They finally traced the printer messages back to my computer. I was asked to stop. "OK" I replied as I typed crontab -e into an xterm and commented out the hourly printer status update script. Apparently the new CIO has been going off about it, because someone complained when the printer message was set to "HAVE A NICE DAY" when it was raining outside! I guess some people just weren't born to smile.
Never mind about them.
I'm currently involved in replacing a document management system called Tower IDM (that I heard we pay around $AU20k per quarter for) with a home grown Java solution. I'm doing the growing... it's rather interesting actually. There are basically 2 operations: get a document and put a document. I'm exposing it via a SOAP interface.
What makes this interesting is that I'm using Java, Tomcat, Eclipse, Axis2 and Hibernate. I haven't done any Java since Uni - it's been a pretty full on week! I told my superiors I'd have something in two weeks. I have until Friday to show something. I have the feeling though that they will be expecting a completed product - it will be complete, but for sure there will be bugs. And then we will have to integrate it with what we already have - I couldn't wait around to organise all the other crap I'd need to integrate it as I go so I'm using stuff totally contained on my workstation..
