Hurry up and wait

So I'm here at Novell just waiting to for an 8:00 p.m. meeting with my web-development group from school. The meeting was scheduled to be at 5:00 but one of the members had something come up. It's all good, I've been in those shoes before. I just don't want to go home because the drive will be a big waste of time. I've a tough decision to make though...Do I go to Brett's BBQ or do I go to Drew's BBQ? I hate these dilemas ;)

I've been waiting for LaMont to finish up the setup of a bunch of NBO servers in the superlab here at Novell so I can run some benchmarking tests. It's taking forever as well, so yet again...hurry up and wait. I have however been making good use of my time learning to do graphical progamming with glade. I'm using the user interface builder to create an xml file and then with the pygtk.glade module read that file and create some sweet interfaces quickly(see above). It's pretty slick and I'm glad I discovered how to use it, glade always confused and annoyed me until now.

School

I'm sitting in public management class right now at the beloved Brigham Young University talking about Porter's five forces. We're doing an analysis of Michelin. I also just finished giving a recitation speech where I recited a Bob Dylan song entitled "With God on Our Side." I'm also working on a presentation I need to give tomorrow in my Business Ethics class. I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do the presentation on so if you have an idea feel free to write a comment.

New look

I just finished changing the template for this blog. I like the new look. Today I started messing around with iCal and rss. I downloaded blam to try out rss for the first time. For the iCal stuff I used Evolution from the gnome desktop project. I used iCal for the group project I'm involved in I'd never even mucked around with that stuff and it's kinda nice. I like the fact that with rss I can cut to the chase when it comes to all the news sites that I read on a daily basis. I also setup a wiki for Jeff and I today.
