Work and plans

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Well i have been working two jobs enorder to try to get a head right now. Working two jobs has been making me think about going back to school for Electrical and Computer Engineering double major here in maine. I have been looking at the courses and they all seem pretty interresting. This means I would have to give up one of my jobs. The Problem is I enjoy both my jobs. I telecommute for a Denfense Contractor at night and durring the day I work for a local teleco/IT support company. Both are challenging and both are interesting. So the choice is hard. The local job I would have to drop to part time enorder to go to school if I was to keep it. The reason I’m rethinking my education is because my IT degree and in field work that I’m doing now really isn’t using it and its pretty boring most of the time. IT stuff is pretty much the same thing every day over and over, fixing laptops,desktops, servers and printers. So I think I’ll take some ECE classes and see how I like it.

I went to boston a few weeks ago to meet up with lucas and BP. We had a blast in boston for the weekend. We went to The People Republic, a Brizallian BBQ place where the girl that was our waitress was drop dead hot. We even did the Sam Adams tour was cool because we all got glasses from the tasting. It was cool to be in the boston pubs when the soxs are playing becuase it becomes alive and its like if everyone in the bar is cheering for the same thing. So that I believe brings us up to date.

Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008 Server

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Ok, let me be frank, I’m not much of a windows user anymore like I was pre-2005. I attend to use Unix or Linux for all my needs. My new job has required me to brush off my windows skills and rehone them. All I have to say is after dealing with Windows Server 2008 and Exchange 2007. Microsoft why the Hell can’t you leave layouts and way programs work? Exchange 2007 and Server 2008 panels and settings are so confusing by them making it what they call simple. I have to say windows 2003 and exchange 2003 were perfect in the layout and access policy. PLEASE Microsoft stop changing the server UI and compents of the UI for Server Applications. It feels like I’m speaking english and your speaking some screwed up language. I spend more time searching for shit then anything else.

End of my Rant! improvements to software is good as long as the user doesn’t feel like they have to learn something totally new.
