But, but, but - only 5 - you do grade on a curve don't ya... (a big curve I hope)...
For me it is yellow and I am not color blind - unless it happened today...
when you are in "Invisible Mode" your dot is white = not home to others...but it will be yellow to you
non invisible and online is a bigger green dot

Your dot is white. My computer just crashed and I had to reboot and come back on. It showed I was here already.
Still had to log back on to post.
Thanks Classie - I'm invisible - should I tell my wife... Hey does that mean I can sneak an extra slice of pie and not get caught...

Yea, I thought it was me. Mine did not crash but did refresh and the posts came back in a different order - swapped maybe two or three - Weird...
On the subject of my supposed intellect... On Monday I was participating in "Hour of Code," a national event for Computer Science Education Week (bet you didn't even know that existed). I brought in a 3D printer, but when I moved it from my desk down to the classroom where we were having the event, something went wrong and the wrong drivers were getting installed. I was bashing away at that for nearly an hour with a bunch of other Computer Science and Computer Information Systems instructors standing around and keeping me company. I tried installing new drivers, uninstalling and deleting the old drivers, moving the USB cable to a different port on the computer, restarting, downloading a different set of drivers entirely, and so on. Nothing worked. Then, one of our students noticed that the 3D printer wasn't plugged into the computer. I had plugged in the USB cable from the monitor instead of the USB cable from the printer, and hadn't noticed. We all had a good laugh about that. I wasn't even embarrassed because that kind of thing happens all the time when I'm teaching in the classroom, and if I had any pride left, I'd have quit and gotten a real job years ago 
So, the fact that it's taken me 4 months to notice the little green dot is par for the course

Yes, I curve generously. I actually like my students and want them to succeed. You'd think everyone would, but you'd be surprised.
I'm green now - I did not even know there was an invisible mode.
And just to let you know - it only works in the virtual world - my wife caught me...

No, we may be out there but we can count. Plus you're not invisible anymore.
Wolf went face down on his keyboard a couple of hours ago,

I have had a lot of schooling - currently hold several degrees / certifications - 2 Masters - all across several different, but interrelated disciplines. I also spent a fair amount of time at the head of the class trying to inspire those in my class. It is not easy, but sometimes they do make you feel appreciated...
I have thought about getting back into it once my project list is down to a manageable size - Now if I can just get my wife from adding new things to it every day... I still love her though...

Now I feel way better!
If ya'll ever want a Statistical Analysis lesson or a Forecasting Methodologies in Today's Logistics World lesson - just let me know - I am there.

It's a good time to get back into it, because the economy is picking up and it's getting harder for schools to find qualified teachers. My department had two openings for full timers, and they had to kick the applications deadline back from 11/21 to 1/5 because they didn't get enough qualified applicants.
After looking at the above posts, I'm zippin it again.
Edit: I'll zip it after this, I'm a PHD. post hole digger
Just, I feel dumb. lol
