Thursday involved miscellaneous stuff again, and ordering an SSL cert. The company decided to mess with the O and OU elements of the cert, which has rather annoyed us. There was also an interesting discussion on resnet-l about what different schools are doing regarding email quotas and limits. The evening was spent at Ross' place again, setting up outside. He needs a new camera though, as this one seems to have trouble from about 6am-6pm because of too much light. And at night it can't seem to get decent pictures either... Fun project though, and we have ideas for what may be a good camera to get (we'll see in another week). Friday was interesting, another day of just enough stuff coming up to not get started on projects. Ross and I spent some time getting spybot installing, updating, and running automatically on the lab machines. This is nice for both of us since I'll get fewer profile reset requests and he'll have to reimage fewer machines. It goes nice and slow, but most of the work is done on shutdown and the machines shouldn't ever be rebooted during the day (they do it automatically at night) so it should be good. I also got more WebDAV stuff set up, this time with a different server (hopefully we can push those production soon). My new headphones somehow showed up (UPS ground in 2 days!?!), which was a nice touch. They're much smaller than my old ones, and sound better too. The biggest benefit is I can't hear someone talking right next to me, so they'll be good for both work and on my vacation. Anyways, while Ross and I were working on spybot testing after the lab closed he was almost falling asleep, but somehow managed to stay awake into the evening. This was good as it was movie night. The movie ended up being School of Rock, which was very funny. Had a decent number of people show up, more than I was expecting, but that's always fun. After they left though I was definitely ready for bed. Saturday slept in a lot, followed by getting up and doing nothing. Spent most of the day listening to music (with earphones). Those things are so nice. The only drawback so far seems to be that they're sorta disorienting after listening for a while since they press on the inside of the ear canal and change slightly how you hear the reflections of ambient noise. Ended up ordering the CF card finally, as well as a sleeve for my laptop so I can put it in a backpack without needing a special one for vacation. In the evening went out to Macaroni Grill with the family. Good time, although way too much food in a single day again. Apparently I was the only one who decided it might be a good idea to look at where it was before leaving, so was able to drive right to it even having never been there and only having been in the mall once before. I say if the resources are there why don't people use them? Was a good time though.
