Holiday Time-Off Randomizations

Fri Dec 7th 10:26:19 2007

Each December I take a long hard look at my vacation days that are about to go *POOF*. I get to roll over 5 days, or 5+1(per year of employment) or something like that. But about 2 weeks goes buh-bye. Frankly, for most of engineering, there's no such thing as a good time to take a vacation. I have to take the week off for Beaver, Utah, the trip to Hades with all the in-laws... (which is totally unfair. I have more and more fun there each year.) But other than that it is kiss off the days off.

I do make meager attempts in December to stash in days off... which usually means add additional days to work from home.

So in my attempts to actually enjoy my time off this year, I've made a shortish list of goals I wish to accomplish by year's end... well through the holidays anyway.

One of those goals is to fix up our comments system here. I seem to get spam bombed from time to time, so I'll be looking at reinforcing some checks. Depending on how ambitious I get here's a breakdown in order of importance, that I'll be following:

• Nuke all comments for a given entry
• Checkboxes in management to allow you to individually select comments for deletion
• turn off comments for an entry
• turn on moderate comments for an entry
• turn off anonymous comments(entry, account)
