I started out the day with a service request about the EDsmart form usage. I'm afraid I just don't know what to tell these people except to wait until it's re-written. That would be the best for everyone involved. It's only partially working as it is, and users are just getting frustrated with buttons that don't go anywhere or links that don't work, which I can't blame them. Hopefully I can get something going quickly, but it looks grim.
Due to the focus of last week, I'd become really behind in reviewing my mailing lists, so I spent a bit of time reading through all my security mail backlog. I also have an RSS feed where I keep track of Sun security alerts for our systems, and found a vul with JES Access 7.0, but we're good as we're running 6.
I'm having concerns about my current work load, and met with Bill to discuss these issues. I've been given the duties of security officer, as well as dealing with my programming projects, of which EDsmart is only one. Feeling a bit overloaded, we discussed some options...
- Created edsmart plan to work 10 hours regular and 10 hrs ot a week until done
- Discussed time off, including this Fri and an extended weekend within 3 weeks
- Bill stated he understands that I'm feeling overwhelmed with my current workload
Hopefully things will be a little easier to handle soon.
I also managed to review a great list of recommended security books and followed up with all the contacts I was able to make at INTERFACE.
