summer update
July 29, 2005
Yea its been awhile, and honestly i havent really had the urge to blog about anything. Things have been rather busy lately, at work i been busy automating things on our crappy platform. Things that should have been built into the platform when it was created, but because the people who developed it were not smart at all. I have hacked together stuff using secureCRT and VBScript. So far i have taken two thing thats would have wasted a good half hour to forty fives minutes to due manually and automated them to a point where it takes a less then five minutes to run. I want to go back and develop the scripts some more and possibly add in some logging or error handling. It all depends on how motivated i am about it, and if i am too busy doing shit work. I also started playing with PHP again, going to build a web app at work that handles our shift summaries. The process that we have now is way to goddamn convoluted and it takes forever to put together our end of the shift paperwork. Going to stream line it a bit, build in some sort of reporting, and then figure out how to make it accessible for the execs using Treo’s, i am half tempted to not bother with the second part just to spite them. I was going to do it in Coldfusion, but decided that why bother learning a new server side scripting language, and just stick with what i know.
EDIT: I really need to not blog until i atleast have a pot of coffee in me.
