I’ve been super busy at work. We’re down to two different HIS & PM vendors. In the last month I’ve been to Minnesota and Wisconsin on site visits. The committee to chose the software finalist will be meeting in 2 short weeks. I’ll be glad when we finally pick somebody.
I moved the site back to a physical server. P4 @ 3Ghz, 1GB, W2K8, PHP, MySQL…. running two 1 Terabyte drives in a RAID 1 configuration. I’m using the server as a remote backup for my home network too.
I’ve had the site down for quite a while. I served my blog via VMWare workstation on my work machine. I recently moved into a HP 8440P notebook so I could take my work home with me. Needless to say, notebooks aren’t powered up 24/7. I used VMWare Converter to throw the server onto our ESX server at work. I also have a nice static IP now since I’m running off a dedicated Comcast Business grade Internet account.
Anyway. Site is back up for now. Activity, no activity. It’s still here. 
EMO CLEARENCE!!! All emo must go!

For those that know me, I’m kind of an ass. Delete me if you think this post is Emo.
It has been quite a year and as you can tell, I haven’t had much time for updating blogs. It seems like I have more projects at work than I can count. I’m having to delegate things to the other guys.
So far the new wireless connection is running great. I have the folks that live at the grain tower location connected and still need to get two more hooked up. I just did a quick test copying from my work machine to my machine here at home… 28Mbps average. Speakeasy gives the Internet speed at 22Mbps. Next spring I’ll upgrade the first portion of the link to 5.8Ghz and the rest of the radios to 2.4Ghz 802.11n gear. That should get me around 80Mbps to the desktop.
I also picked up a Droid last month. I’d been using a Windows Mobile phone but the battery was dying and it was 5 years old. The Droid is very awesome.
