Pretty boring day. I didn't get to bed until way too late since I was reading Film-Tech. Of course then I didn't want to get up in the morning... Pretty usual day at work, miscellaneous restores and stuff like that. I finally decided to lock down the proxy server. People still try to hit it so we don't really want to turn it off, just not maintain it. The DNS is no big deal, but it was a sort of an active system on the proxy side (semi-dynamic list of allowed sites). Since there's no real use for it anymore as the transparent stuff has proved it's worth, I yanked out all those RewriteCond and RewriteRule lines and replaced them with a couple that just allow the single directory on the web server and redirect everything else there. That should be stable enough that it can just sit there untouched until we upgrade the server or something... I finally got sick of faculty complaining about their login scripts. They didn't do much except insert this .reg file which isn't really used anymore anyways. So I went through and modified all the accounts to point to a single login script which just maps a couple drives and moved a few thousand files out of the public space. Much simpler now... I also disabled the messenger service on the main lab machines, but I sorta forgot to tell the Help Desk about it. Oh well, I doubt there'll be any complaints, and then we'll probably go and turn it off domain-wide on all our desktop machines since we don't really have any legitimate need except maybe AV/status alerting on the servers (which can be excluded). I also figured out how to migrate active accounts with exchange boxes attached between domains. I can't believe I never had to do that before. I guess I did do a lot of stuff today. I did ditch the whole Apple thing though - didn't really appeal to me or Dave so we just grabbed our Jikki Jacks subs and hung out in my office with Junk. That's always good because it's a nice relaxing lunch. Apple released some cool looking stuff, but I guess nothing I care about too much yet. I may have to play a bit with Panther a bit for feature type stuff. I have this thing about that brushed metal though - can we have an interface that doesn't look like crap? I can't even count the number of people that absolutely despise the look of iTunes and Safari already... I think I've put in more than enough Apple-ranting in the last two days though. My iso is finished now anyways (some track stuff for my brother he wanted edited and thrown on DVD) - time to throw a disc in the burner and go to bed...
