* Have an iPhone or iPod touch and Google Calender?

Posted on December 12th, 2008 by mdl. Filed under Geek Stuff, Updates.


Awesome Pete tipped me off to a new service from startup NuevaSync.  The service essentially enables you to use your Google Services (gmail – which I don’t think is working yet, gcal, and contacts) via the Microsoft Exchange integration on the iPhone or iPod touch.

I enabled the calendar syncing and it works beautifully!  It automagically syncs (wirelessly) with all of the calendars that I have “write” rights to, meaning my calendar as well as Diana’s.  I’m sure it will work better when Google gets it to gether and does it themselves and doesn’t make me go through a third party.  But for the time being, this works fine for me :-)

The new dashboard in WordPress 2.7 is awesome! Happiness is a quality admin gui, always remember that.

* Where have I been?

Posted on December 12th, 2008 by mdl. Filed under Updates.


My feed reader is clogged with unread junk.  None of my podcasts download anymore because I have not listened to them recently.  I have not updated this here blog in quite some time.  My camera is picketing the front of my house for some lovin.

Simply said, school district pre-Christmas Break = frazzled.  The last few days kinda built up to yesterday turning into a heads down day…  I tucked my head down and ran into my workorders like a linebacker.  Luckily I got a handful done so hopefully I can concentrate on the other big projects looming over my head.

Yesterday I could feel my heart beat all day long, I don’t think that was good for my already bad blood pressure.  Towards the end of the day I just cloooosed my door, flipped on some Chris Boti and that seemed to calm me down.  When I die, “Time to Say Goodbye” will be playing on repeat in the background…..

* Network madness

Posted on December 8th, 2008 by mdl. Filed under Updates.


We are converting from a Novell Network to mixed network with Microsoft.  We had some consultants build out some active directory synchronization and now its off to the races joining machines to the domain.  To bad its a slow painstaking process moving over every user’s documents and settings to the new machine profile.

Like a galloping herd of turtles we press onward.

I’m pretty anxious for this week to get rolling.  This morning I have an ultrasound to get a looksee at my Gall Bladder, and Wednesday I get to talk to my family doc to see what the heck is going on with me.  That is a positive, the negative is my blood pressure was high again during the whole ordeal last week…  Not good.

So you can imagine my angst to get this week over with.
