It’s been nearly a year since I last put a post on this blog. How sad, well really you’re probably not missing much. I do have some ideas for topics though, so I’ll probably write a bunch and then not return for another year! ha

A little about what has happened in the last year. We’ve been with SedonaOffice at work for almost a year now. It’s hard to believe; it’s gone very fast. Overall, it has gone very smoothly. We’ve run into a glitch every now and then, but mostly we’ve just needed to change our processes to match. The biggest was something we didn’t realize until a few months ago. I’ll probably make this a topic on it’s own: What we’ve learned about SedonaOffice!

It’s about time to return to Florida again for the conference, so I look forward to returning Joey’s Pizza and Pasta House. This year Robert is going with me, so he can enjoy it, too! I hope they are still in business. I know it’s been a tough year for many.

I’m about to imbark on a couple challenging new projects at work. One is updating the scheduler I wrote and adding some features to it to tie it in directly to the SedonaOffice database. This should be fun and make scheduling with it a lot faster/simpler. It’s a breath of fresh air to be working with a software database that’s written well and I can communicate with easier.

I’ve found a site with some great training videos for a very good price. I’ve watched one video so far about programmer productivity and I think I’ll log my scheduler upgrade project on the blog. I want to use some of the things he mentioned.

An a personal note, we’re still working on the financial stuff. No debt other than the mortgage, but it sure is harder to save money than it was to pay off debt. I wish we could get back the same intensity we had when we were getting out of debt. I’d really like to lead another Financial Peace University Course… I’m working on getting it approved to do it. I’m not sure what the hesitation is about in the church leadership. It’s a little frustrating.

Well, it appears that it is time for bed. It’s cold here in South Texas tonight; I hope I can stay warm!
