Life update

by Amanda Shiga on November 6, 2008

November will be the most intense month for school. Three projects due, plus final exams. While the OpenSocial project is well on its way, the other one (literature review) is still shaky in terms of focus.

Met with a professor to have a preliminary thesis discussion - I’d like to focus on mashup ecosystems, and/or the future of the web (I know, it’s a broad topic!). They want us to start presenting our rough thesis proposals in February…so that’s what I’ll be doing over Christmas break.

I’ll be heading to the Gilbane Content Management Conference in December with some colleagues (theme: CMS meets Social Media). My first industry conference! You can be sure, I will blog and tweet about it. There will be much networking to be done. Conference essentials: Blackberry, business cards, and meet n’ greet mode turned on. I’ll also be looking out for any inside scoops!

At work, putting my newly minted business analyst skills to work while planning an upcoming onsite requirements session. The client is a large educational institution and the design is beautiful; now we need to plan the CMS build. I am pretty keen on the new processes and documents we’re implementing for this project; my teammate and I have the same mindset on almost everything. We’re like a machine. It’s great.

Otherwise, enjoying this mini-summer in November and getting strange looks when I wear summer clothes. Today I wore capris to work. Come on, it was 20 degrees and absolutely gorgeous out!
