Time Management


26 Jan

After having the majority of my classes for the first time this term, its become clear that I will be very busy and busy might be an understatement.  I’ll be working on client projects and getting some good experience. From the sounds of it, I’ll be spending more time in our classes’ computer lab, which will come in handy to be in a constant place, bust still a lot of work.

What I am asking from you is if anyone has some good time management ideas or tips that have worked for them in the past?   I plan on trying to keep my calendar updated with projects and work times so keep that part square, but it still is possible that things can slip through the cracks. Perhaps something like a to-do list or something.

What do you all do for time and project tracking? Also anyone have any good blackberry or smart phone applications?

I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks nice, just need to figure out what to do in this real world.

Anyways, its time for me to hit the hay and get some much needed sleep.

Hacker Idol


12 Jan

Today was the first night of American Idol, Did you watch?  I watched about half of it.  While I do find the auditions the best part of the show, there is only so much that I can take before I wanted to pull my eyes out.

What would be an interesting idea, is IT Idol, or Hacker Idol. They start out with all the geeks and nerds, and see who really has the true l33t speak talent and can either fend off the hackers, or can beat the IT people.  It might not be the best TV, but it sure would be more funny to me at least.  I can just see the quotes “ Yeah, I dropped in the rootkit with the exploit to phpmyadmin, and then boosted the ect/passwd file and ran jack the ripper, and boom I was in”  Ok, well yeah. I am a geek, what can I say, but truly I’d enjoy a show like this.

Also, the shows on food network like “The Next Iron Chef” and others, are often more fun because they have more…. Flavor than the wanna be singers I guess.

Oh, 24 starts, and is in New York this year… I wonder how the Yankees will deal with that..
