travis' brain dump

oh the pain… oh the horror…

so i’m assessing my workload for the next few weeks and looking into the projects which i’ve said i’ll handle. what was i thinking? oh yeah, i really had no choice in the matter, lol all good. so in addition to creating installation packages for FreeBSD (done yay!) and Linux (*GAG!*) i’m creating documentation for each. now keep in mind this is not a hard task, just mundane and irritating. i hate documentation yet find some satisifaction when i complete one…. i’m so odd. i already completed the FreeBSD install paper so next on my list is gathering together all the documentation tidbits from various folks here that have put smaller docs together to make one really huge webcat doc for release to our customers when needed. i love writing MOPDOCS (method of procedure documents for your non-techs).

in other news, the preparation for moving this webserver over to FreeBSD 6.1 is going pretty well. as soon as i finish up with the rest of these blasted perl modules this thing will be ready… hopefully tomorrow i can put it in place. woot!

i’m so glad this week is almost over and its such a shame that the weekend is only 2 days. oh well, all good. humpday at least went pretty good yesterday, i came home a little early due to a power outage at the office and proceeded to get my front and part of my back lawn mowed before it rained. score for me as if i had gotten off at the usual time, rain would have prevented my mowing for the second day in a row. as for the rest of humpday, i was impressed at the calmness and just general relaxation mood that covered us all last night. andy, mark, david, jenn and arwen all did the usual dinner thing and hung out. we were minus mike, ryan and naomi but it was still a good night. andy engrossed himself watching blade the series, which i’ve yet to get attached to but i’m trying to give it a fair trial. david and mark disappeared off somewhere (i think back over to davids house to mix themselves up some drinks) and jenn and i sat downstairs having a pretty good couple hour conversation about various subjects while arwen played and did her happy little kid bouncing around stuff. overall a good evening i’d have to say. ended it off at about 2300/2330,  got everything cleaned up and then i watched a movie for a bit until i went to bed. now its just get through friday for stargate tomorrow and whatever else falls into place over the weekend.

oh yeah.. and for giggles… Matt Damon is the next Captain Kirk. ROFL -> Click Here

1500, two more hours to go… well i’ve got a lot to do so i should drop here… if anything significant occurs, you know where it’ll be. lol
