Working on a few things: Starting to get the word out for GISQuery.com, a Q&A site for GIS professionals using OSQA. Having an interesting time getting the word out on this one since I need participation for the site to grow. Learning CodeIngniter as a PHP framework to help get a few other ideas off the ground (a revamped 140Pl.us and a new beer website). I am getting tired of trying to build highly functioning sites…

I'd be curious to hear what you think of CodeIgniter, I have heard good things. We've been using CakePHP for about 3 years now, and would highly recommend it as a general purpose PHP framework.

Learning OpenGL ES (and computer graphics concepts in general for that matter) while trying to make a 3D iPhone game for my graphics class this summer.

Some good references for learning OpenGL/computer graphics math from yesterday's Ask HN

Today I am trying to crunch 3 years of failed maintenance on a lab of 24 machines into a single day.

None of which were even registered on the domain!

Updating group policy information, pointing the machines to the WSUS server, installing updated antivirus, installing new DeepFreeze client-- tedious work that should have been done by previous techs/admins-- so I'm cleaning up a mess.

This will be my summer. Get this school ironed out before the students come back.

Oh, and I'm learning Python in-between-- it's that structured procrastination thing. :)

What possessed me to try and tackle this on a per-machine basis? Why did I not just image one and roll it out? I wouldn't have time for HN and coding! :)
