Google Apps Transition
A few days ago I was prompted in the Google Apps administration panel to transition my accounts to using the new system, which allows a Google Apps account to access everything that a normal Google account can, except for YouTube and a few services that no one cares about. I selected to push forward and […]
Being Deleted
One of the most frustrating things that can happen in a centralized network environment such as Active Directory is the deletion of one’s user account. I have never given much thought or had any sort of plan in place for the situation of an accidental account deletion, but on Sunday evening, such an event occurred. […]
Hidden Features in GITI
Sometimes I get distracted, so distracted in fact that I forget to do things that one might consider important, especially when writing code. It would seem that about a year ago when I wrote code for adding batches of assignments to GITI I thought far enough ahead to add a “batch stamp” to the assignment […]

iPod Touchiness
Due to a very kind friend I now have an iPod Touch. I have spent a few days with it and I must say that I love it. It is much different than what I expected. It is so much more than a music player and even beyond a PDA. The device is so versatile. […]
Refining the Online Presence
I feel like I have been fighting with my digital identity for a long time now. I start on these little projects of integrating things and it just never seems to all come together. I was originally intending to work with SiteEngine to have a central place for all of the content related to me. […]
