This morning i gave a presentation to the NC State Delta Summer Institute about “NC State Students have gone google…what does it mean for you.” This was a teacher/instructor’s institute, so i was looking forward to hearing from them how they are intending on using Google Apps in the classroom, and also how much they [ Read More ]

Today was the start of a new task force/committee at work. This one is to decide on the next email system at NC State for Employees. We’ve already decided that Google is going to be the system for students, but now we need to figure out if it will work for employees. Anyone who knows [ Read More ]
Today i spent the day at UNCG (University of North Carolina at Greensboro for you Aussies), for a meetup of some of the colleges and universities who have deployed Google Apps at their institutions. It was a pretty good mix of people who attended, but we (NC State) definitely took the most people. Out of [ Read More ]
Today i realized….well….i more fully understood…..how much work i am not going to get done this week. I was very productive yesterday, and today too (barring one staff meeting), but i realized that tomorrow i’ll be out of town all day at a Google Apps Users Group at UNCG (for North Carolina schools that deployed [ Read More ]
Today….well…not much to say about today. It was a regular monday. The only thing that really stood out is that some of the things i’ve been working on (applications) seem to be crystalizing in my head a little better now. I don’t have to copy-paste as much code as i used to, and find myself [ Read More ]
Today was a truly lazy Sunday. I woke up later than i wanted to, but luckily i had set the Tivo for that possibility. I fast-forwarded through the first 45 minutes of the Italian soccer match between Inter Milan and Siena, and then watched the last half in real time. It was the last game [ Read More ]
Today I went to a plant nursery here in Apex to look at their selection for hedges/trees that would work as a privacy fence. I was impressed with the selection and the prices, but couldn’t really figure out what the right ones to buy were for our needs. Basically we’re looking to fill about 50 [ Read More ]
Maybe it’s because it’s friday. Maybe it’s some kind of punishment for not being in the office on Monday or Tuesday. Whatever the reason…today took FOREVER to end. I had two meetings this morning, back to back, which took a chunk of time…and as we all know…time slows down exponentially when you have back-to-back meetings. [ Read More ]
Melody is training for a 5K run, so she’s motivated to get out there and run a little (or maybe a lot) every day. I’m on my way back into the groove for that too, but the one thing she’s got us doing, is taking a walk after dinner. I kind of like it too….it’s [ Read More ]
Today was my first day back in the office after being out on Friday and Monday for Vegas, and then working from home on Tuesday. I don’t know what it is about being away, but things always seem to click a little more when i get back in the office. Code worked the first time [ Read More ]
