Busy, CMS & Subs
Wow what an incredible and busy day. Actually the last few days have been both incredible and busy. I did some playing around with Samba + LDAP. I must say it was quite fun and eye opening. Testing out some possible tools for use in both LAM, and phpLDAPadmin. I like the interface on the later much much more, but the previous apparently has system home directory account creation / deletion. I might have to write something up myself to do that, but it should not be difficult. LDAP admin seems to also have built in support for Kolab2 users which is ++nice. :)
I have done some extensive hacking / problem solving with horde as of late. I did submit a bug report when iTip mail invitation links error out with a Kolab integration because there is no IMAP connection when you click the link. It was just accepted today. I also spent some hours trying to chase down what could be a bug related to daylight savings time. Events created after April 2 seem to be one hour ahead in the invitation and acceptance on the attendee side, but remain fine on the event owner. I'm going to wait until after the DST roll over to see what happens.
I problem solved for clients today, wrote some feature additions for another client the last few days including some new statistics graphs ... (jpgraph is ++cool). I had meetings, which went very well and there is lots of work coming down the pipe. That's uber good news for me. I didn't take any sort of liking to my tax bill last week. I'll get over it, and money always helps.
Aaron and I recently got rejuvenated to put some effort into our CMS. I won't speak before the egg is cracked, but there are some reasons for us doing this, and they are really HUGE. Better init, i18n, better CSS / templates in the DB, new configuration ways, moved to SVN from CVS, better layout. I'm excited. With everything else I'm not sure how much time I'll have ... Aaron has been putting in much more work than I these last few days. We do have an opportunity which could lead to me doing tons more work on it ... which is super cool.
Today I went to Macs at lunch and picked up a sub from Subway. I got a little scratchy card and won a free 6" sub. Neat. The other have of the scratchy is a code for their website. You log in on line, and punch in the code. You then get to play this cool little flash game where you build your own sub. You get to pick the bread and cheese, all the meat / veggies, and the condiments. Then you drag and drop the sandwich into the toaster oven to see if you win a million bucks. I ... Alas ... Did not today, but maybe next time. I quite enjoyed the little break from reality and got to pretend I work at Subway. Nifty. Well ... off to my web meeting. ΒΆ 6:06:00 PM
