Wild--but my "blogging" of late has been using a "Notes" gizmo on Google. Whatever it is worth, here is a dump of those notes:

Biked (4th day in a row) to work and for the 2nd day stopped at the YWCA. Today I ellipticalled while listing to PMPrepcast on Cost estimating. Was pretty wiped out yesterday. Walked the dog too. How about that? Way over ate though. Unless I can control my eating I am going to become a prisoner of over exercising.
Jim Cottrell and Craig Henslin and questions about allocating datasets
DDS form, filling out
Project conversion meeting

Biked to YWCA--3 miles; lifted and ellipticalled (random, 4 miles 32 min) and biked to work along = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Shepard Road (Google maps says 6 miles driving--looks accurate) showered at work--forgot towel, yikes--was a bit underdressed. 218--what's up with that?

Tom Stewart sametimed about UAT scheduled services, and that has led to my reading the wM Cluster guide.
Also, talked to Ed and Phil about inbound file.
Sheel came over and talked to him and we called Eian. Sheel is going to take the Eian angle.
At the end of the day, talking at Chuck's desk with Craig H,; Mike D. stops by; Sheel stops by; Jim C. leaves early--I think becuase we were making too much noise.

Contacted Mary, Jim, Jay about CMR for database move. Chuck last night was ready to postpone it; I thought about it and want to get it done tonight.
Updated list of tasks from bigger project.
Conversation with Jim C.:
Last file at 10:00 am; if no response is required on Saturday, could have Yonas stop scheduled services
Start DB backup at 9:00 anyway, and it'll go back and pick up anything that it missed/
Or, check with Jay--if the backup isn't going to take all that long, maybe we should just plan on starting at 10:30?
While the database is bkp, have Ops practice on Dev/Ops
Restart SQL server--Jay? Shaun?
