Holiday for whom? The original plan was to go to Tennessee for the weekend – but fell through. Since I had already requested to take Friday off, I went ahead and took it. But then so did over half my office. I told the boss he could call me if he needed me. I was going to be in front of the computer anyhow. I’ve been trying to try up loose ends on some of “my” projects for weeks now. RuleSphere – www.rulesphere.com – might finally be ready to rollout if we can get past the 800×600 issue and the ugly way too large tan buttons. The Cuba Collectibles www.cubacollectibles.com site needed database conversion done – it was finished up this morning. Even with my goof up of the one database. I still have about five other projects that need finishing. Think I’m caught up on the one I have a serious NDA on – it’s an awesome site – all the graphical design and layout is sent to me, all I have to do is integrate it into Miva Merchant. I spend way to much time monitoring that users group – but they are like family, I can ask anything and not feel stupid. Some users groups can be brutal – even jumping on you about top posting verses bottom posting. I’m a bottom poster, thank you very much.
So while I wait for the next round of outstanding issues, I decided to move the computers around in the office. My desk was right over the AC vent and if you know how cold I get… So now the Mac and my laptop are in the other corner – no more view out the window – Jeff gets the window and the AC.
I think I’m going to reconnect the WAP to the 8 port router. Maybe then I can sit outside and take in some of the nice weather. Yes, I said 8 port; there’s my laptop, the Mac, Jeff’s desktop, his Xbox, the old Gateway (which I just need to scrub the hard drive on), a port for Megan’s iBook when she comes to visit and the WAP.
Don’t get me started on Mac’s and laptops – I would love to have a Powerbook. My laptop is great – it was bought as a desktop replacement when I thought I was going to be taking on some major and we fell into some season football tickets for Tennessee football. The laptop I have is a 17″ Toshiba – the screen on it’s awesome and to say the least got the director of my department promoted to VP. The laptop was hooked up to a plasma screen TV. Using my 17″ wide screen laptop gave me a lot more landscape to work with. Too bad I can’t put those presentations up on the web – the file size is just too large. But I love the laptop even though it does weigh 10 pounds.
Guess you can tell I haven’t been able to post anything in a while – my site is blocked at the day job and when I get home I have so many other things that need tending to. Plus the trip to NYC and then coming down with the UTI – I still don’t feel good and I’ve been on meds since Monday. Pretty ironic, first my daughter starts having problems with UTI’s then my cat, now me. I’m drinking so much water and cranberry juice I’m about to float away.
Oh but anyway…
