Yesterday was a nice relaxing day for a while. Woke up sometime in the afternoon but didn't really get up for a long time. Then I quick scanned through the MTV Video Music Awards. I was mainly looking for Evanescence since Betsy had asked me to record it, and I'm a fan of them too. I watched that intro segment that everyone has been talking about. I don't really see the appeal of any of it. Some people just don't act normal if it'll attract attention... Anyways, Evanescence only presented, no performances. :( What really upset me was they lost two different awards, one to Linkin' Park, and the other to 50 Cent. While I occationally listen to 50 Cent, I don't think he is anywhere close to Evanescence, and Linkin' Park is just crap... Then I ended up watching The Pianist which was a decent movie, but rather long. It seemed to just drag on an on... I didn't end up watching any more because by then it was time to fill out way too many forms. Tuesday was the first day of school, and some classes were enjoyed, others were hated. I'm just glad I'm done with them... :) First day with new students at the Help Desk, and they definitely aren't used to stuff yet. Lots of routine stuff, people needing access to things, etc... We had a meeting to figure out why people keep needing to go back into the black hole when we take them out. We pretty much agreed that it was extremely unlikely that spyware was generating the average of 120 pings/sec that infected machines were hitting, so they get to sit in the black hole until they figure out how to get it off. Also decided on a schedule to start registration for all machines on campus in stages by building. Should be interesting when it startks kicking in. I got Nimda modified to find existing Incidents for users who have been BlackHoled and then cleaned and update them rather than create a new one if they need to go back in. It keeps the history a bit better, and means that people are a little more careful about whether the user is likely to actually be clean. Finally left a little late, and discovered another DVD-A arrived. I spent the weekend enjoying the Eagles Hotel California disc, so was looking forward to it. The disc is Missy Elliot's Miss E...so addictive. While not my favorite musical style, it does show the format very well - very clean. I'm gonna have to watch the volume levels for the sake of my hearing (because it's so clean it's hard to get a good sense of volume - it can be loud enough to hear on the other side of the house through walls and floors, but still not sound that loud in the room). Now they just need to release more stuff in the format.
