Good Work Day

Posted on June 14, 2010 by: Justin Scott 2 Comments

Maybe it's the new mouse.  Maybe it's because it's Monday.  In any case, I'm feeling like I got a lot done today.  Domain renewals.  SSL renewals.  Moved the last remaining sites from an old (ancient) Windows 2000 web server with ColdFusion 5 out to a new home on a virtualized Windows 2008 web server with ColdFusion 8.  Once all of the DNS changes propagate around and we have a snapshot of the old server, that will be one less piece of hardware to manage (not to mention an outdated non-supported OS and ColdFusion version to support).  Hopefully I can shut it down by the end of the week.  I also closed a bunch of support tickets that had been hanging around.  I even brought lunch to save a few dollars and shave off a few calories from my usual intake (have to make up for buying this awesome new mouse).  Now it's time to go home and take some proficiency profile exam for school.  It's not part of the degree program directly, nor does it impact my GPA, but it's mandated by the school that we take it when we're getting close to graduation.  They ask you to block off just over two hours.  I really hope it doesn't take that long.  I have more code to write and projects to get caught up on.  Here's to hoping the productivity carries on at home and I can get everything done that I'd like to get done.

  1. Ahhhh I love days like that. For me feeling accomplished brings about such a wonderful sense of internal balance.

    Regarding this proficiency profile exam...how close are you to graduation?

  2. I have just under a year left. I'm taking December off school for my honeymoon and the holidays and such, so it's pushed back a month. I should be done with classes in April 2011 I believe. Then I regain my freedom.
