Relaxing Weekend and Productive Monday

I finally had a weekend that seemed relaxing. I wasn't sick (like 3 out of the 4 last weekends), and there wasn't anything that had to be done immediately. Gaila and I did laundry and cleaned the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. I can't believe how quickly the apartment falls apart when you don't feel good and don't have the time to clean.

Today, I finally got the pubcookie system working at work. I also got it doing authorization, only letting certain netIDs in and kicking out unauthorized users. So, now I guess I have experience authenticating and authorizing PHP scripts on my own custom systems, Active Directory, and now pubcookie YAY!

I applied for a bunch of jobs at Principal. Yeah, that's right, Principal. Here's to hoping that I won't get stuck with too much COBOL work if I do get a job there. Though from what I have been hearing, there are a lot of other IT jobs there that don't require much (if any) use of COBOL.

I launched the new scholarship pages on the 13th. Very few glitches and a lot smoother operation and integration with departmental applications. The only problem I had was that I didn't validate zip codes well enough. Remember, zip codes can start with a zero on the east coast!

Anyway, it's time to go home and work on some projects. Perhaps I will finally get my hair cut this afternoon too.
