FudgePack Portal is having some kind of problem concerning grades being posted. The Help Desk is working on it.

FYI.

12/16/2008 10:28:02 AM

Is there ever a time when MyPack Portal isn't having problems?

12/16/2008 10:28:45 AM

^inorite, that thing is a pile of ostrich shit... hopefully once they get everything fully integrated with oracle and ditch TRACS, it will actually function well... though i'm not optimistic, it IS oracle, after all

i see nothing on sysnews about this... why?

12/16/2008 10:29:19 AM

Is there ever a time when Sysnews is actually doing its job?

12/16/2008 10:30:14 AM

LOL to all! I think the problem just got noticed.

12/16/2008 10:32:21 AM

well what is the problem? i'm seeing my grades just fine...

12/16/2008 10:34:18 AM

Apparently, there's some sort of upload issue between R&R and MyPack.

12/16/2008 10:38:20 AM

wait, so mypack portal doesn't even pull its information from RMIS? it has to be UPLOADED?

what kind of shit is that?

12/16/2008 10:39:15 AM

i'm glad I got out right before this system was implemented...


although I'll probably have to deal with it if I come back...

12/16/2008 10:39:41 AM

^^ Um. . .I'm not sure about that. I'm not a tech guy like you--but shouldn't you know the answer, tech guy?

no, i don't work for the university any more

12/16/2008 10:45:58 AM

you were in PHI340, right?

what did you end up getting

12/16/2008 10:47:30 AM

not sure yet, the optional final ends at 11:55 tonight

but as of right now i have a B+

12/16/2008 10:48:02 AM

ahh. yeah I needed a 129/150 on the final to bump up to an A-

got a 117, so I finished with a B+. somebody in the class got a damned 135

12/16/2008 10:52:40 AM

PHI 340 is a joke of a class.

Agreed, I was taking it this semester too...

Visited the class maybe 3 or 4 times. Didn't do any of the extra credit, and forgot to take Exam 3 entirely, but I just replaced it with the optional final anyway... Still passing with a B-.

12/16/2008 11:01:53 AM

it's a joke that I'm VERY glad I took. it's really going to bail me out this semester

didn't go to class since the last week in October and got a B+

12/16/2008 11:04:00 AM

Fixed--I think.

12/16/2008 11:54:10 AM

yeah, it's fixed. my grades finally appeared.

12/16/2008 11:56:10 AM

i just finished the optional final, got 120/150 - final score is 115.94, an A-!!

Same here, I'm actually failing my other 3 classes this semester (due to never attending class and rarely doing homework), and passing PHI 340 is keeping me out of Academic Warning/Probation territory.

why is hooksaw obsessed with changing the names of things to middle school-grade gay insults

12/16/2008 12:14:36 PM

anyone else ever take COM 421? i failed every exam and somehow got a B.. i think he just makes up grades at the end because his distribution is always just A's and B's

12/16/2008 12:24:52 PM

Can you stop fucking trolling, penilebandit.

12/16/2008 12:24:54 PM

i'm not trolling

i'm honestly interested in the reason why the extent of your humor is to add homosexual connotation to everything

12/16/2008 12:26:47 PM

I'm not sure, penilebandit--why don't you write a paper on it.

12/16/2008 12:29:29 PM

ANALBANDIT

LOL GET IT

12/16/2008 12:30:24 PM

why write a paper when a sentence will do?

you talk about more gay shit than evan does.

12/16/2008 12:31:58 PM

u mad?

12/16/2008 12:32:30 PM

I'm more interested why he renames things that will never know they got called a name

12/16/2008 12:34:54 PM

I think he tries to imply that, somehow, because something's name sounds vaguely like a 3rd-grade insult, it somehow removes that item's credibility.

But we wouldn't realize something was wrong with "MyPack Portal's credibility" with the statement "MyPack Portal is having some kind of problem"?

Those are both questions, and should end with question marks. You ought to know this, seeing as you jerk off over White and Strunk every night.

12/16/2008 12:55:59 PM

^^I guess it goes the other way, too. If something's credibility has been removed, it is somehow deserving of a homo name.

I was going to come up with an insult name for you in return

but your username already has "boner" in it

12/16/2008 2:55:32 PM

Wow! Sorry I missed all this--and to think that the actual topic is yet another MyPack Portal glitch. Go figure.

Okay--I'll play!

First, any eroticism--"homo" or otherwise--is your own. Please prove that the portmanteau created from your partial username and another word was intended by me to be a gay reference. For your information, my love here is not eros but rather agape. Yes, you'll feverishly search for the meaning of a number of words here and you still won't understand--because you're a fucking trolling doofus.

Second, in the case at issue, the portmanteau "FudgePack" actually refers to the word "impacted," a medical condition:

Quote :

"Wedged or packed in, so as to fill or block an organ or a passage: impacted feces."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/impacted

As in, the information management system in question is somehow clogged or immovably wedged. Even you can grasp this, yes?

And this trinket--referring to a couple of posts of mine in this thread:

First, I do, in fact, "get off" on the usage guides by Strunk and White, Fowler, Quinn, and Wallraff, among others. I also enjoy the style manuals from AP, APA, MLA, CM, and CBE, among others. What of it?

"The writing of good English is. . .a moral matter, as the Romans held that the writing of good Latin was." --Robert Graves and Alan Hodge

"Fashions fade, style is eternal." --Yves Saint Laurent

Second, you are painfully unfamiliar with requests, suggestions, and commands phrased as questions--these require periods. I don't, however, expect you to be able to grasp this rather basic concept--it's unfortunate.

To the ill-informed: This is what it feels like to be hookowned--it's like swatting slow little flies to the ground. I now politely invite you to piss off.

Look at this 40-something fuckstick trying to act like he's not the world's biggest homophobe.

It means that you're so anal about the English language so as to render it without beauty or variation. Millions of writers marching in lockstep with their jackboots on.
