Bob's off at his first Friday night footbal game of the season. He'll be gone every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for the next 6-8 weeks. Some Tuesdays too. I miss him, but it's kind of nice to have the house to myself too ( Read more... )

I understood all those words that you wrote in the Oracle/Java section and WOW. I'm super-irritated about the geek bike ride 'friend'. Then I'm commiserating about not finding about about the alias since April since shit happens. And then the IT overreaction which yes, I can totally see them doing? Ugh! What's funny is that Oracle emails are totally out on listservs everywhere, so are SAP emails, and Motorola emails, and blah blah blah. OMG.

Seriously. Most of the "violations" were people who posted their own emails, so people can contact them and stuff.

The thing I have realized, and that I really from the bottom of my soul do not want to take leadership on, but probably will have to, is that I need to campaign for a separate set of IT rules for open source sites, otherwise this is going to keep happening. And then I think about when I'll have any time to do such a thing, and it's looking like February 2013. It's nuts.

Oh man, the first two work things made my blood run cold. There's so much involved in meetings, no matter the size, and rescheduling them is such a nightmare! I was never on that end of things but the job I left when I moved to Canada last year, I worked with meeting planners and one of the things they used our software for was scheduling and functions/facilities/vendor stuff. We had a 5 day long meeting in Ft. Lauderdale for about 10,000 attendees that had to be rescheduled a month before it happened due to a hurricane one year and oh God. The meeting planner, who was one of the most cool calm collected women I knew, about had a nervous breakdown dealing with it all. My end of things just involved our software so thankfully it was much less painful for me, other than discovering all the stupid ways our homegrown software had hard-coded dates in a ton of places that I kept finding ( ... )

Thanks! I've re-read my journal from the beginning once or twice too. There is so much there that just makes me cringe, but I'm also glad to have it.
