I was starting to think that I'd be moving the website, since MySQL service was turned off on UIS Acad. The administrator has very kindly turned MySQL back on. So... I made a content backup, right away, and added a few updates. If MySQL stays up, then the site may remain here a bit longer.

Eh... I'm actually in CSC570e this semester. Taking the Unix System Administration class... as the quicker route to actually graduating this decade.

This semester, I'm continuing work on the thesis. This should keep me occupied enough.

Today... I'm creating Ant build scripts, that copy in different configuration files for different web environments. The goal is for a client's change management and revision control administrator to do product builds, for each required environment. Depevelopers shouldn't just be passing an EAR file to that person. That person should be able to do a build from the command line.

Today,
I'm having a dell laptop repaired...
Working on masters thesis proposal...
Installing Suse 10.3 on a spare server
