Hi, my name is Summertime
May 13th, 2008
The campus was pretty stale today after work.
So, I know it’s summer when the campus starts acting a lot less lively. I’ve been here four years, and each summer the campus goes through this, I miss it being all crazy, all the time.
Although me and my friends boredom, outside of work, has got us hanging out again, which is a nice change.
Coding Away
Goofing off, the only way to code. That’s Renee, in the back, with all her paper :)
I think I mentioned before about how much time I’d be spending working on the Cobweb project. Already I’ve been spending 6-8 hour days working on it.
We had a meeting this morning with the lady in charge of working with the College Executive Committee, and already they’re excited to see what’s coming out of me and Renee’s office.
We have a lot of work to do this summer, the site is going to be an intense platform/application; meeting the most up-to-date standards, working well with the rest of the university, mingling well with content management systems and publishing software. It’s hard to think such a massive piece of work will be coming out of my little lappie (laptop).
Me, mighty mouse and my trusty lappie at work.
I’m trying to develop the site to be as much self managing as possible, letting anyone publish content at will, while the website does all the nasty work in the background. And, I don’t think they quite get how complex everything is, and so they’re rushing our already ‘pushing it’ December deadline.
But, as always, I plan to stand my ground and focus on quality work.
Tennis
Soo and James at the Tennis Center on another windy day. May 12th 2008
I haven’t been spending a lot of time at the NMSU Tennis Center since my arm getting better, it’s been windy day after day. My arm was at about 70%, this morning hitting with Jason, preparing for a match tomorrow.
Although he almost got past me today, me winning 7-5, I was crippled :)
I also haven’t been off to a good start on my goals for the summer, especially the one where I’m going to work out like a beast and get in shape for some tournaments. But, I’m working on that; if they would just quit bringing cake to the office, you know I have to have at least two slices!
Home Life & Travel
Walking along the bike trail. Travis, Las Cruces, NM
Oh, and I’ve also been walking everywhere since my bike was stolen.
So, I’ve been getting in a little extra excersize for all the wretched snacking going on at my casa.
Chips from left over Taco Shells and Baileys Salsa
So, I thought I’d throw a summer update out there. Actually I was bored, but it just proves my point!
