…and the resolution bites the dust
Not even two weeks into the new year, and already I’ve managed not to keep my New Year’s resolution….
I’m ok on the photo side, need to get a few more pictures up today, but meeting the once a week thing for now. The written side is obviously where I’ve fallen behind since this is my first entry this year. I’m not giving up on the resolution just yet, and we’ll see how it goes.
Just switched off a two week night rotation, and am going to be an odd stretch for the next one, with a four day stretch of day, day, night, night. It’s what Jenn normally works, so it isn’t a bad block, just different than normal for me.
With personnel changes at work, I’ve taken over scheduling for the tech desk, and since the schedule was done on Excel in the past, and I’m never on a Windows machine anymore, I’ve been working on programming a simple scheduling application in PHP. It’s taken some time, but I’m starting to get functionality working to let me set up schedules pretty easily. One of the features I really wanted was to be able to export the schedules so that they are useable in other caledar programs. That part has worked out pretty well. I don’t know whether something like that is useful to the world at large (simple way of laying out a 24-7 support desk schedule), and I didn’t find anything like it when I went looking. I may decide to make it available to others once I’ve cleaned it up a bit and made the user interface a little cleaner – right now it is definitely a ‘made for me’ type of application, with very little error checking.
