[253] Amnesty program for Assignment Zero

[Richard Smith <smith@sfu.ca>]

Good evening, 253 students.

We've had some students just join us - late additions from the wait  
list, I guess - and some of you (well, three) didn't realize the  
urgency in my first e-mail about assignment zero and figured you'd do  
it next week. And now you hear that I am being a hard-ass and  
deducting marks!

For all of you... an amnesty program. Get your assignment in, print  
it up (with or without my reply - I reply to all of them), and bring  
it to tutorial. The assignment is simple - you just have to send me a  
*plain text* (no attachments) e-mail (no webCT submissions) - and  
here are the details. If you haven't done it yet, this is your chance!

Assignment Zero is a simple "scavenger hunt" type of assignment. To  
complete this assignment you have to send the instructor an e-mail  
that answers the following questions:

    * What is your name and SFUID?
    * Do you have (or have access to) a digital camera (or mobile  
phone) that can take video clips?
    * Do you use an instant messaging service (MSN, iChat, ICQ,  
etc), and if so which one? If you use more than one, which one do you  
use most often?
    * Do you have a blog or other personal web page (Blogger,  
MySpace?, Xanga, etc)?
    * Do you have a mobile phone, and if so, do you use text  
messaging regularly (more than once a week)?

Once you have sent that e-mail, print up a copy and bring it to your  
tutorial to confirm that it is completed.

Welcome to CMNS 253!
