TIred. As Trent Reznor says, everyday is exactly the same.

A pretty proud feeling that this week I’ve been working alot with sharepoint on this project and it’s been going pretty well I like to think. Figured out a problem and last night possibly a better solution in terms of dealing with summary links inside webparts and removing them. Currently I’m creating a new webpart with duplicate settings save one summary link, deleting the old webpart and creating the new one. If that works you should be able to delete the summary link and just update the page, check in, publish and approve and it should work. But the fix I have in place works and I probably shouldn’t spend more time on it especially since I would need to fix and test for bugs. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’m excited that we’re jetting off to New York here in a couple of months for a real vacation. It’s been forever since I’ve been on a plane, let alone out of the state. I look forward to the sights and sounds and busy city life of NYC. Yes I’ll be one of those tourist.

I’ve switched to Chrome. I hate coming into work and seeing that Firefox has yet again encountered an error every morning. It needs to be constantly restarted and it’s implementation on Vista leaves much to be desired. I can probably say the same for OS X since I’ve gone to Safari. The only thing that annoys me about Chrome is the lack of smooth scrolling and losing my place on web pages.

Yesterday, oddly enough in the bathroom at work, it’s occurred to me that in addition to working for small companies since beginning my IT career, I’ve worked for companies that typically were teetering in terms of business and cashflow. From lack of cash, to shady business practices, to a crazy spending spree. Either that or my presence causes companies to do remarkably awful. I like to think they have bad business practices and that I am not the harbinger of doom.

So an interesting problem was posed last week when I attended a school board meeting with the missus. Every year the wage of a incoming new teacher (year 0) gets say 44,000$ while a teacher(year 1) the previous year plus the yearly raise would get either lower then that or on par of that.

So I’m at home playing with the new iLife suite particularly iPhoto and I have to say Faces is pretty cool. For the most part it really recognizes alot of people and gets most of them right once you identify a face. It’s pretty weird to see who gets lumped together for having ’similar’ faces though.

Alex and Eli? Ngan and Jennifer?

Here in lies the irony of the situation on this day.

Those that supported Bush’s presidency are typically the hard core Christians who rallied behind a president said to have made every decision with faith based in God. Now there is nothing wrong with this. I applaud a man who believes that his actions will be answered for after this life. But these are the same people who are now going to be laughing and criticizing every mistake that Obama makes. All starting with how he goofed on taking the oath. I suppose the snowball must start somewhere.

On the flip side, the crazy groups of people who are out there that believe that Obama is their own personal president that will push their agendas into America. This includes a lovely Obama needs to swear into office on a gay man’s bible, Obama needs to not say, ‘So help me God.’ in his oath. These crazy people have it in their heads that now Obama is president he will shape the America that they have so longed wanted represented.

At this point in time, people are nitpicking at the asinine stupid things instead of focusing on what is more important. An economy in dire need of fixing. Americans educating falling behind several other countries. The place where technology was practically founded now losing headway in speeds on the Internet. Healthcare gouging people’s wallets when they can’t pay for it. Gas prices.

People are ridiculous.

Streaming the inauguration here at work. A historic day indeed.
