The agenda

Things have been so busy with work stuff, social events, and unplanned website issues that a number of half-finished projects are sitting around waiting for me to get to. I hate when that happens. I get stressed when I have projects that are unfinished. So, starting tomorrow (tonight’s the Dave Matthews concert) I’m going to have to get busy with finishing the documentation for the top-secret project for Geek’s top secret new site, loading and testing the Web Album Generator on the laptop, finalizing my after-Gnomedex travel plans, setting up Angela’s new Mac (delivery expected on the 8th!) to work with the wireless access point, trying to study for A+, and trying to spend some time with my wife, all before leaving in just two weeks or so. I’ll have to fit those personal projects around a few social events, but hopefully not too many!

On top of that, there are a number of work projects that need to be completed before the 22nd. I need to upgrade all of our anti-virus software, I need to have final proposals finished for purchasing an XP system to use as a test system, to check for future compatibility issues, for a possible database upgrade, and a possible ISP switch that would involve us hosting our own mail server. (I’m not holding my breath on that one, it’ll cost some serious $$) I need to have a final recommendation on those darn T1 contracts that I’m still behind on. Then I have to have all of the August database work finished for the month on the 21st as well.

So, I’ll be busy. Hopefully the unexpected emergencies are done for a little while, so I can get things caught up again. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Well it defintely seems that our ISP has done some new things with their Spam filtering, but I have no idea what. I just got some things figured out in the last few weeks, like the fact that we couldn’t email anyone coming from an Asian host and they couldn’t email us, but now there’s…

    Lesson Learned – Don’t Leave Things Laying Around

    So you want to have your own website and play around with different tools and technologies? Great, just don’t leave a project sitting too long, bad things happen. Case in point, over on the Child Abuse Survivor site, I had created a sub-domain with it’s own WordPress Multi-User install (back when that was a separate…

  • Segway

    Saw my first Segway today. A cop was riding it through the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Angela actually pointed it out to me, she’s turning into such a good little geek wife. 🙂 Now that I’ve seen one up close, I can honestly say that my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a neat toy,…

    Left the house at 8AM, hit the road to Dayton for the ITEC conference left there at 4, made it home in time to change shirts and head out for a quick dinner on the way to the Columbus Zoo’s member preview of Winter Wildlights. At least the work pager didn’t go off, so at…

  • Time and effort

    It’s been a little while so I had forgotten how much time and effort can go into a job search, especially when you expand it beyond your immediate geographic area. Last night, after working all day, I had dinner and spent a little time with Angela, then sat down to review some of the help…
