When I need to take a break from the items on the main track, I tinker with the following items:
As mentioned in my main project track, I am using this site as a demonstration platform for the elements I describe in my resource handling and representation policy. The specific elements that I am currently exploring are:
I am defining much of this behaviour in the policy before I proceed to an implementation plan for this project.
A former employer of mine, a startup, had hired a brilliant IT director that implemented centralized access control for the entire organization's information resources. I was so impressed with the smooth workflow and increased productivity that I wanted to replicate it for every IT environment in which I worked.
As I proceeded to research, I found that most tutorials on the subject were not only cryptic, but tended not to offer rationales for their prescriptions, which themselves often proved incorrect! At this point, I decided that I would not only deploy such a network, but also to write the process down. In the first installment, I plan to cover:
Others versed in this area of expertise have contended that such a deployment is overkill for a small office, but I assert that:
My goal, therefore, is to put a reliable time-frame to the acquisition of an asset that lays a solid foundation for the organic growth of a modern organization.
I have currently completed notes for pre-flight, DNS and PKI, which, consequently, is the hard stuff.
I like to cook. I find it to be a great creative and productive pastime. When I discovered that Health Canada publishes the data tables of its Nutrient File, I thought it would be a useful endeavour to combine it with a grocery purchase and recipe schedule that accounted for the following:
The generic problem this project is intended to tackle is a human override interface on automated N-dimensional packing with a feedback-supplied weighting system. The premise is that a human operator knows better than the model which dimensions have greater value, but may not have the desire or mental stamina to complete the optimization by hand. Thus, the computer does most of the work, and the individual puts on the finishing touches, from which the computer learns. The design patterns established from such an interface can then be applied to other packing problems.
This project is a hobby and gets contributed to very sporadically.
