Even though the tests still continue and a cause for the fatigue hasn’t been found yet, I have gone back to work. The doctor said last week that there is no physical reason to stay at home and I say that there is a mental reason to get back to work (as otherwise I’ll go even more mad then I already am). So here I am again: Back to writing a systems architecture for the CAK.

During my absence it seems the Business/Information architecture document was “finished”. I doublequote that because in my opinion it still needs work. It needs disambiguation, translation from Consultantspeak to Dutch, removal of some stuff that goes too deep into technical stuff and clarification of some stuff that doesn’t go deep enough in my opinion. Independant of that I will, however, start work on the documents that Application Development need to go ahead.

Currently there will be a three-way approach to this.
On the one hand I will go top-down, working from the bussiness/information architecture and drawing up an ideal systems architecture picture. This will most likely end up as some kind of website (preferably wiki) for ease of access.
On the other hand there will be a bottom-up approach, drawing up what the systems currently look like. I hope to be able to delegate this to the team leaders.
The third prong of the fork is the way the department operates. To be able to get to the point they want to be (both architecture and development-maturity wise), the department will need to be completely restructured.

All in all it won’t be an easy task. And with the health-struggle it will be a challenge. But challenges are good. Challenges keep the inspiration flowing, the brain active and the blood pumping. Challenges is what keep me from going even more insance then I am
