Thoughts and Ramblings

Well, at the moment my only job is the System Administrator position within the ECE group. It is mostly a job where you don’t have to do too much, but every once in a while something comes up. Today, I got an email about how one user on the eceserver was using 1/3 of the cadence licenses for the EE group. They threatened to cut off access to the licensee from the ece server. It seems that this has been dealt with, but I sort of don’t really think it is over. I will likely hear more about it on monday.

Well, this week I had to work on my project proposal for 663. I was at a near complete loss for what to do, but I put in a proposal for something combining streaming media and a peer to peer client. I have the sinking feeling that the prof will not like it, but we will see when that time comes. If he doesn’t like it, I can always propose something else and go with that.

I have added some more categories today. I hope that it will help me to write shorter but more numerous blog entries. Anyway, check the other categories for more information. On the other side, I think I am no longer going to use the abstracts, as I mostly referred to things that had to do with categories in them.

Hmm… it has been a long time since I have written anything here. I guess I haven’t really cared to mention what I am up to recently.

The office has been really cold recently. They had to adjust the temperature, but it still isn’t much better. The issue is the temperature control is two offices down with several computers in the room, so it is much warmer than ours, making it cold for us. So, the issue is there is not much that can be done about it. Once it gets cold enough that they start using heat instead of AC, it may be better.

Well, it has been a long time since I have written here. I guess it is about time that I do again. Let’s see, what is new:

Well, I am starting to really like the new office. My new office-mate is Ian. He is a nice guy and we are getting along quite well. The only gripe that I have about the office is as of late, it has become quite cold. The AC is a bit too powerful in that room, but other than that, I like the place.
