School of Business homepage and a handful secondary pages has been redesigned and brought into Vignette content management system to kick off the first phase of GW’s unified web presence. Eventually GW will have a consistent look and feel no matter where a user is on the site, but for now this is our first step. There will be more work done.

Two of my favorite World Cup team go against each other. It should be a great match even though they both will advance.

It’s about time the little guy starts to walk. Two nights before, Duke discovered that he could walk on the mattress instead of sleeping on it. Through walky talky, I could hear Duke and Dana laughed out loud instead of settling down to sleep. Yesterday he began to take some drunken steps while clapped his hands. He has been able to stand on his own for about a month now when he’s into something exciting and forgot to grab onto something.

Cu Dao still cries every morning at the daycare drop off. Fortunately, he only lasted for about fifteen to twenty minutes after I left. I came to pick him up last Wednesday and he was playing with his classmates until he spotted me. The teachers continue to be very patience with him. They also figure out his schedule or his eating and sleeping habits. Duke is getting into the groove of things except for the crying in the morning.

Cu Dao is very aware of his environment and he knows exactly what he wants. He would keep on pointing his finger until we give him what he has in mind. At meal time, he wouldn’t eat until he could get something on his hands to explore. The more complex the object the faster the meal gets done. He eats well and drink lots of milk. In fact, milk is currently his favorite food/drink. He could drink milk any time and under any circumstances. We are very glad that he loves milk.

Slovakia scored two goals and Italy is going home.

Now that the content entry for the new GW Business web site is locked down, I get a moment to move to a new MacBook Pro so I can hand my old one off to the student worker. I started Migration Assistant last night and everything seemed to work fine until I made some updates. The system went straight into Kernel Panic and no matter how many times I rebooted the laptop, the panic didn’t go way. I had to reinstall OS X from scratch again and do the good old manual migration. I wasted three hours last night for nothing.

I am now in the process of installing CS5 and Adobe makes my upload my photo ID in order to use the educational version. So I uploaded my photo ID, filled out a bunch of forms and this is what I get, “The eligibility verification process may take up to two business days after receipt of your eligibility documents.”

It’s about time the US wins a game. On the other hand, France didn’t even make to the second round. What’s up with that?

Duke got kicked out of daycare yesterday after vomited twice and could not return in 24 hours. Dana had spent a whole week with him yesterday so I could do my work. She also picked up him yesterday at noon and spent the rest of the day with him. I got caught up with my work so I took the day off to watch him. I also need to catch up some sleep and recover from coughing and soar throat.

My day had been just feeding him, watching a bit of World Cup and relaxing with Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection. I am currently listening to Davis’s live and unreleased materials. The more I listen the more I am hooked on the way he plays. He doesn’t play a whole lot, but what he plays worth waiting for. I told my wife I’ll open a “Relaxin’ With Miles” Coffee Shop so I could drink coffee and listen to Miles all day. Even Duke digs Miles. He is sleeping with Miles on and daddy is typing this while enjoying Miles Davis at Newport 1958 with his all-star band: John Coltrane, Cannonall Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb.

If you’re going to listen to Miles Davis, might as well invest in Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection. It comes out to about $6/pop and most of Miles’s albums are classic even his unreleased records. I am really digging his fusion direction. The more I listen to Bitches Brew the more I love electric Miles. His executions on these tracks are beyond beauty.

Duke was sent home from daycare today. The CMS at work is down and I am tired of looking at the wheels spinning on my browsers but get no where so I popped up another window to check on the World Cup. Somehow I landed on World Cup Girls. Check out this Korean babe from the previous World Cup.

I caught a bit of Portugal vs North Korean this morning, but had to get to work. Just checked the score and Portugal won 7 goals? Holy smoke. Portugal is one of my favorite teams, but damn 7 goals? They really trying to murdered the North Korean.

What a week it was. Work took up most of my time. For the past four days, I worked from nine to five and then from 10 to two in the morning. Friday night I was so burned out that I went to bed at ten and then got up at 3 in the morning and worked until noon. Lacking of sleep made life a living hell. I felt drowsy and sick the whole time. What is taking so much time is the migration into Vignette, a CMS. The University uses a very complex system to solve such a simple task. For instance, making a list of links in a module takes ten times longer than just writing the simple HTML list. It’s just ridiculous. Still I have to give credits to the web team at the university for its incredible support. I spent a few days with them and had a chance to get to know them better. Alright enough about work.

Duke had been sick a whole week as well so Dana stayed home with him for four days. My sister-in-law was able to look after him for one. I felt horrible because I couldn’t take any day off due to the deadline of the launch day. Stay home one week and go to daycare the next had been his routine. I hope we can get over that soon.

I haven’t been catching up with the World Cup much so I’ll try to spend today watch the next two games Slovakia vs. Paraguay and Italy vs. New Zealand. Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection had arrived at my front door yesterday. 52 albums altogether and I haven’t listened to a handful of them. I can’t wait. Have a great Father’s Day and enjoy watching the World Cup all the dads.
