A day without meetings is like …
A chilly november morning, apparently.
* Researched Blackboard Learning System IMS import compatibility (weak).
* Got Zoomify viewer loading in MFIC application.
* Good start on Zoomify annotation integration.
* Logged MT4 Edit interface bug in footprints.
* Set up blog tech committee planning meeting.

Who turned out the lights?
The clock change means that it gets dark even earlier. Lucky for me, I have a light at my desk.
* Some good progress on MFIC/Zoomify interface. Almost ready to set up annotation.
* Processed ICCIE/IBM.
* Checked on OASys request – client may have found a solution already.
* MMG support, modified link for 1st case.
First solid development day in what feels like a while (no meetings all day!). Have you set your clocks? A day after the switch and I still haven’t changed all mine.

Are you ready for some football?
A few pre-game tasks this weekend:
* Made changes to MMG application, adding delete/reset option and fixing case listing urls to point to the html embedded swf instead of the raw swf.
* Submitted a support request yesterday for unresponsive CONTENTdm server yeilded a quick response and an even quicker solution (have you thanked your sysadmin lately?)
Patriots barely pulled it out for the win against the Colts today. Will they go 16-0?

Motor runnin’
Friday already?
* Wrapped up another interview
* Tweaked MMG application
* Lightweight support for podcasting/garageband workshop
* Dug deeper into Expression Engine (quite a robust CMS application)
* Had a fun stairway conversation with a faculty member on the steps in the Davis Center this morning (btw, Gordon’s coffee has improved by leaps and bounds)
* Found out about a few incoming new online courses
* Eco-Econ planning meeting
* Had a productive (and quick) bi-weekly one-on-one/check-in
* Processed ICCIE
Yes, it is finally Friday. Busy week – see you Monday!

Will not attend.
Another heavy meeting day, as we started interviews. Some highlights:
* Looked again at Expression Engine templating – need to find out if we really need to import pre-made themes or not.
* Began looking into issues with existing MMG issues – possibly related to serving the swf file straight up, instead of embedding it.
* CMS group started prioritizing items from the brainstorming sessions
* Did I mention interviews?
* Touched footprints ticket on reported MT4.01 Firefox/Mac issues. Still looking for a solid list of open MT bugs – hard to find stuff between MT’s Pronet (which isn’t even open, making it hard to point colleagues to anyway), Community Wiki, Forums, etc.
* Processed IBM
* Got schooled on better RSVP practices, calendar kung-fu, and other ways to avoid bad calendar karma.
* I think I owe holly a pen.
Tomorrow will go smoother.

Boo!
Not much real project/dev work done today due to a high meeting load. Wednesdays tend to result in me being AFK more often than not. Never fear, today’s list is here.
* Wrapped up this last book group read, talked about picking the next book.
* Interview prep meeting
* Tested converted XML file import for MMG case – looks good for the most part (thanks Kihwa!).
* Logged a few tickets at (and after) Dr Is In.
* Investigated ICCIE Wimba log in problems (cannot replicate).
Happy halloween!
Is it a… What day is it?
* Staff meeting (under an hour!)
* Handed off MMG XML conversion
* Cleared out and archived a sizeable stack of old Basecamp projects
* Created a few projects in Basecamp
* Got a solid start on image tools for MFIC (yay for Rails and handy plugins)
* Processed ICCIE registrations
* Fixed ICCIE student acount
(It’s a [weekday](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Lebowski).)
