Note:

I'm looking for utilities to generate reports on Active Directory group usage online. I have to tell you, it is terrifying that these things are just open source. They could grab all kinds of proprietary information and phone home. Scary.

We had a luncheon yesterday on the company dime. There was tiramisue left over along with this fruit salad thing. Breakfast of champions. Lunch of champions too because people were nearly fighting over the left overs.

Iran has been cut off from world banking. That is, they cannot even barrow or steel money through the international banking system now. The banks in Iran are cut off. Iran is officially on the barter system when it comes to international trade. This might make China and Russia think twice before handing over weapon systems and intelligence next time. Oh, wait. No it won't.

There is so much news floating about over politics. It is like a soap opera. I'm so frigging sick of it. I could scream every time I hear about some poll and predicted outcomes. It will never end. Even after the next presidential election, it will just start over again. There should be a law that says no one can campaign except say six weeks before their given election.

Yesterday, I ran round most of the offices and took pictures of all the asset information on our computers and other equipment. I do this at least once a year. It is easier to use the camera as apposed to the bar code reader because the bar code reader requires a laptop with a UPS be on a car and drug around and plugged in as often as possible while scanning. The scanning is not the difficult part. The camera only takes a couple hours to get basically the entire building. The data entry takes longer. It also gives me the opportunity to find errors and correct things as best as possible. I also fix things like people associated with the rooms, typos and ownership (to whom the equipment is attached in our database).
