Going back to work tomorrow after a week at home. The week really flew by but Cathie is back on her feet and doing very well. Cathie’s sister Barbra also went in for surgery last week so I spent most of the week in two different hospitals. I have a lot of work related projects pending, however I spent most of my free time this past week on projects for me.
Kevin’s Projects:
I upgraded our group laptop from Vista to Windows 7 and it really made a difference. The laptop is a Dell 430 which is not a netbook but it is a small Laptop with a small slow drive and 1.5 gig of ram. Vista really dragged it down so I wiped the drive and installed Windows 7 Beta. After installing Windows 7 everything worked. I did not have to go to Dell to get the drivers because everything just worked and worked well. Now that is a change for Microsoft.
My second project was to move my Techmgr.net and Syadmin.net blogs off of Typepad onto WordPress. I chose Dreamhost as a hosting provider and moved my Sys Admin blog with little trouble. Next I spent a couple of nights looking for the right theme that would work for my Techmgr.net blog and eventually found one that I liked and could customize. I move my Techmgr.net blog this morning and everything looks great.
I have not finished my third project which is to update my Open Web and the Enterprise SlideShare presentation with new thoughts and perspective. This is still in process but coming soon.
So, it’s back to work tomorrow …
