Well, as I won't be here tomorrow, I figured I'd wrap up what I've been dealing with for the past couple days and then get ready for my much needed long weekend.
Yesterday morning I spent between dealing with EDsmart and finishing up some small projects cluttering up my desk. I went over the edsmart priority list provided my Kimber and then reviewed all the edsmart tables for form building... there are a LOT of them! This was all in preparation of our (Bill and I) meeting in the afternoon with Hilda and Kimber. I also completed my laptop rebuild and returned it to Trisha, and then modified Thunderbird (which is the BEST email reader) with new security settings and extensions so I can view all my security mailing lists and emails within the single window.
Our meeting didn't go as well as we all hoped, since the project is so large and it's just not complete or logically written, so it really requires a re-write. Not surprising, there was disappointment in the progress of edsmart considering it had been worked on (not by me) for the past three years! Bill and I explained our plan we reviewed yesterday, but was nixed due to the OT and the lack of funds. This probably means I'll be working solely on this project for awhile. I'll meet again with Kimber Monday to review all forms that are not complete or functional.
This morning, I went over my email, with a particularly difficult one concerning EDI. Apparently there were some issues last week and I flew past in my focus on EDsmart, and didn't even realize there was a problem. Nathan is having problems with OUS high school transcripts and TSPC and he wanted a status update... obviously there was nothing to report, as I didn't have time to work on this at all last week. With this current project in my lap and a top priority placed on it, I'm not sure when I'll be able to work on EDI problems. I also received email from Bob Seay from NCA following up on the RSA install, that I have yet to be able to implement.
I've managed to update the faculty list for EDsmart and only have College of Ed faculty in the list, where before it was every faculty member on campus. Not sure why that was the case, but it's cleaned up now.
In between banging my head on my desk while attempting to figure out the EDsmart code, I was also asked to get an SSL certificate for slider. As I need an CSR created from the application that will use the cert, Ron sent me one. Unfortunately, it stated the CSR was invalid, so Ron's looking into possible issues, and will get back to me.
Well, I'm off! I'm going to spend tomorrow thinking about absolutely nothing, just like a blond should ...
