Those who lead disinterested in the value technology can play in their success, breed followers who take no ownership of the future of technology in their jobs. Where by dooming technology to fail.

I am patiently waiting for Season 4 of IT crowd.

I just wanted to share a login script I have finished. This script will identify based upon the subnet of the site the correct login script to execute. This I hope will make it easier to manage users who work at multiple sites that use the same domain for authentication. Allowing them to easily use their same authentication but get correct drive mappings without being a management hassle.

 I have also attached the functions.kix file I used that has functions that this script is dependent upon. If your not familiar with Kixtart visit Kixtart.org

When I first started listening to podcasts, In The Trenches was the one I would not miss. I would have a hard time waiting for their next show to be published.

I think ITT set the benchmark for many other podcasts. As well as inspiring podcasts like A Couple of Admins.
Kevin and George thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with so many. You will be missed.

I just wanted to post a copy of this email that I received. Why, you might ask? Because this one almost got me. I pay my bills but do use EBay. When I saw this I thought “what the heck I better get this cleared up”. My first instinct was to click the link on the email. I did not but rather went strait to EBay. There was nothing listed on my account and or in my messages. I have gone through disputes with things before and know I would have seen something here. So just for fun I followed the link.

I got this;

http://211.167.240.206/ws2/eBayISAPI.php?

Well I tried to dissect it a bit. The IP 211.267.240.206 did not resolve to a domain. So, I used an online locator service. It appears it is owned by an ISP in China.

So, the moral of the story. Keep it a Happy Holidays. Question emails that you are not expecting, and verify them a different way before accepting them as valid.

Here is a link to a couple games that are simple and simply fun.

Check them out and let me know if you have any other fun time wasters.

I wonder how much money a site like this can make off of advertising?

I saw this and though, wow instead of carrying around a full size access point this is nice. It’s portable and has a nice convenient case. As well it operates in numerous modes. I think an item like this is a must have for a traveling Network Administrator. I also see it useful by people who do training and sales.

Have you seen other products like this? Let me know.
