I am back again already

The last post was written last week and uploaded today. As if I am not already starting to get small panic attacks regarding me paper and exhibition, my laptop has decided to commit suicide. Luckily most is saved but I have no internet access at home - typical. The museum here is located in a small town far away from everywhere and is primarily a summer town. It is now freezing winter so all the shops are closed. I will try to get a new laptop this coming weekend so I can finish my paper and return to the online world.

 I have now had a few days at the museum office, and I am starting with the web part of my job so I can get familiar with their systems, the art works and my colleagues. I share my office with the IT and PR guy and he only just started working here a month ago, and it is nice to not feel alone in knowing nothing. I think he likes it to, as he now gets to be the one who can answer someone’s questions.

So far I am getting pretty familiar with the web program they use here, (typo3) which is very old-school and high on their list for changes in the near future. I am currently editing all the content on the webpage, making sure everything is correct and written in the same tone. I am halfway through the Danish version, and then I will be doing it all in English, and somehow also the German one, which is going to be interesting.

The museum database system is TMS (The Museum System) and it is a great way for me to get to know the collection. The exhibition I will be doing is going to be about non-painted images, and since the museum holds more than 1000 of such images, it is a fast way for me to have a chance to see the bigger picture.
