I can’t believe it took me until January 13th to do my first journal post of the new year, but here it is. Life has been pretty busy lately. Work has mostly consisted of combination of the following:
- experimenting with and/or configuring Commonspot
- planning/training for Active Directory / Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) implementation
- PowerShell experimentation for FIM
- scripting for upgrade of mailman
- scripting for/testing/configuring for upgrade from ancient Twiki to Foswiki
- testing/working on moving FootPrints from Linux servers to Windows servers
There are probably other incidental items. At lunch time, I’ve been hunting digital furry woodland creatures with a good friend. After work, home to the family to rescue Liz’s sanity (I’m not always successful, which is why she escapes with friends).
This year we’re making another attempt at improving finance management by using mint.com. There is some more work to do with it but I think it will work better than the php finance solution I had tried last year. It supports automatic retrieval of transaction info from our bank and has an iPhone/iPod Touch app! There is also of course the efforts to improve our physical fitness. I’d love to go running again but I’m disinclined to try it right now when I’d fall on my rear unless I wear ice cleats (which probably aren’t any fun to run in).
Upcoming post topics … church, geek stuff, Christmas … Final thought … if you could remove one problem from the world (e.g. AIDS, hunger/thirst, etc.) … what would it be?
