July 14, 2008I’ve discovered that there are always lots of random things that can wreck a good weekend… For example, getting alarms, and emails at 0700 on a Sunday morning reporting possible power issues, then more alarms at 0900 confirming a power outage.

October 16, 2007Part of the work I’m doing while I’m out had me add a collection of test users. This could have been quite a task, had it not been for the nice features of vbscript.
