Today is the end of a busy week. I’ve been in and out of lots of meetings and there’s been a lot of moving around at our office. Some good things have come of it all. The Mac G4 is now here in the lab instead of being off in what was the conference room. Now that I have it handy, I’ll get to play with it more and will probably do some more design work. David and I worked on some of the lab PCs, and now we have three up and running. I think the others are ready to be surplused, and we’re going to order six brand new ones, so it’s no big loss.
I’ve been trying to move past all the sysadmin work and do some design, but it’s been hard. The U of A rolled out a new email “solution” which has led to lots of work on our end. Almost every time, it’s been the new mail server at fault (and nothing on our end). But it still takes time out of the day to have to check it out every time it goes down and our staff can’t get at their mail.
This is turning into a lot of bitching, which means I should probably find something else to do. :) Not much else is up….
