welcome to my new website.

ripped the idea from is it christmas

1/19/2009 8:37:52 PM

then you better update it to say currently canceled until 10am

1/19/2009 8:39:10 PM

yeah now that i see what the little alert div looks like on the ncsu page, i can script it

1/19/2009 8:39:45 PM

You need to write an elaborate script on the backend that parses NCSU (or perhaps they have an interface they use for the SMS system you can read from?) so that it updates dynamically.

3:1 on evan catching a charge

1/19/2009 8:42:25 PM

that's what i'm going to do

like i said, now that i have the code for the alert div and the location of the page where they post weather closings, i can script it so i don't have to do it manually

1/19/2009 8:43:15 PM

nm i see it now

ha

1/20/2009 9:12:14 AM

are you going to expand it to other schools?

1/20/2009 9:47:36 AM

just got an email, supposdly we already have a delay till 10am tomorrow (1/21). its not up on the university website yet but ill believe it.

1/20/2009 9:57:58 AM

nice

1/20/2009 9:59:34 AM

nobody will trust the authenticity of your website and thus will just go to ncsu.edu - what a fail

you'd be better off doing an iframe or something similar and just posting the official announcement

1/20/2009 10:01:33 AM

or just click his link to confirm...

1/20/2009 10:01:57 AM

as long as it says yes i'm not going to classes

that was the point of getting areclassescancelled.com and not arencsuclassecancelled.com

you really enjoy finding anything wrong with anything i do, don't you?

why don't you let other people decide for themselves whether they trust it or not

yeah

just click the "YES" or "NO" and it will take you to the official university page

1/20/2009 10:12:34 AM

should be more obvious that it's a link

didn't even occur to me until the second time I went to look at it

1/20/2009 10:13:40 AM

agreed..doesn't have to be much, but something would be nice..

1/20/2009 10:15:49 AM

p.s. it should now dynamically update itself

it'll change over to the next day at 8:30pm (10 minutes after latest class start time)

que?

1/20/2009 10:58:51 AM

What are the odds of classes being canceled tomorrow? WRAL just told me roads are still going to be mad icy at 10AM. Any bets?

1/20/2009 10:07:42 PM

^2 hr delay already. Classes won't be cancelled for the whole day. Hell, 2 hours after the snow stopped today the roads were pretty damn clear.

Hell, maybe that's because there was no ice yet.

1/20/2009 10:11:46 PM

alriiiiiiight

1/20/2009 10:13:46 PM

That's kind of the point of the adverse weather policy. If you live off campus and it's still icy where you live, then stay home and you can make up what you missed.

1/20/2009 10:40:24 PM

^Yea, just email your professor and tell them you did not want to take the risk of driving because conditions seemed too bad where you lived and problem solved. You might miss a lecture, but odds are they won't dock attendance for it.

1/20/2009 10:43:49 PM

I thought that under the adverse weather policy they can't really hold it against you- if you make up anything missed in a timely manner.

1/20/2009 10:53:44 PM

^yea, see, i'd do that for my 1:30 tomorrow and just miss all day.........but we're supposed to have a group presentation tomorrow......so i don't think i can, haha

1/20/2009 10:55:05 PM

My 1:30 got cancelled because she didn't want us to get ahead of her other section that was cancelled....multiple sections FTW

1/20/2009 10:56:06 PM

i don't have classes monday/wednesday/friday to begin with
and work is closed until 10 so far (probably will end up being for the whole day again)

5 day weekend ftmfw

classes only on tuesday/thursday ftmfw

1/20/2009 11:12:25 PM

1/21/2009 1:01:34 AM

i have class but i think i'm gonna have to cancel both of them

no attendance policy FTW

1/21/2009 1:02:43 AM

p.s. if anyone wants to grab lunch tomorrow, i'm game

i don't have shit to do and most of the people i know are either going to class or at work

1/21/2009 1:17:44 AM
