Passed ITIL V3 Foundation

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:50:00 GMT

I took the ITIL V3 Foundation test a few minutes ago and passed. Kind of a silly test. Mostly for best business practices in the IT world.

One of the vce's at examcollection.com seem to have a very accurate dump of the test so I wasn't surprised on any of the questions. Doing some reading helped too, escpecially for questions I forgot.

Slight Upgrade

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:15:00 GMT

I have a lot more free time lately so I took some time to upgrade the site. I made some small changes to the projects section, resume section (employers only) and replaced the forum.

I also fixed the login so that user's who log in and select "remember me" stay logged in.

I attempted to speed up the albums section with caching but only made a minor change. The solution for now is just to upload smaller sets of photos (I'll be doing this soon).

Chrome is Cool

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:24:00 GMT

I tried out the new google browser chrome. It has a lot of cool new features. Sad for me, I didn't get it working until I found a fix that calls for adding "--no-sandbox" to the run command. I have no clue what this is or why my computer doesn't like sandboxes but I was glad to get it working and try out the new features. Looks like it recognizes a lot of style rules just like firefox and goes a bit further with some elements. Much to my shagrin, a bunch of my must have sites don't function completely right with chrome. I even had to write this blog entry in firefox because chrome didn't recognize my custom wysiwig text box. It's still cool and fast to boot. So give it a look. You could look at the two new member albums I added with it.

Apathy and Army Data Management

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:05:00 GMT

A couple months back I started a project to create an Army company operations web enable database system. It was a sky high effort with a goal to save the Army billions among other benefits. This has been tried in a few less successful and less comprehensive systems. Access database is a common approach and in some cases is actually useful. The problem with access is availability. It's hard to secure and hard to share with the massive amount of personnel needing access leading to the few servicing the many or massive leaks of sensitive data. This is all fine and great but finding the motivation to sit and code in processes that are complicated even in paper form is no easy task. Although, I haven't been help to myself in this area. I've been wasting time baking bread, reading large books (Ike) and doing generally worthwhile but not world changing activities.

Self gratification is hard to beat with self sacrificing work. Especially when I plan to give away this system for free and in contrast I have the option to do part time work for fast cash instead (which I'm doing now). Delayed gratification may be a attribute long lost to my generation and it may be quite a while before it makes a reappearance. The end choice will be whether I want to be a part of that reappearance or drown with the flow.
