Don't ask employees to be passionate about the company!

I guess I have to learn how to sleep. It’s 02:44 and I have no desire to go to sleep. I despise DST and the circadian rythm it upsets.

I was browsing some items at the LOPSA site the other day and ran across a reference to the 4-question test and a blog article. I hadn’t heard of the 4-question test before, so I had to go and read about it. Here is the result, which probably has a few other formats, but the version I’m using is this one.

New meeting location approved!!

We have a new home.

Thanks to Brenda, we have the use of the board room at Fidus to hold our meetings. I’m not going to change the location item until after the first successful meeting. (March 15, 2007)

I’ll have to put together a sponsor page and acknowledge Fidus for the use of their facility. It’s only fair.

The details that I have been given.

Location:

Fidus
900 Morrison Drive, Suite 203
Ottawa, ON

It's Sunday night again

Yep, Sunday night. Tomorrow starts another week of the standard stuff… or does it?

I have spent some time adding new modules and things to the site, but not all of it is configured yet. I cleaned up the non-logged in main page to add info about the meetings, as it didn’t make sense to not have that on there. I also discovered that once you disable anonymous access from a number of items, everything vanishes when you are not logged in. The obvious fix would be to allow anonymous access to nodes, which makes a whole bunch of stuff visible, as everything is a node, but now nothing is hidden. Back to the drawing board and that is what resulted in fixing up the main page.
