Supposed to be working from home today, but working at a coffee shop. Productivity is slightly higher here only because there are a few neighbors up with their hammers doing renovation work.Most of the coffee shops here now have a disclaimer on their counters relating to the Melamine news. Even with a minimum purchase to get internet access, this shop still has around 4-5 people online at a time. Interesting combination. Considering the economy and the scary milk news.
After working for non-stop for a while, decided to take a break and update a few posts on various sites I maintain. Note that maintain here means that content doesn’t come from me, but from a pool of writers and update means sanitize, arrange and reformat the content so that it looks and sounds good enough to be posted. Some of the content still isn’t fit to be posted, I’ll get back to them on another break.
Good thing I’m almost done with the school requirements for this semester, just a few more days and we get to the semestral break. Yey!
Work-side, I’ve been tinkering with a few opensource software like PhpBB. It’s been a while since I touched a forum and administered one. Now, I have to build one from the ground up with several mods. I’m planning to integrate PhpBB with a few Google Apps. Maybe I’ll post a how-to here once I’m done.
I’m also tinkering with Word a lot these days to shorten the time I use to format things for the office. Formatting has been speedier with the templating engine we use, but when the content comes from different sources, sanitation becomes quite a task.
