Well, judging from the image you already know what this is going to say. This is what I want to change this year.

Eat Healthier: This is something I need to do. I have high blood pressure and I’m over weight, hrmmm, no brainier. I will go ahead and throw in exercise in there for good measure. If I am to go for it, might as well go big.

Write More: I recently saw an article on AnAndTech wanting more columnist. I thought to myself, I would love to do that. In order to do something like that I need to write more. Doesn’t have  to be about tech, but just more. The only way I will get better is by doing, and im sure anyone reading this gets tired of the pasted content, and the hrmmm’s and ughhh’s. Write more, and get better.

Do the Podcast: A couple of years ago now I started a podcast called NerdNews Weekly, the weekly only lasted 3 weeks and it died. I want to revive it in video form. I have all the equipment and no more excuses, time to just do it. Might not start off weekly, but I want to bring it back.

Get Organized: This just effects everything about me, I am an unorganized person. I will start off with my worklife, them move into my personal which will bleed into my OpenSource/Web life. Time to get organized and start giving back to the community more.

There you have it, what to expect from me this year. Hope I’m up for it.

Chris…

Nice Work Verizon.

Driving to the office:

2 Emails, 1 Blackberry Message, and a phone call all informing me that one of the exchange servers is down. FANTASTIC ! It is Monday.

8:00AM:

All of the mail stores on the 4th exchange server are dismounted. Why, who knows, nothing in the event viewer, your guess is as good as mine. This little hiccup only took out 6 Campuses, probably around 2000 mailboxes. Thanks Microsoft. Oh and BTW Chris, certificate expires tomorrow. Oh well, add it to the list, at least stores are mounted now.

8:10AM:

Filemaker server is down. I HATE FILEMAKER!!! This is on an old PowerMac G4 just look at it below. The only thing this server is good for is pissing people off. With I could rid the infrastructure of this piece and the “lasso” that holds the old site together.

9:15AM:

Common Dell, sending the wrong battery and claiming it will fit, we just need to try it. You be the judge, does it fit? I didn’t think so. Rodney, we all make mistakes, just send the correct battery and lets move on.

9:30AM:

Ok, looks like i need to recruit some bigger guns, Exchange 2003 says it does, says it doesn’t support UC certificates. Really need an answer and soon, did I mention certificate expires tomorrow.

9:31AM:

Word of advice vendors, when I say I love the product, QUIT CALLING everyday! I already like it, you are just annoying me at this point. I have many many many things I am juggling, your phone calls do not need to be one of them.

10:20:AM:

How does it make sense in Outlook 2007 that when you select a contact and click delete it deletes the whole distribution list. Lucky you can pull the names out of a prior sent message.

10:30AM:

The guy I was needing help from just walked by my office. QUICK ! ! ! Grab Him ! ! !

11:00AM:

Got some good information form him, Exchange 2003 does support UC certs, Outlook 2003 isn’t a big fan of them though.

12:00PM:

All is quiet in the place, no other issues have reared their heads. The guy i needed help from is going to go ahead and renew the certificate on there now, so email doesn’t break, and we will work on using the UC Certificate later. Watching a video on it HERE while I wait to go to lunch.

12:20PM:

Still waiting to go to lunch, had time to call the AC guy for the house, A-Coil leaks all the coolant out. Makes for a wonderful Texas night.

1:00PM:

Screw it, I’m hungry, going to Subway. Eat Fresh!

SUBWAY® is a registered trademark of Doctor's Associates Inc.

2:00PM:

Codian IPVCR started screwing up again. This is just about a daily, I mean, this is a daily occurrence now. Want to know what a 409 Terabyte file looks like?

That’s what one looks like, and the best part, it wont delete. That is one way to hose a storage system.

3:30PM:

Still do not have that certificate replaced, time is running out. I am at the mercy of that guy from earlier, as I do not have the account to renew it. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, I have till noon tomorrow till 8000 people start calling helpdesk.

4:30PM

File finally got removed, took up 639 gig on my NFS server. WOW! In the words of the wise Eric Cartman, “Screw you guys, I’m going home.”
