Back in the office…

So I’m back in the office after being out with the flu for several days.  It’s business as usual, getting back to the tasks of enterprise projects and the associated mindsets.

This week is mainly to be getting caught up and surging ahead – at least that is my perspective this Monday morning.  I’ve got a lot of items to do, most being documentation, training and hand-off to additional staff.  Other items are to get some testing done, a project charter written, project scope put together and a few other incidentals that always arise.

Back in the saddle again…

Welcome to RickMahn.com – One year later!

Yep, it’s been a full year since I launched this blog, finding WordPress, getting my domain set up and diving headlong into the blogosphere.  I’ve not been blogging just for a year – this effort was a culmination of three previous blogs.  I had previously used MSN Spaces, Blogger, and WordPress.com – all are still online.

When I found I could host my own WordPress software on a hosting service and customize my own site – that was the shit.  So here I am a year later, still working on finding the “line” if you will.  Sometimes I’m not sure if people want to hear what I have to say, but at the same time, I’m glad to have the platform available to vent on.  I had been planning on some kind of post about my first anniversary here, but I’ll just leave it as something simple.

Just glad to have peaked today to make sure it was the actual date!

Office Pro 2007

So I got Office Pro a few weeks ago and found that I will need to pick up the other Office components as well.  Pro comes with Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a few other incidentals.  I don’t count Access as a real app since I’ve seen a lot of shitty programming done with it.

Over the last year, I’ve become very fond of OneNote and will need to pick that app up as well as Visio, and probably Project.  They are all too useful not to have them updated along with the rest.

Yes, I’ve been advocating an all-online office for several months, but I still need to have the MS Office suite to do business.  By the way, the save to PDF add-on rocks.

Change

I’ve not been blogging much lately, mainly because of getting over the flu – it really hit me hard.  I’ve not been really sick for more than a decade and a half, so it’s been a hard one this time.  We’ll be getting the flu shot next year.

But in addition, there has been a lot of things going on around the homefront, and its taken the steam out of my sails for writing and such.  I’m looking to find the inspiration again, but all the regular stimuli has not been much to get me motivated.  Yeah, there are some neat things going on in the mobile space at 3GSM, and some neat tech seminars for work, but its not getting me in the mood to write about it really.

I’m planning on getting some more work out of the way so I can get back to reading more and being able to write about it.  There is a bit of change going on here, and I hope to make the most of it over the next many months.  Change is good.
