Dec 5 - 8

I know I'm a little early on this one, but I am off tomorrow and all next week. I just bought a house and finally get to move in. The wait was 6 weeks and I never thought it would get here. In just 1 short day, I will have keys to my new home. I'm very excited!

I completely finished the Banner Password Reset Page this week. My boss wanted me to change a couple "small" things so I did. In reality, they were small requests, but the programming had to be completely rewritten to accommodate them. It didn't take too long though.

After I complete the page, I spent a couple hours trying everything I could to break it. I didn't succeed which is a good thing. Any time we are altering passwords, we need to be very careful. If someone breaks the system, very bad things could happen. That's why I took a big chunk out of my day to test the new piece of software.

Other than the password reset page, I didn't do any other projects. My main goal was to test and set up RDP (Remote Desktop) on the iPad. I had a couple technical issues (DNS resolving related), but got them worked out. We now have a good idea of how well RDP'ing to our computers will work.

The rest of my time was spent helping and training our new employee. I trained him on how Web Self Service Packages work and got him started on one. I also showed him how Argos works in more detail. He is currently completing his first self service package.
