Covid-19 Fallout Hurts (Patreon)

So there's this virus running around, locking everything up.  The university has decided, correctly I believe, that it would be foolhardy, to say the least, to go back to face-to-face classes as usual.  This means most of our courses will have to go online.  Now that sounds pretty easy.  Just ask the students.  Clearly online teaching is a lot easier than in person teaching.  Except ... all the notes that you used to be able to fill in from a few lines of powerpoint slides using your experience and memory now has to be put down in PDFs in a lengthy and coherent manner.  Lots and lots of diagrams and pictures, too.  Only one course so far, about 2/3 done and 400+ pages in.  Two full courses and what's left of this one to go before September.  It's amazing how much time that takes.  8-10 hour days, 7 days a week for the past month.  I hope there's something left in the batteries to actually teach the simple courses in September ;-)

Hopefully, I'll be able to get some non-computer science writing and some art done in the next months, too.  Or I'll likely go crazy.
