Conversions, as ever
Today I completed the migration of the RSC Desk tools into WOUPortal.
Todo:
RA tools (1 left)
OUR tools (5 left)
Timesheet also needs an overall, but since I'm not changing the CSS and it's not going in the portal, I'll probably do it during winter break. There's less people around anyway.
Bradford is coming along. Redwolf's days are numbered. Kinda...
Computrition migration is still bumpy. Oracle 10g server seems to have some weird kinks. We'll have to work them out on the next test server. Kinda irritating. Oh well, next time we'll do it right.
Online App has a 10/1 deadline for some stuff. But 2 of the 3 big (4 total) upgrades are tremendously unlikely. So i'm breathing easier now.
Just an uncommon project for Bradford (as per Travis).
And a new project: eDeli
Online lunch ordering at it's best. Eventually.
Busy month. We'll probably turn on Bradford next week. Once we put out the fires from those sparks, move-in should be a snap.

WOUPortal Conversions
I'm still migrating apps into the WOUPortal. The RSC, RAs and OUR all have applications that I'm moving (one by one) into the new CSS and security. So far so good.
I have, as best as I can tell, the code and information I need to do everything I want to do to the Portal, except one. However, as what I'm doing is still 'top secret' I won't describe them here.
Overall I've been pleased. I still have quite a few days of conversions, but each one is something to check off my list, and a little closer to really being able to use the WOUPortal.

My Blog is like totally lagging...
I just realized that it has really been awhile since I last blogged. I've tried to be very faithful in my bi-weekly blogging, but for some reason I seem to have forgotten all last week, and this week so far. Not that I'm gonna write 4 this week to make up for it...
It seems like blogging can be a very healthy place/way to express one's feelings, thoughts and victories/defeats. I think it's nice that people are willing to share a little of themselves in their Blog - whether it be what home projects they are working on during the summer (ah, home improvement) or just thoughts from their day.
For instance, I've noticed quite a few of us have been doing home improvment projects. This month, my wife and I are hoping to paint the downstairs (inside) of our house. White is clean and bright, but not soft or particularly warm. We are going to be using a two-tone feel with maroon and beige (2 opposite walls of each). I told me wife I'd buy her a new fridge if she painted - so she's pretty into it right now.
Some landscaping is also on the agenda, as I have a pretty big yard and lots of grass to take care of. I weeded a good third of it this last weekend, but there is still much to do. Primarily this month I'm hoping to 'trim the edges' of my yard by putting a one foot border (black plastic wall, with weedpaper and gravel) between the grass and the house. I can use that work to estimate how much it costs per foot, so I know what to budget for the whole yard. I probably have 300 feet of trim to do, so it's no easy project. I'm gonna start with about 30 feet, and see if it's what I want.
Finally, during StaffDev this morning Ross and Dale trekked across the long plains of WOU to visit John and I and help little old me with a bug. I'd been trying to get a schema to run some code, but couldn't do it. They came over and as I explained the problem to them I figured it out (as ever). So we talked about shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings...
