The good answer now...
I was always taught as an engineer, along with other (sometimes clichèd) proverbs that a good answer now beats a better answer later. Well, now is the time for the good answer: school is out and I have to keep busy through the summer. Here's what I'm up to as far as I know today:- Developing a (brief) plan for ESL services. The current population of adult English-language learners has grown to the point where there are enough potential customers for academic and professional English-language training to keep just about everyone who offers that service busy. I just got through making a formal proposal for TCNJ to offer such services to its own students -- something the College has never done. I believe they are 50-50 to adopt my recommendations, and even at that will not reach out to the community with what to me is a proven money-maker. So why should I not take my own advice?
- Assisting Juterphusion with the next generation of its business plan. They have not written a new one since going into business, and I attribute this to being too busy with... well, going into business. So I will write it.
- Assisting Holcombe Chassis Works with the next generation of its business plan and performing a series of load and stress calculations on the new chassis design. A small business can't afford finite element analysis code, so it has to make assumptions: namely, treating the chassis as a loaded beam. That assumption can lead to stress calculations happening in a spreadsheet -- one that can be updated later without my help.
