Green, Hillary, Raina, Empty the Shelters advocate, born on Ghandi's birthday, Beth Green, Rachel Goldstein, Jim McLeod, Eugene, Jason, Samuel Weiler, Katherin McInnis, and Computer Center webhead Sherri Johnson who does this sort of thing for the faculty and administration at large.
