New Year

Not a lot of posting going on here towards the end of the last semester. Mostly a product of lack of time/interesting stuff going on in the IMD program. I survived the first semester, and am looking forward to a significantly better schedule this fall. As a result of improved schedule, there are a few things that I plan on working on for the IMD site. I've pretty much inherited both the server and site by default, and now that I'll have some time to work on it, I've committed to getting some (hopefully) interesting things up and running in the coming months:

  • Calendar Sharing - I've been mulling over the problem of calendar sharing (pubsub) and iCal integration over the past couple of months. I'll be trying to implement a workable (80%) solution... More elaboration on my main blog soon
  • MT work - installing some plugins (SmartyPants comes to mind) and also working on multi-blog aggregation. I'm currently converging toward the idea of using categories for aggregation, although there'll need to be more specificity of for memberships in classes
  • KB - nebulous plans for working on a KM tool. Will probably spill over as a summer project

Personal projects for this specific blog is to figure out a good way of comment aggregation (shouldn't be too hard), and possibility experimenting with some blogrolling/presence tools/integration. Also, setting up Mimerdesk and integrating authentication might be interesting...
