Developing Usable Experiences

Sunday in the basement

Most of today was spent in my basement office. The process of installing and configuring a server is slow and tedious one. Installing and configuring the mail server, dealing with security, setting up the firewall, etc. It took awhile but I’m finally receiving email to my domain. This blog and a couple others have been ported to the new Dell PowerEdge 840. It’s coming along.

Other than working on the server, I managed to read over a number of articles for a class tomorrow. I also completed a drawing exercise for my sketchbook. I have quite a few to do before the Hawaii trip so I’ll be sketching a lot over the next week and a half.

Though it isn’t that late, I’m feeling pretty tired. Today was gorgeous. The air had this persistent cold edge to it and the winds were gusty and mean. But the sun was out and the air smelled of fall. The trees are peaking. The leaves are giving out a final burst of color before they die and fall to the ground. Sad in a way. But alas, such is the lure of seasons.

Even though I stayed pretty focused, I felt like I was dragging myself through the day. Tomorrow will be better. Usually it is.
