Friday the 13th yipppee

So here is my update on the happenings on this lovely Friday.  Not much really.  We did announce to the company plans to move onto exchange and away from Lotus Notes, and other than a few cheers from the user base not much has advanced on this front.  Wenda officially begins on Monday and we will see where that goes.  I don’t expect huge changes but who knows what she may have up her sleeve.

They are real big on thees 360 reviews here and I have one coming to me I need to write for someone.  Real reluctant to do it.  I mean I have heard the questions and cannot figure out a way to be both honest and positive.  Plus I do not want to be the reason someone loses their job, whether I think they deserve it or not.  We will see if I have a flash of genius on this next week.

Tennis is going well and my two teams have already reach playoffs which commence in another week.  So far the competition has not been great but its this time of year things pick up.

I am not a huge Iphone fan, seen a few around and my reaction is basically so what?  Its a better toy than a device that has some real functional advantages.

Well its time to head out and enjoy the weekend..enough rambling for me

I am back

Not sure why I didn’t blog for so long.  Maybe I was busy or maybe jsut wanted to relax or possibly afraid that some initial reactions , not suited for type.  Anyhow news is big here with the addition of Wenda Millard.  Its not totally surprising as the Internet group is littered with former Yahoo folks ever since Wenda was on the BOD.  Now I think she has a tough job of cleaning up and getting that segment to really move forward.  The question on everyones mind is can the addition of Wenda make up for the loss of Lauran Stanich.  I guess its sit back and lets see.  If I could give one suggestion to Wenda, find someone from the tech side to advise you or at least sit real close.  Previous heads of the Internet have been tech lacking in both whom they lean on for advice and their own abilities.  Be nice to see something, anything inventive or new out of that group.

For our move to Exchange, finally got the necessary signatures to really move forward.  The process here is slow, real slow.  Sometimes I wonder if the folks who are in the power positions really understand its takes three hours of process to get one hour of work done.  But hey I guess that is the problems with middle management everywhere.

I saw all the buzz on the iphone, for me its just a nice ipod and I prefer the n95..never really been a huge apple fan..this product is no different.  I laughed when I saw the Iphone Dev conference being held at Adobe in San Fran, for a device that does not support flash?  I see the lack of Dev tools being the real downfall of the Iphone if not remedied soon.

Tennis has been going well wining again and feeling good about my play.  I have another easy match tonight and the real competition wont happen til end of July and August, so I have time to peak

i promise to be more diligent in writing cause I love to ramble
