Friday is Friday, the last workday of the week. Sometimes that's a very good thing. Miscellaneous stuff, followed by C1 for lunch. Then more miscellaneous stuff. Between Active Directory replication and the great patching system for Windows... Did some relatively major reworking of part of the Incident management system, but was able to use the same scripts for the most part with a couple additions to handle the changes, so it didn't take too long. Now it gives the users fewer options and forces a specific path, but that should be better long term. After work was dinner at Queen of Sheba. It's a bit of a trip from Bethel, but it's good food. The only downside is your hands sorta smell the rest of the day (it's Ethiopian - you eat with your fingers). We got a big special that had pretty much everything in it and everyone shared. I think the Doro Wott was probably my favorite part. After that was helping Dave fix some stuff, and then off to update the Microsoft Monopoly store. There are now mugs up there, but no thongs as Dave threatened to order one. It appears there have been a few orders, which is cool. Then the magic time rolled around, followed by a couple hours of rebooting Windows boxes. Exchange really depends too much on Active Directory (yea it needs it to authenticate and stuff, but the services could still come up in an inactive state and start working or something when the domain controllers come back rather than needing a reboot). Then the crazy keyboard and mouse not working if they weren't in on boot. Windows is too dependent on the BIOS, of which there are many very poor types. The weekend is finally here though.
