Things have certainly picked up in the last few days at the U. The weekend had many students moving into the dorms and setting up their computers on the University’s network. I was in the most remote dormitory, so my team only had to support one dorm, unlike others that had 3-4 dorms.
Also, Scruple is looking to become a formal business with a bank account and potentially an office in the BELL Center on campus. We’re acquiring new clients left and right, and are about ready to implement the Le Reve Salon & Spa site. We’re also looking to make a website for a local opthamologist that doubles as a business and informative site on LASIK eye surgery.
At work, the phones are ringing off the hook since we’re only three days into the fall semester. Yesterday morning started off with 32 voicemails and non-stop calls and voicemails for the rest of the day. With all this activity its hard to imagine when I’ll have free time to design again. But, once things slow down, I’ll be able to redesign the CSS for this blog so that it can be a part of the happy dsjoo template family.

Exciting things continue to happen even as the semester looms. I’m at Web Services and designing websites again. Right now, WTS is working with a few new departments and just finished delivered a project - Department of Cinema & Comparative Literature. That website was a collaboration between myself and a coworker in design and delivery, since I was gone during last two months. The training on Contribute went well enough and support questions will continue to filter in for a few weeks.
As for Scruple, things are progressing quite a bit. We are in the process of getting a Tax ID and a business bank account. We have been collaborating with another student who has added quite a bit of ideas to potential Scruple projects. We’re also looking to make a login section on scruple.net for clients to view design comps and other client-specific information.
In other news, being without a TV in my room has lead to watching tv shows on my computer. Much like Tivo, downloaded show series allows for watch-when-you-want programming. School will start in less than two weeks, so hopefully I will be finished watching Deadwood Seasons 1 & 2. In the mean time, in the words of Steve Ballmer, “Developers, developers, developers!”
