the crushing weight of my own boredom
December 9th, 2005
Work sucks today. A couple of days ago I finished work on a large project and now I am sitting waiting for the DAU ( DumbAss User ) who requested it to get off his ass and test the thing. Of course when it was requested it was the highest of high priorities, but now that he has to do something to move things ahead, nothing gets done.
So much worse, my boss is on vacation today and was yesterday. Even if I felt the urge to tackle a new project, he’s not here to give me one anyway. I’m all farked out. I have read and re-read Digg. I am tempted to log in to my home machine and do some work on my own projects.
Speaking of projects, I have started working on my own CMS ( Content Management System ). I have looked into some of the ones floating around the web but none have really impressed me much. On the recommendation of a friend, I installed Joomla and gave it a go. I am of the opinion that it is ass. Maybe I just have different standards / expectations than the rest of the people out there looking for a CMS. Oh well, this should be an interesting exercise at any rate. At a minimum I’ll get my non-Windows programming skills back up to snuff and a system for managing my own shit. Who knows? I might even come up with something that other people will want to use. I guess time will tell.
