I think I’m going to be sick

No, really. I can feel a bad flu coming on. Just in time for the weekend too. Sore throat, coughing etc. If I were you, I’d stay away from me for a couple of days (heh heh heh – I know some of you will disobey that direct order…)

I came across this page the other day, thought I should pass it along – it’s The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés. Kinda like the Evil Overlord’s list of things to do/not to do when trying to take over the world. Both pretty entertaining pieces of work.

I spent a good portion of this morning working on the Intranet project, which just goes to show that I’m a glutton for punishment. I’m appreciative of the power that the Lotus Notes/Domino architecture has, but it’s so awkwardly encapsulated within an awful development environment that it drives me nutty. Oh well, I guess at least the project is almost done (for now) The problem is that I’ve suddenly become the expert on Notes/Domino development, so next time they’ll come to me first :P I guess it could be worse, I could have no valuable knowledge at all…

Ooooh I almost forgot the zinger of the day. I was reading the CIPS email/spam that arrives far too regularly. There was a classic quote in it:

One way to increae the awareness of professionalism is to get involved in projects that benefit the public.

Another way would be to use a spell checker :) Normally I wouldn’t give a typo like that any attention, but the irony was a little too thick in this case.

Simpsons quote: “The kneebone’s connected to the… something. The something’s connected to the… red thing. The red thing’s connected to my wrist watch. …Uh oh.” – Dr. Nick – the king of professionalism

    Did you join CIPS? Is it worth it? I’ve been debating join some sorta professional institution.

    I’m a member, but I don’t know if I’m going to renew. The emails & newsletter don’t inspire confidence in me. PCS pays the dues for me, but I still don’t know if it’s worth it for me.

    If it was a real organization :), then I might be a little more into it, but as it is, gov’t etc. don’t take it very seriously yet.
