Realtime schedule of classes

90% done!

Haha - old joke.  It wasn't really funny back then ...

So BK handed me a project to update a realtime schedule of classes for the Deans and AP.  The code was there, but it was out-of-date, was missing terms, missing data, so-so interface, etc...

I added the terms, added security (Portal), loaded the data, re-re-re-re-re-re-loaded the data and got about 20% :)

Next week Mike can vet my data, and help me fill in some names and we can push it to the important people --

Then on to PM!  ... and training ... and Faculty Load.

Running - 5k

It is time.  My running debut is in 15 days.  Today I ran ~3 miles w/ BK.  My knee still feels good, so I'm moving forward.  Paid my fee and I'm ready to run!

It has been a very long time since I competed ... in anything really (except for DISC GOLF!)... ahem.  Running.  Anyway, I'm excited.

Imminent - Faculty Load

Faculty Load Kickoff is next week.

Jeremy will be up on Monday to do some Banner training.  After that I'll have about 1.5 days to totally ramp up, learn and try to understand Faculty Load. 

What it is? 
Who is involved?
What do they want?
Why do they want it?
When do they want it?
What do they expect to get from it?
Whose expectations are misaligned with other groups?

What are all the steps?
Which ones are critical?
Can we group the pieces into groups?
Which steps are in the first group?
How long will that take?
Where do we start?

As you can see, I'm full of questions...  questions that need answering.  And no Saruman to provide counsel.  That's OK.  We have a group of real smart people to help us work through this until we have a successful product!
