September 14, 2004 Bangkok, Thailand
I made the trip to Coffee Society on Silom, and their network is working again, so I can do a ton of geeky stuff, like updating Windows, and downloading the open source software that he suggests. I use non-Microsoft products every chance I get, so I'll be giving OpenOffice a try. I just wish Linux was a viable alternative to Windows.
But, the big priority is to upgrade MovableType. This should allow me to manage the massive amounts of spam comments being posted. Hopefully I will not destroy the website in the process.
This has been an easy week at work, as we wind down to midterms next week. My tests are written, and there is no more lesson planning. After the nightmare of proctoring for two week, I will get a week and a half of holiday. I am waiting for approval of two days of personal holiday, so I would get a full two weeks. If my anal-retentive weirdo bosses approve my leave, I will go somewhere interesting. But there is a good chance they will arbitrarily deny it, and never tell me. So I'm crossing my fingers.
Now, it's time to update...
