Two projects down, a zillion to go

After weeks of working on it, I finally got the new WillyB's Web site completed. While to most it may just look like a minor facelift, in reality the entire backend of the Web site has been re-done using PHP. Man, do I ever love PHP. Click here to view the site.

I've also gotten a couple of projects at work done. They are as follows:

1. Order new printers for the newsroom
2. Order new laptops (5) and desktops (2) for the station.
3. Run phone and data cables for the new G-Control.

Here's the projects that have yet to be completed:

1. Format and distribute new PCs throughout WHAS.
2. Install new printers for news (they haven't arrived yet)
3. Purchase new printers for the station.
4. Purchase new Dell servers to replace server infrastructure (I'm REALLY looking forward to this one)
5. Finish wiring G-Control. I found out this week that since we have the wiring ran, we have a month to get the rest of it done. I also found out that we won't be moving everything at once (whew).
6. Run CAT6 from the news studio to master control. I'm not looking forward to this one at all. I was hoping that we could get another company to run the lines, since they were running so many already, but I was told that wouldn't be possible. Dang.

In addition to all of these projects, there are still some on-going projects left over from last year that need to be completed:

1. IP address transition from 109 range. I'm going to be working on this more on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
2. Move all servers to point to new WINS server. Having two WINS servers has been causing some major issues.

And, to help round off the week, I had some great things happen.

1. I proved that certain departments were doing things that they swore up and down that they weren't doing. Now, if we can just get them to use the equipment properly.
2. I no longer have to worry about certain people anymore. This is good because it means I'll be able to stop popping TUMS.

Here's to a much better week than the past two have been.
