A few weeks ago I posted about the Nokia N95 8GB trial I was offered by WOM World. I have had the Nokia N95 8GB for almost an entire weekend now, and here are my first impressions.

This was posted a few weeks ago on The Daily Dish, but I only just had a chance to watch it. It’s a compilation of TNG clips that shows a racier side to the show. There are parts that are a bit drawn out, so feel free to skip 30 seconds every now and then; there’s almost ten minutes of video!

With changing school districts, I need to export my 1.5+ GB of e-mail out of Lotus Notes and into something useful to me. Since I have been working on consolidating my many e-mail accounts into just a few Gmail-enabled accounts, Gmail seemed like the natural choice for the export. After all, both Gmail and Lotus Notes support IMAP with SSL. It can’t be that hard, can it?

It was. After about an hour of trying to configure IMAP connections to Gmail using two versions of Lotus Notes, I was finally able to get a connection to work with Lotus Notes 8. Here is what you have to do to get it to work.

One bit of news has been known to me for a week now, but I have hesitated to post about it because it has not been finalized. Another bit of news I found out about yesterday. We’ll start with the freshest news: I was accepted into the Northwestern MSIT Program for the Fall of 2008.

The NU MSIT Program is a two-year cohort that is a unique blend (at least in the Chicago area) of business and information technology. The program is also not cheap, at almost $29k for the 2008-2009 academic year. I’ll be looking at student loans to help cover the cost. At the end of the two years, I will have a Master of Science in Information Technology, along with the Northwestern alumni network. I hope that this program will pay off by helping me achieve my career goals, but I won’t know until I go through with it.

The second bit of news, which is actually the first bit that I mentioned above, is that I interviewed for and was offered a job at another school district. If I’ve talked to you about it, then you already know as much as I do. As the details are finalized, I’ll try to remember to follow up this post with more. For now, I’ll leave you with that much information.
