The thing that I like so much about my job this summer is that every project they've given me is different from anything else I've done before. The db search page I made? I've done it a hundred times, but never in ASP. The PDF generation and db storing? Never done anything quite like that, especially since it's all being done from inside an Excel macro. Next week, in addition to finishing up a couple of other projects, I need to investigate why one of their big IBM servers is generating tons of out of memory errors. If I do decide that it needs more memory, I've been asked to have Whirlpool's IT guy order some for it. The weird thing about this error is that it's occuring on RTS2, which usually has a lot less activity than RTS1 (on a good day RTS1 only has 50% processor utilization, on most days it's quite a bit more). So this error is rather mysterious, and I need to figure out what's causing it. A task made slightly more difficult because I have no idea what all the programs RTS2 is running are supposed to do, and what their memory usage is supposed to be.
I found some more pictures to scan yesterday, but I don't want to scan anything else in until I find or write a better photo displaying system. So that's what I'll be working on this morning.
