Busy and Mexico
Fri, 2006-04-07 18:24 — jrearick
This week has been uber busy and that made it feel really long.
Over the weekend the MUG server went down. Both drives in the mirror have failed, and I have been trying to recover the data all week. Right now there are no mailing lists, and I have a small informational site hosted on my server to let people know about LANFEST, VEISHEA, and the server problems. We are discussing perhaps getting a new server or buying new drives and possibly a hardware RAID solution as well as implementing drive monitoring and a real off-the-server backup solution.
I am also starting work on three more group projects on top of the semester-long group project for 432. I need to research policies and treaties affecting hunting and fishing for the Ojibwa tribe by Sunday for a presentation on Tuesday. I also have a research project to work in in the next week about motivating retail employees for English, and an entire web site (admin system, and all) due by the end of the semester. I almost have the system for Kim's site done, but this week has prevented me from working on that. Only three more weeks of classes (2 weeks of projects) and then finals.
LANFEST is tonight. I'm not expecting very many people to show up, but whatever. Without being able to announce it on the mailing list and having to plan for VEISHEA stuff as well as the server issues, AmesMUG is doing a lot of work.
Last night at MIS Club, Earns and Young came to talk about their technology risk auditing division out of Des Moines. From what I gathered from the presentation, it seems like a very cool job. I will probably be pursuing that, and other job opportunities starting this Summer.
Speaking of summer. Gaila and I will be going to Mexico the week after finals. We will be going as part of the cultural immersion trip organized by the ULC.
In other news, I have registered myself to go to WWDC again in August. Colin is registering to go as well as a few other people who are seriously considering it.
