random ramblings of a crazed nerd

My brain hurts - been a crazy start to a week, I think I may be sick. Weather change usually gives me a good run for my money - but all in all things aren’t too shabby around here, budget seems stable, customers are making an effort to get things squared away, and it looks like December 1 I will be canceling a number of services like Stamps.com, Old CC Processor, Old Billing Software, Old Support System - over $150 in monthly costs, so be nice to have them off the books, and hopefully before years end a few more new clients / projects to start the upswing into 2008.

Servers are still on my horizon, 8-Core’s is part of my nightly dreams lol - no but seriously, getting some new hardware is a big priority on my to-do list, I am going to try and keep hardware fresh each year, while a migration each year is a big deal, my hope is that this new provider will prove it’s ratings and customer reviews and give me a new more affordable, stable, and rock-solid support to rely on, not to say that my experience over the last 6 years has been bad with the current provider, they have had some changes which effect the business, so the new company will be the new home unless I hear horrible things before the move.

Code projects have been a big thing this week - and so far so good, got some headway on RM it’s really done, just trying to help out with the templates a bit since I know a bit more as I use Wordpress for CMS deployment a bit more than the site owner, so trying to get that nailed down and functional, pretty can come later since he mainly wants to get it online - so I think by Friday I’ll be good to go, 3 days before the due date, but at least they’ll be back up. EE is coming along, possibly some new functionality being added, which will score me $300 extra into the budget, so that’s a plus - but we’ll see.

Anywhoo - the day continues, I want to take a nap, sleep hasn’t been very restful lately, but I want to try and stay awake most of the day and only pass out towards the end of the afternoon if at all possible - so I’ll be getting off to work - I hope you all have a great Turkey Day here this Thursday! Take care all!
