Crazy case of déjà-vu today involving e-mails. Strange. Must be The Matrix fixing itself…
All the professional staff is at their annual planning conference the rest of this week, so the staff in the building did a food day. Everyone either brought something in or pitched in money for food (I helped to purchase a sandwich ring and a pie). The food was great, and it was a lot of fun to get everyone (just about) together to eat.
Over the three day weekend, my plant didn’t do so well, but I gave it some water and it bounced right back. I’m going to need to get a new pot for it, it seems a bit cramped, but otherwise, it’s doing well. I still don’t have a name for him (I think it’s a him), but for now, that’s ok with me.
I’ve been assigned a big project at work, and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to go about it. The project involves updating a lot of documents and making them all available for internal use. I want to make it sustainable and easily fixable, so right now I’m trying to think a little outside the box and in a Web 2.0 fashion…a wiki. It needs more thought and I don’t even know if we can do it (we don’t really have an intranet at work, just a national intranet), so I’m not sure if its feasible, but we’ll see…
Joomla finally released version 1.5 (on my brother’s birthday no less, not that he uses it, but happy birthday to him!). I’ve been waiting for this release since June, and I did some beta testing with it, and overall I like it, although I’m very apprehensive about switching my site over, mostly due to the extensions and plug-ins that I have working (I’m looking at you book review system that took me like forever to get working somewhat right but now I’m too scared to fiddle with because I know you’ll stop working completely). So sometime in the future, my site will be going down for a bit while I switch it over. I’ll alert everyone in advance (I know, my millions and millions of readers) and hopefully it will be painless and quick.
Well that’s it for now, catch everyone later!
