Linux at UMKC

It's interesting to note the evolution of the naming conventions at UMKC, from
parsifal, a mythic character to prariedog, a cute nucance, to news/e2k.
I don't believe the news server was ever publicly accessible - the web servers
were the only things that ever saw daylight, and those were under pretty strict
control from Central Communications (make sure the University is presented in
proper dignity and is sufficiently vague about anything it says it can or will
do).
If I knew someone studying Computer Science at UMKC, I would advise them to
change their major to English, with a minor in Business. The ability to
communicate ideas and information clearly to others is the greatest asset you
can bring to any job. Logic, History, and Literature will give you a better
underpinning for code structure than endless hours of details of an obsolete
programming language.
