Calculate Activity

I don't have any examples. When I first got my G1G1 I tested the Boolean functions (see my notes on the Calculate talk page). I tried to use the calculator and was confused because I couldn't find any documentation of what it actually does (especially the window on the right). I am quite pleased to find that it does plot! There are also questions as to whether this activity can work with the Pippy activity, somehow.

The people who can best help here are, unfortunately, those who don't have laptops -- the teachers in the schools. I know my kids did a lot of work with plotting when they were in high school. Simple X-Y plotting probably happens in 5-6th grade here in the US (I'm in New England, down the street from Dartmouth College).

Right now I'm working on the Measure/Oscilloscope activity, trying to prevent people from electrocuting themselves. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. (I've posted some things on the wikipedia website about division by zero -- see the talk page there near the bottom). That seems to be a topic that gets people going.

Thanks for the feedback. I just recently tried the 'Distance' Activity with another person on a jabber server I was visiting. For some reason, the measurement didn't work over very long distances. *heh Heh*. I'll look for some good examples of division by zero for ya too. :) --IainD 12:16, 1 January 2008 (EST)

reset / restore factory (build 650) image defaults

FYI, there is a method of restoring to factory defaults. (build 650). --IainD 06:33, 6 January 2008 (EST)

rename

Hello Ixo, I've renamed your account here, which carries all of your subpages with it. --Sj talk 09:19, 4 February 2008 (EST)

Perfect. Thanks! --iainD 11:25, 4 February 2008 (EST)

I was about to tell you that I couldn't rename your account without db-editing privs and that you should ask SJ, but it appears that's already taken care of. :) Mchua 21:00, 4 February 2008 (EST)

nice work...

On the cleanup and the new News. I'd still like to see relevant daily notes, as well -- there are so many small things going on. I'll point you to a draft if I work one up tonight. --Sj talk 18:55, 5 February 2008 (EST)
