I actually talked to anney on the phone today … she decided she’d like some ‘puter boxes to ship her computer to HI. I hope she decided I’m worthy of chit-chatting with over a meal or something before she leaves. I haven’t had a chance to talk to her in quite a while. I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to visit her and zason over there … but we’ll see. I’m glad we had nice weather today, though I could have done without the snow this evening. Icky. I stayed at work later than normal so that I could start burning Dance Theatre DVDs and get some computers set up for a donation to a school that one of our former employees is consulting for. I also did some testing on some laser printers … one of which I think is going to end up at my parents’ place for their usage, since we can’t really use it at work anymore due to the connection type it uses.
This morning we had yet another email group meeting. This was the second one trying to decide what email clients to support. We have made a preliminary decision to use Outlook Express, having ruled out Outlook with the Corporate Time calendar connector as something that would be at risk of breaking in the future, since the connector that makes it work with our new calendaring system is a hack. So now we’re doing research to make sure OE will work correctly in our email environment.
My license tabs for my truck still haven’t arrived. Grumble. They better arrive before Sunday because I’m planning on going up to my parents for a visit and it would be good to be able to put the new tabs on my old 4Runner so that they can drive it again.
Oh…. another bathroom pet peeve … guys who seem to think they have good enough aim that they don’t need to lift the toilet seat. Is it all that hard? We were reduced to one toilet in the basement of the library today because some guy decided to be “untidy” and the other toilet was … well … I’ll just say I didn’t want to use it.
I did a bit more work on the new dance theatre website tonight. It’s not on the UWRF server yet and the site isn’t complete, but I hope to have it finished and uploaded by the end of the week. By the way … for those who aren’t aware, we’re having our spring concert in a few weeks and I encourage anybody who is reading this (and those who aren’t) to try to attend. It’s Dance Theatre’s biggest fund-raiser and the money goes towards the production and other DT activities. I especially encourage those who are of the opinion that Dance Theatre is just for artsy folks. /end of shameless plug.
I’m looking forward to the weekend. Nice weather should make it very enjoyable. Heck, even if it rains I think I’ll be happy.
Well, time for sleep. I was pretty energetic today, but I doubt that will be the case tomorrow, ‘cuz it’s already past my bedtime. It’s one of the few reasons it would be nice to live closer to work … shorter commute.
