Grade book usage

[Samuel]

Hi Dale,

I am an IT Administrator for Dickson College in Canberra, Australia and I have got a few teachers using your grade book program, although the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) College system has strange marking schemes at the end of the semester with locked Excel spreasheets to work it all out, so they mainly use it for storing marks during the semester and then feeding them to the "big bad mark munching machine" (Excel) at the end of the semester. None the less, they think your program is great, and would be lost without it.

I personally use it to keep track of my work hours as it can be very hard to remember at the end of the week when I go to fill in my timesheet, it is also useful as a long term storage solution so that when the pay office decide that it is my turn for a random pay diminishment I can quicky see how many hours I worked in the week in question and then point out their error. (It doesn't happen as often as I make it sound).

I find that remembering what hours I worked five weeks ago to be very difficult when I have to remember five zillion passwords, IP addresses, computer hostnames etc, and I just love finding slightly offbeat ways of storing data, and your grade book program does that perfectly!

I have also used most of your other programs for one reason or another, I occasionally use the cash register program for amusement, and have had great fun with the wordsearch generator.

Thanks,
Samuel

That is a strange way of storing data

yeah, but I like finding slightly bizarre ways of doing things. I'm probably just nuts, but it's fun.
