In the effort to enhance my knowledge and experience [and to have fun] I have installed the beta version of Microsoft Exchange 2007 on my new server. I’m in the process of moving my mailbox over to the new server – I hope I don’t lose messages!

I have passed my one-year-with-Microsoft anniversary. Actually, it was the 23rd. And it has certainly been an interesting year – one that has taken me from Texas to the DC area and put me on the bottom rung of the ladder to climb again.

On my way into work this morning, I was very thankful that Laura loaned me the use of her car. It began to rain about a half mile into my 46 mile commute. I’ve been working at a location in the mountains near West Virginia and when it rains in Reston, it really rains up [...]

Sometimes, there ain’t much to say.
I’ve been busy workin’ lately trying to get my utilization numbers up, so not much is happening other than a continuation of the merger effort. We are trying to develop a system to sort mail and other incoming things so that stuff just doesn’t get stacked on desks.

Have you ever invenntoried your photo collection?
