Converting docs

The following is a paper I wrote for my last philosophy class in college, a long long time ago in the Spring of 2009. The class was devoted to the correspondence between Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: leibniz and Samuel Clarke, a supporter of Isaac Newton. newton

It has been a while so I don’t entirely remember what the paper is about, but I think it has something to do with Leibniz’s philosophical foundations for physical science, and how it appears in a prominent debate with a Newtonian.

I have posted the document in various file formats. I began with a markdown version of my document, and converted it to html, docx, odt and a pdf by using the following bash script

Organizing Data

In my Tools for Information Literacy Class we were assigned the task of creating a questionnaire that responds to user input and stores data (a user’s answers to the questionnaire) in a database. Working as a team (team1), two of my fellow classmates and yours truly devised the following bash script that generates a CSV file of the answers given by the respondent(s): CSV bash script.

We then added to the script so that when a user finishes the questionnaire, a mysql database is generated to store the user’s answers. The information from this database is also stored in a newly created .sql file. Here is that mysql questionnaire bash script.

To sum up, the final script generates a questionnaire, responds to answers given to the questionnaire, and then stores those answers in a CSV file, mysql database and sql file.

Using reveal.js

For an assignment in my Tools for Information Literacy Class a classmate and I created a presentation using reveal.js. With reveal.js we created an visual and audio presentation of the Aesop fable “Belling the Cat”. Here is a link for your viewing pleasure.
