Building an ERP sure is hard. I'm still stumped at integrating the accounts receivable functionality for about a month already. To think that I've only got four months to go before my contract with my client expires - I need to finish that functionality so I could start documenting the entire thing.

Another thing that troubles me is how to port my Zope application (that uses Plone + a lot of other products) to filesystem code. I guess I'd have to ask help on that regard as I do have an entry in the contract specifying that the product must become open source. I've got no problems with that one - I just don't think that code in a .zexp blob can be considered "open source" enough even though I've already licensed it under the GPL.

Met a former classmate whom I always admired. She's already married with a kid son. Time surely flies fast as the last time I've been with her was around... hmmm... six years ago! Not bad for someone that would just appear and disappear at whim...

I've been populating the PLUG website with more content as a part-time volunteer service. I never thought that the hacked-up CMS I worked on last New Year's eve would go this far.

My wallet bleeds after just purchasing a Tyan Thunder K8W dual Opteron board. I expect more pains when I have to buy the chips (I'd stick with either 244 or 246 - the 250 is just freaking expensive), ECC registered DIMMs, the SSI power supply and an SSI EEB compatible case.

I am to teach theoretical operating systems this coming term. I am still not sure if I'd be accepted in the MSCS program - the sad thing is my university really discriminates entry based on grades acquired during the undergraduate years. Anyway, if I don't get admitted then it's still fine with me - I'd seek more knowledge in my own way. Non-admittance will also buy me more time to earn more money as the acquisition of more server equipment is making my finances really tough. I just hope though that my task of teaching OS theory won't be as bad given my displeasure.

I'm already contemplating of outsourcing a lot of system administration tasks such as the wireless ISP, configuring radius and asterisk and all of the tedious stuff. It would've been fine with me if I only had more time in my hands - my hands are already full in development, managing the businesses I handle, as well as teaching. Time management is already so bad that I cancelled my vacation for the 8th straight year, as well as denying myself of getting out or having dates... I guess it can't be helped though - I'm just too busy.
