Ok, maybe I’m not proud. But BOY am I happy. LDAP authentication to CBORD is working, and the room signup process (which begins on April 3, 2006) is coming together. I think we have all the pieces put together and I’m now waiting for Thursday to do our testing.
14 people from the housing office have filled out an application and chosen roommates and will (on thursday) choose rooms and be assigned to rooms based on those mutually requested roommates. It’s pretty exciting. If everything goes as smoothly as I’m really hoping that it does – well, I’ll be oh so happy. I really want this to go smoothly this year. About 400-500 people will probably use it between April 3rd and June 16th, so it’s gotta work well. We’ve got the timing and the tools worked out. Now it’s just making them work.
It’s been a long road getting here, but things are progressing at a pleasantly steady pace. I’ve got lots to do, and that’s good. I hate… HATE … being bored. Nothing worse. Anyway …
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by my project list – I can see the years it’ll take to complete them all. But I’m hopeful. I keep getting them done slowly. One by one they fall. I probably won’t be able to keep the schedule I’ve outlined for them all, but I’m pleased to be making progress. Hurray Progress!
