Just Playing…
Whew, I’m spent. I’m running a Data Integrator training course this week (started today) and I’m already stuffed – it really takes it out of you. Additional to normal training tired-ness, I had the misfortune of trying the new BO course which uses MySQL 5.0 instead of SQL Server. We had an issue with table owners that nearly stopped the course dead in it’s track. Luckily one of the students stumbled across the fix that let us continue.
Meanwhile, I’ve been mucking about on the laptop, trying out new things. I’ve discovered the following things:
- Flock browser is awesome if you’re an online social junkie, or even a Firefox fan – check it out if you can!
- http://folding.stanford.edu/ looks really cool on my PS3, but doesn’t work too well in Vista 64-bit…
- Twitter looks really cool, but I’ll need to find other friends who use it before it becomes useful – my user is joshyf
- Flock integrates seamlessly with del.icio.us in providing online favourites, so now no more stored favourites in my browser
Otherwise I did a 6.5 to XI migration last week that went really well (about 1,500 reports and 55 universes) that now just needs all the testing done.
In personal news, I found out the other week I’m going to be a dad, which is awesome news of course, and we’re both very happy. Luckily I have until the end of the year to get everything done, and get used to the idea of course! 
Check out Flock. It’s cool.
