Interesting day today. Started off the morning figuring out how to handle testing accounts for blackboard since we can't duplicate the login scripts anymore. The new method is actually much more elegant anyways - if a user is authorized to use testing accounts when they log in it gives a list of accounts to choose rather than dropping directly into the site. That way they don't share the test account either. :) KFC for lunch. Then there were a bunch of little things - everyone discovers all the things that aren't right before the beginning of school. There was a nice break for Ice Cream and chatting with coworkers. I finished off the day getting the machine ready to run analysis on firewall logs and email viruses and drop people in the blackhole. Which was a very good thing, considering that for some reason I started getting random pages around 8pm with random problems reaching things. Didn't see anything I could do about it and figuring it was related I went off to watch Galaxy Quest. The movie is OK I guess. Sorta funny, mostly in the how corny it is. Oh, those network problems... Turns out a few machines in resnet and a couple on campus got W32/Nachia and were effectively ping-flooding the world. So tomorrow maybe we'll get to put Nimda (the analysis machine) to work. Wasn't quite planning on implementing so soon, but the network guys can only stay awake yanking machines off the network manually for so long...
