The day started off pretty decent. Tired, but making progress. In the afternoon I even figured out some stuff to do with profiles that'd help us out a lot. It involved moving people into groups, so I set up a script. Of course a copy and paste error cropped up, and my day took a downward turn. That copy and paste error deleted 700 students' accounts in about 2 seconds. Oops. With some quick perl scripting interfacing to an institutional database and some of our account system, I was able to recreate all the accounts within an hour or so though. Due to the fact I had run a password analysis a couple weeks ago I was even able to reset a bunch of passwords for people. The Help Desk didn't like me very much tonight though. But then it was off to a party at
Dave's and the 10pm showing of the new Matrix movie. So got back from seeing Matrix Reloaded a little while ago. Definitely a cool movie. I like the comment about french. Now I'm really looking forward to the third one. At least it's 6 months and not 4 years, but they did do a "to be continued..." ending rather than a natural plot cut, which sorta sucks...
