We extend belated (some extremely belated) print congratulations
to the following proud parents: |
Our regular lives in Halifax (that is, when we don't have any
company) are really pretty regular. David gets up every morning
and walks to Dal to work. His work day is filled with research
(programming experiments on his computer, meeting with other professors,
analyzing data and writing reports) and teaching (preparing lectures/labs
and meeting with his TA and students). Trudy gets up every day
and walks across the hall to work. Her day is filled with E-mail,
web-surfing, making web pages, learning how to use new software
and other miscellaneous computer stuff. We have both been working out quite regularly. Trudy plays basketball in the women's league once a week, tries to play pick-up basketball at Dal on the other weekdays |
and squash on the weekends. Dave plays a little more squash and
also swims. We have started entering squash tournaments as well
which has turned out to be a lot of fun. Trudy has finished 1st,
2nd, 2nd and 3rd in her tournaments so far. David has just begun
on the tournament circuit. Trudy hopes to enter the Atlantic Open
this year. It's being held in New Brunswick and we plan to be
driving by on our way home from Toronto just in time for the tournament. Our friends are mostly graduate students at Dal, which is different because, for the most part, they're quite a bit younger than we are. There are also 7 Crofton Alums currently enrolled at Dal and Trudy has either taught or coached every one. It's nice to have familiar faces around when you're far away. |

| We're coming to Toronto very soon. We're driving and will be in town for Passover (April 10-18). We haven't decided on exact dates yet, but we'll let you know when we do. | ||||||||

program designs a survey and sets it up to run on the Web. It then collects and organizes the survey results for you. Billy had an excellent piece of software, but no time to put into its marketing. That's where MohSho Interactive Multimedia came in. Trudy overhauled his website including giving it a face-lift and adding a lot of content like help pages and tutorials. She also did extensive testing of the new survey editor that was recently put online. After getting things on the website up to speed, Trudy turned her attention to marketing. The first job was to get the site indexed properly with the search engines (ie. Yahoo, Excite, etc.) so that potential customers could find | us. Next, she designed a banner and bought some web advertising.
You can see an example of the banner ad on Trudy's skeleton of a website . The last step was to design and place some print advertising,
which Trudy was on the absolute verge of doing when Billy went
and sold his company! Trudy learned a lot (she didn't even know
HTML when she started!) and gained valuable experience while working
on WWW Survey Assistant, and even made a little bit of money while
she was at it. But now, it's back to Plan A. Trudy will let you all know when the MohSho website is looking cool. In the meantime keep your eyes and ears open for anyone who needs a webpage designer! |

| The original plan was to ease into the new business by surfing the web, creating a snazzy website with all the bells and whistles and just generally learning as much as possible. However, Plan B went into affect because MohSho Interactive Multimedia secured its first (and only) client as soon as the new computer was delivered. One of the PhD students in David's lab at Dalhousie, Billy Schmidt, sells a software product called WWW Survey Assistant. To use the program, you go to the S-Ware website. Here you input questions you'd like to use for a survey, then the | ||||||||
