Graffiti
Here is a message from Jenna Burrell (jrb37@cornell.edu)
about the Graffiti program that runs on the wireless laptop computers.
Everybody is encouraged to experiment with it and send feedback to Jenna:
Graffiti is a simple application which allows the user to leave notes
for people at various locations on the Cornell campus. It is
part of the Nomadic Computing Research Project. Anyone who is using
the wireless network and is running Windows 95/98/2000 or Mac OS can
use it. To download Graffiti go to: http://create.hci.cornell.edu/graffiti/default.html

Midterm examination
The midterm examination will be on Monday, October 16 from 7:30 to 8:30
p.m. in Hollister B14. It will have 4 or 5 questions to be answered
in an hour. The questions will be based on the material covered in
lectures.
Sample examination
The questions on the midterm and final examinations this year will be
similar to the questions on the final examination that was given last year.
In looking at this paper, note that the examination proved to have too
many questions to be answered in the time allowed. The examinations
this semester will allow more time per question.
Here is last year's final examination.

Wireless laptop distribution
Distribution times and places for the wireless laptops are:
-
Thursday, September 14th, 2:30 - 4:00 pm, Upson 5126
-
Friday, September 15th, 10:00 - 11:30 am, Upson 5130
To prepare for the distribution, we need to know who will be receiving
the computers. As part of Assignment 1, each project should:
-
list the people who will be issued with laptops, up to 3 people per project
plus one alternate, who will receive a computer if we have enough to satisfy
the full demand;
-
list people who will be issued with wireless cards, up to 2 per project.
This course is not part of the main nomad experiment, but a questionnaire
will be issued to everybody who receives a computer. For further
information on the computers and the project of which they are part, read
http://www.nomad.cornell.edu/.
