Where does the time go?  Holy cow, where did June go?  For that matter where did the first half of 2008 go?  Can you believe it's the second half of the year already?  All those projects at work that I've been pushing off until the end of the year are now fast approaching.  Those will all have to wait until I can get this other stuff done. 

Here is a short list of what I've been working on:

• eTech Channel Web Site:  This is an internal web site that my group developed.  We are creating CNET TV like videos on the technology we are working on.  We launched the site on teh 23rd and so far the feedback has been good.  It's done in .Net which I'm not happy about but it will do for now.
• Digital Signage: DS seems to be taking off lately.  We have one call center installing it now with another agreeing to install yesterday.  I'll have a meeting next week sometime with the President of the newest call center. I've been told  I need to create some content to WOW him.  I am working on a web site where users can create messages and have them posted on their digital signage board.  In short this works with the web site posting the message to the database and then the digital signage server reading the database for message and displaying them on the monitors. 
• Thunder:  Need to get caught up on our PolyVision Thunder Room.   Haven't performed too much on this project lately, although we did get network and power to all four tables in the room.  Thats 16 ports of network and 16 power jacks folks.  Go ahead, plug in!  I need to come up with a project to promote Thunder with amoung the employees in Dallas.  I think I'm going to call it "Thunder Days".  We want people to come see the room and then sign up to use the room for real meetings 

Those seem to be the big three projects lately.  I've also be working on other little things but nothing work noting.  Lots of documentation. 

Last Friday AT&T announced that we are moving our headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas.  That annoucment sure has shook things up here.   We have people moving others moving out.... crazyness.  I did get to meet our CEO, Randall Stephenson, yesterday.  That was very exciting, he's very tall!

Thats all for now.  I am still running and loving the Garmin 201 Forerunner device that Jenell let me borrow.  Ran almost 30 miles in June.

Good Day!
