System Error

Ice Storm
It won't stop snowing here in Slippery Rock.

A little over a month ago I began working at SRU's Web Services. Over the past few months they have been working on migrating the current website to a new system. The current system, Site Builder Toolkit, has reached its limit and is no longer effectively managing the site. The new system, Microsoft SharePoint, promises to be much more scalable. However, it does not seem to be very stable. Everyday there is a different problem requiring a different solution. Yesterday, all the users received 'access denied' messages. Today's problem is that some people, including me, are not able to create new pages in the site. Being a student worker, I have no ability to resolve these problems myself and must wait for somebody else to handle it. Here's hoping these problems don't persist through the launch of the site.

Last week was the due date for proposals in my video game programming course. Today, I find out if my proposal was accepted or not. If it was I will begin work as soon as I get home and will report all progress here. Working on this project will nicely make up for the lack of video games I've been playing.
