A Working Weekend

It's the start of the labour day long weekend and the term "labour" is appropriate this year. I've been working on some large projects at work and the final blitz is scheduled for this weekend as the other employees at tekmar leave the building for three days. Now I get the opportunity to turn off some major services like email and migrate services from the old servers onto new ones. Come Monday or Tuesday everything should be up and running again, and a few more older servers will be retired.

Do I mind missing the long weekend? Yes, and no... Yes every break at home is good and appreciated, but the planning for this migration has been a long time coming, and I'm really looking forward to getting it completed.

A new look

Thanks to Google and Blogger for updating some design and styles for the blog. I spent some time and changed the look and feel of everything.
