I will be able to have more forms more interaction and that should make it more user friendly with more to do and integrate with other sites you may use.
Stay tuned!
What a Friday! Okay first my Friday started with me going to bed late after working on my freshly installed system that had me manipulating the file system structure as mentioned in a previous post ( http://www.dhoytt.com/mainblog/archives/2010/12/resize-switch-dynamicallyextended-logical-volume-successfully.html ). I worked on that anticipating a fairly easy day since I had gotten a lot prepped the evening before for the IT project I was working on downtown a relatively short drive from my house.
The first event happened in the morning I have been working on redoing my loan on this house so in the morning around 6am I had to make that call and try to get it out of the way. This of course took forever and I had to rush to get ready and get to work.
The short drive to downtown Sacramento from the Northgate/South Natomas area in Sacramento turned rather long as I got off on Q street they had that blocked off looking for a gunman on a building with a rifle I was told as I took the detour from a person getting out of a local news van. I know Sacramento very well from my partying, hitting the old cruises on J street, Old Sac, Broadway, Franklin, Bird Cage on Sunrise boulevard etc. and the fact that I had jobs that took me all over the place in town and out of town.
So I went around the blockade and parked in another parking garage and walked to the building I was performing the project at, and signed in with security. I noticed a lot of people in the atrium and figured they were having another holiday party or get together. I went up to the floor I was working on and noticed not many people around and started my laptop and remote logged into my servers I was using to scan the customers network
I was doing my checks of processes and getting into setting up the final process of scanning their network when someone comes in and starts saying anyone left in this side of the building has to leave this area because of the gunman they were looking for was adjacent to the building I was working in!
Cool I started packing my stuff and putting my coat and hat back on so I could leave go to the office and come back when this was done and then was told I couldn't leave the building either since they didn't want extra people out walking around while they searched for this person. Now I'm wondering why didn't they stop me a few minutes ago from even coming in the building! Now I'm stuck!
Well I went down to the cafeteria and ate some breakfast drank coffee and tried to find out if there was anyway to log in to the servers from anywhere in the building. After a while I gave that up and started chatting with a former manager from another place I worked previously and customers from another floor I had worked with earlier this week and at another of their sites in Sonoma, California a week ago.
Hours later when we can get back to work of course a few other issues raise their heads that extends the scan time even more and will take that into the evening. Well I had to leave so I make arrangements to pick the equipment up later next week since I will be out of town in the beginning of the week. This also has the potential to impact the projects I have lined up later this month.
I then get my mail when going home and the court had screwed up the trial dates I had setup earlier in the week and they sent the original screwed up date out. I'm still hoping they correct that since on my initial paperwork I can prove that I had said I was out of town on that date. Now I have to go online to insure they have made the change as they said they would. They mailed this notice out the day I went to correct the issue but I showed up the last part of the day Tuesday and the notice was mailed that day and the clerk correcting her friends mistake told me she would mail the corrected date the next day which was Wednesday so I can only hope that takes place!
The next issue I didn't notice because I was contemplating these other events which was that the power had gone out in the area and rebooted my servers! I noticed when I looked at my microwave and it had no time! I had been home for a while when I noticed this and came upstairs right away! I knew all of my servers would come up and start the web, blogs, gallery, E-commerce but not the music stream. I came upstairs and got the music streaming and corrected some database issues.
Oh yeah and I had to finalize my traveling arrangements for the next two weeks that may get changed because of some of the events I mentioned in this post!
Then I also spoke to my mother an she informed me that some family friends had passed so there will be consecutive memorials the next couple of weeks, danged!
In the days mail I had some other paperwork come that I was asking for when starting the day @ 6am. I still need to build a system really quick for a friend (I only do this for one or two people) so the day isn't even close to being over!
May have even made some contacts during the time they had us in the building today and they caught the guy as well, I mean the guy was not close to where they were looking or as menacing considering the effort but oh well! Check the Sacramento news sites for this day to see the story.
Well there you have it the good and bad of an eventful but productive day!
First Congratulations to the 2008 Grant Pacers
