opt for these classes are the more technical-minded folks though.*/

/*Yes, I have two classes going on. This semester, it's Web Admin. I'm
focusing specifically on Apache 2.x and the various challenges of a Web
server. Students will also get to create an application or system
project. In the Spring (aka Winter) I'm doign a small workshop with
students on the Open Source Software and Systems. This will definitely
be a smaller group of students and less rigid that a class meeting once
a week.*/
