Work as usual. Just tedious, although I think we're making good progress towards automating identifying bustificated lab machines, which should help everyone out a bit. And should be much better than having some poor student go around and attempt to log in to every one...

I got a New Camera today. Yea, it's not top of the line, but it also was dirt cheap (like $100 cheap). That's a good solid camera though. The goal was something I can actually leave in my bag rather and have with me rather than having to make a special point of carrying my camera or miss stuff because I don't have it. It's small enough I can slip it in my pocket and it's not that noticable either. I also managed to install the software and properly tag both my cameras with my name and stuff (which also gets embedded in all the pictures they take), which is a good thing.

I finally finished testing the domain stuff. Looks like we need to roll out more Domain Controllers to properly handle stuff. Oh well, I guess you do what's necessary. At least I don't have a domain controller and 4 desktop windows systems running on my powerbook anymore. Hmm. I think there's a total lunar eclipse coming up Wednesday night. I'll have to try and remember that or see if I can dig up info about it. Missed the one in the spring, and the next one is 2007...

I have that camera. It is nice. What do you mean its not top of the line? Where's the line? I'm poor. Its at the top of my line. Wait. I bought an HDTV last night. Maybe I just don't like digital photography except for snapshots. That could be.

Well, it's at the bottom of that series of cameras if you look at Canon's site... I'd agree that film is better than that camera (and probably all the ones in it's line) except for snapshots. If you try a higher end digital for a while though I think you'll see more of its benefits. Remember if you're comparing to a film SLR you should be using a digital SLR. No fair comparing a point-and-shoot to SLR...
