How about this! Three journal entries in the new system. I’m still
working out the process where the entry is taken from the e-mail and put
in the database. I think I’ve got it working correctly. A couple more
entries should show that everything is working correctly. Fortunately,
these e-mail journal entries are also in the “sent” folder on the
computer I sent them from, so they’re easily recreated and resent should
there be a problem.

It’s a Wednesday night. I’ve been working from home today. The time has
been quite productive. Most of the day on Wednesday is spent on the
phone in meetings. Today was no exception. It started with the weekly
Change Control Meeting at 10:00 a.m. where we review the changes planned
to production systems. At 10:15 I went into the weekly Autonomy Meeting.
This meeting has to do with the project to implement the new search
engine for the LSI Logic intranet. This project is moving along quite
smoothly and is yielding some very nice results.

At noon I was on the phone about the strategy to finish off the AT&T
contract for North America voice and data services. At 2 p.m. was a
phone meeting about the problems we had with the network in Milpitas
yesterday afternoon and evening. 3:00 p.m. was the final phone meeting
on hardware needed for the new disaster recovery site. In the meantime I
built a web page to explain to Bruce Decock, my boss, how we would go
about reducing the amount of spam e-mail that’s coming into the company.

I was supposed to meet at the Church this evening for a Home Teaching
Rescue Night. However, I’ve still got a major cough and get coughing
fits that literally double me over. I’ve also broken out in a rash! No
idea what the cause of the rash is, hopefully it doesn’t have anything
to do with the cough which I believe is left over from the cold I had
last week. I’d sure like to get rid of the cough and be finished with
the cold. My belly is sore enough from coughing!!
