I was reluctant to say anything because I find Arthur has an interesting viewpoint, which I will miss. I suspect part of the issue is that he subscribes to this as an e-mail list, while I read it as a newsgroup on gmane. If I am correct, it looks more like a mix of messages in his day-to-day e-mail, and he doesn't really see how dominant his posts are.
He has sent private mail explaining that he has un-subscribed. One idea I had some time ago is using Python for visualizations. In particular, I once built an iterator-based visualization of DB query processing (based on old collaborative work with my erstwhile office-mate Bennet Vance) that makes it visually obvious that query processing re-arrangements produce dramatically different query processing speeds. It was a Tkinter-based thing, and if enough CS teachers (let's say, two) are interested, I'll go dredge up the code (which involves dissecting a dead laptop) and prep it for reading. The delay should be a week or so. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
