Comments Off on Geek Weekend

The upcoming weekend, in no particular order:

  • Organize the Microsoft UM/UC event in Orlando
  • Bug hunt the bug fix release of ExchangeDefender
  • Tape the buildout of the Hackintosh
  • Post the Exchange 2007 SP1 screenshots and the new Activesync policy pushed to the device as a result; talk about new limits
  • Draft the damn support portal code of conduct, internal or external.
  • Hook up Xbox 360 to the Home Server
  • Flash Katie’s phone
  • Get a bigger grill

Now I realize there is going to be a bit of skepticism as I say this, given that its being posted at 1AM, but how organized is your life? In the long long ago, I would get my few hours of sleep and as soon as I got a chance to relax and close my eyes another idea would pop into my head. I’d run back to the office to try it just for a minute, and three hours later I was back in bed. Repeat.

I mentioned this bit of insanity/insomnia to Karl and he asked if I ever thought about keeping a notebook next to my bed to just write things down and then attack them in the morning.

That little bit of “why are you an idiot, Vlad?” has saved me a few years of life, a little bit of sanity and then some. And now I’m passing it on to you. Enjoy.
