11:03 PM - Ugh...

I actually caught someone trying to pass off a wiki entry as their own that I wrote tonight.  I edited the page to correct the "problem".  It looked like that person was doing the same thing to other people in the class.  The funny thing is that I and most other people have been using the author box properly so there is an audit trail to see who created the original work. Plus at least in my case, I have static IP addresses at home so that can also validate my edits.  70.91.226.201-206 are mine.
I just can't believe someone would do that.  At first I thought that person confused author and edit but that is not the case.   The wiki entry assignment isn't very fun and I could see how it would be difficult for some people.  I also arguably grabbed some of the easier entries since I started on it promptly.  I also found it interesting that most people don't have their wiki entries done yet.  I saw two or three people other than myself that had started working on it seriously.  I'm having trouble keeping up with them as well.  Two classes will do that to you. 

In my case, I'm behind on the flowerpot essay.  I have to write that tomorrow.  I just don't have the energy tonight.  On the upside, I'm caught up with eng328 and I've got wiki stuff current for 444.
