On eFruits...
Mar. 30th, 2006 08:43 pmAnother good day. The weather was nice. I had to be inside working most of the day, but the thought of good weather was banging around in the back of my brain all day, and that was enough.
I admit I slacked off a bit at work. Oh well... I did make an impulse purchase online, though. I bought an eMate 300 on eBay. Oh, and I was using an eMac at the time. So I bought on eMate off eBay on an eMac.
I should have it in my little hands early next week! Everyone will be so jealous!
I need to start looking for accessories. More memory? A wireless card? Hmm...
On a related subject, anyone want to buy a Sony Clie? Decent Palm OS device. T-665C. Make an offer. No mailing, though, I will only sell locally.
I skipped out of work early (working a full day on Sunday helps justify that) and headed to our local corporate office for a seminar on "Collaborative Video Workflows with Xsan and Final Cut Studio" . I have done some reading on xSan, so it was really interesting to see it actually being utilized. Being able to edit video while it is still being captured (by another computer, even) was really cool. I went with our resident Final Cut guru (Alex, now that you are gone we have to rely exclusively on Tom) which made it all the more interesting. He could appreciate the editing side of things, while I was amazed at the tech side of things.
Our next goals are to roll the xServe out and get that up and running, and to get Qmaster up and running on some of the bigger machines.
Realize these things are completely outside the actual scope of my job, but...
Last week I finished the major coding project I had undertaken. I feel proud to be done (and I went ahead and sent up an email announcing that I had a complete installer and upgrader), but I am now a bit bored at work. The project was always something I could fall back on when things got slow. Now that it is complete, though, I tend to sit around and do nothing instead. I need another project to work on, methinks. (The obvious answer is that I need a job that challenges me, but...)
I suppose this tech fascination makes up for being eternally single.
