Yesterday afternoon I went to a gifted meeting at Palatine High School.
These days, it's unusual to be in a group where there are so few technologically enthusiastic people. Of the twelve people in the group, there was only one gentleman who admitted to being able to create "rudimentary" (his words, not mine) websites. I didn't outwardly offer my skills at the onset, because as a new member of the group, I was still feeling out the dynamics.
Towards the end of the meeting, the problem of student abstracts was brought up, and the fact that it was becoming a major chore to get all of them into the same formatting. It was difficult to get all of the mentors listed as "Mr. John Doe" or Mrs, or Ms, or whatever it was supposed to be, never mind getting the school spelled right, or even the font size and face the same.
I suggested a web form that would be filled out, and would collate the data into a nice, pretty database.
Why do I do that to myself?
Long story short, I created the web form, and it is now posted here in all of it's random red glory.
