ReStore conference

This week I did a show-and-tell about the little Access database some SLISters, JM and I made for the Habitat ReStore, which hosted a national ReStore conference that was over capacity and a great success.

Another ReStore's web-based volunteer management tool inspired me to put learning php on my professional development list. It was awesome: volunteers could sign up for a shift from anywhere, view a pictorial directory and calendar, clock in and out, all that good stuff. Managers could gather stats on hours worked and send messages as well. The only trouble they mentioned is that now that their volunteer developer has a "real" job it's hard to find someone to tweak the system.

Best way to learn is to have a system to tweak. Dive in!

I hope you have a chance to learn it while you are still excited about it. I bet things will run pretty smoothly!

My new idea is building my own computer. I'm not going to do it soon (schedule overload!), but eventually I probably will.

My work offered to send me to some classes & find something to tweak too. Have I mentioned how much I like the job? Because I can't remember if I said that yet. Maybe once or twice. I like this job.
