We hunkered down this weekend, beginning in earnest the preparations for our summer vacation. We call it a vacation because we are careful about planning. We plan to do nothing and work hard to see that happen. Which it rarely does. We always end up doing something.

I spent some time today exploring various JQuery features and plugins. For scripting libraries, they are fancifully advanced. I worked on a revision to interspike.com today but am not happy with it yet. I’ll keep chipping away at it. I’d like to have the home page be a separate WordPress blog that links to this one and such. But alas, I won’t go after that until I migrate services to a co-located dedicated machine. Hard to say when that will be exactly.

Lots happening in the next few months. A number of friends are getting married, big projects are due, school starts, and summer ends. Hardly seems possible.

So then what happened?

August and interesting projects

For some reason I was inspired to create an image for this post. I’m evaluating a project through school connections that has to do with bioinformatics. Very interesting but I’m not sure I can talk about it. I don’t really know much at this point but have been educating myself on terms and debugging the project code. I’m a code monkey again, but in a very interesting room with a spectacular view.

The server migration appeared to have gone well. Interspike was down for a day, just like they said. And here it is again.

Work has been heads down programming. These periods of laser beam attention are fun when they happen. It can be a real juggling act though.

I’m a little late at the moment, like always, but it what it is. August already. School starts in month. I look forward to the experience.
