content management systems etc.

For the last week I have been evaluating bids for a content management systems that will be deployed across campus. The plan is for the central IT shop to act as a content management ASP (similar to atomz).

My first impression is that most of these systems are designed for deployment to a single location. Or possibly that is just the most common deployment scenario.

Gosh that was really boring… in other news… I twisted my ankle this weekend at Summer Soaker 3. It was my first ultimate frisbee tournament in about two years and I played well and had fun. Because of the sprain I have been mooching rides off of everyone since I can’t ride my bike. Oooohhh and guess what else… last night I played in the sandbox with my son. I buried his toes in slightly wet sand and then he made them peek out. We also made smoothies (yum) and ate popcorn.

I am also reading Human Behavior and the Principle of Least Effort (the origin of zipf’s law) by G. Zipf. I have seen it cited in many places and figured it was time to read this classic. I really love when the fields of sociology, economics, biology and computer science come together (sorry requires IE). If you want to read it for yourself I suggest your local library because $250 is the best price I found on the web.
