Updated webpage with new information |
  |

|
Worked on the webpage all day yesterday and finished up
today. Changed from a frame-based system to what you see now. Allows
bookmarking, easier navigation - it was also really bothering me.
Updated the schedule of events to reflect the changes
outlined below, recompiled the PDF versions of the Frosh Mailout and Frosh Application Form,
and did some other much-needed site maintenance.

Got Frosh mailouts from printers |
  |

John and I picked up 600 Frosh mailouts from the
printers, and brought them to the Engineering Registrars Office. Oops,
we goofed: the envelope attached in the mailout has the wrong return
address! Luckily, it wasn't completely wrong, and everything will work
out fine.

91.100: Drafting Kit update |
  |
William Sitch |
|
Due to a freak chance email from a professor, we found
out that instrument drawing will no longer be a part of the Engineering
course 91.100: Orientation to Engineering. We were approximately one
week away from sending a $15,000 cheque to Staedler.
Due to the 'doubling of the pipeline' initative Carleton
University is currently undertaking, the increased enrollment in Engineering
has made instrument drawing impossible due to physical constraints on the
number of desks. Content for the 91.100 course is still up in the air.
John and I believe that if we had to take 91.100, you
should too - but the Administration just wouldn't listen.
The Frosh Mailout could not be reprinted in time for
the Thursday/Friday deadline, so we printed 600 inserts, saying: "Please
don't buy the Drafting Kits!". Kudos go out to the Office of the Dean of Engineering,
for helping make things right.

Updated Frosh Mailout with CUSA concert information |
  |
William Sitch |
|
Spent the entire weekend working on the Frosh Mailout
revisions brought about by the CUSA concert change of events. Got the new
Mailout burnt onto CDROM and to the printers by Sunday night - lets hope
we can make the Thursday/Friday deadline.

CUSA: Concert date change |
  |
William Sitch |
|
Taline (CUSA PrepWeek Coordinator) called me at work
with the horrible news: the concert was being rescheduled. After a session
with the agents of Holly McNarland and 54.40, the concert date was changed
from Thursday night to Wednesday night.
The good news is that 54.40 and Holly McNarland are
coming to play a live concert for CUSA, and all Engineering Frosh and Facils
are going for free!
I called the printers and cancelled the print job. Our
representative there was upset. She mentioned that she had never experienced
a print job without problems.
Wednesday
is Bungee Day - and we could not reschedule, so we're going to do
everything in just ONE day. The Mailout must be changed, so Frosh don't
show up Thursday expecting a
concert.

Everything else |
  |

Everything else happened before July, we just didn't
keep a log. Approximately six months of work preceeded what you see here,
including several thousand webpage changes (kudos to Laura for her persistance of
vision) and a couple of million planning sessions.
