Primary Updates to AdFind Completed…

by @ Sunday, November 30th, 2008. Filed under tech

The primary updates I was looking to put into AdFind V01.39.00 are now done. Now I am adding/updating shortcuts. After that, I have to do the part I hate the most, update the usage… Ugh.
As I look at the usage I think, I really need to write a book that goes into depth on [...]

I am the bug magnet…

by @ Saturday, November 29th, 2008. Filed under tech

As you all know, I have been working away on AdFind lately. I added the ability to decode msPKIRoamingTimeStamp to its two components (create and update time). I wanted to test it and because I don’t have that attrib set on my test environments I needed to compile AdFind in a non-debug mode… And my [...]

Delta time searches of int8 attributes with AdFind

by @ Friday, November 28th, 2008. Filed under tech

I’m on a roll…
This evening while partaking in a little turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and some sautéed squash fries and visiting with friends and family the code I needed to write to add delta time filter capability popped into my head and this evening I inserted that code so now you can do something like
 
F:\Dev\Current\CPP\AdFind\Debug>adfind [...]

Calm…

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. Filed under quotes

Calmness of the mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self control.

A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he [...]

AdFind -filterbreakdown

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. Filed under tech

So you have this big nasty LDAP filter and for some reason it isn’t working and by that I mean when you submit the query it comes back and says invalid filter or maybe it doesn’t return what you expect for the data set. You know if you could just see the filter in a [...]

Congratulations Mom!

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. Filed under general

My mom has retired from the State of Michigan. I am very excited for her as she can now go on to other challenges. Though I doubt any challenge could be as great as the challenge of working in the Department of Social Services for the State of Michigan for as long as she did. [...]

Vision in the heart

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. Filed under quotes

The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. Seeing a man grow rich, they say, “How lucky he is!” Observing another become intellectual, they exclaim, “How highly favored he is!” And noting the saintly character and wide [...]

It’s a sad day… At least for me.

I received my complementary copy of Active Directory Fourth Edition today and noted that it is now IN STOCK on Amazon.com

My version of the book is now officially dead. (
 
At some point possibly Brian will outline what is different about his edition of the book. It will most likely be posted to his blog [...]

Just a bug people… Unbunch your panties…

by @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. Filed under tech

If I already have administrative or extremely privileged rights on a box, an “exploit” that can do things to the kernel is just a normal bug… Don’t get too excited about it.
 
I am talking about this article…

This is pretty stupid

by @ Tuesday, November 18th, 2008. Filed under tech

When I heard about the naming of the Windows OSes following version numbers I was pretty excited…. Gone were Windows Vista, Windows Me, Windows 95/98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, etc. Long live Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 9, etc.
Imagine my chagrin as I start reading that the next [...]

The opportunity to begin again…

by @ Monday, November 17th, 2008. Filed under general

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
I love that quote. Simply awesome. It describes the situation perfectly… If you screw up, you have now learned a way not to do something, go find a new way that takes that into account and do better. That works for your personal [...]

The body is the servant of the mind…

by @ Thursday, November 13th, 2008. Filed under quotes

The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed. At the bidding of the unlawful thoughts the body sinks rapidly into disease and decay; at the command of glad and beautiful thoughts it becomes clothed with youthfulness and beauty.

Thoughts of malice, [...]

Specifying the DNS Server on the command line when using nslookup

by @ Thursday, November 13th, 2008. Filed under tech

I was asked a question this week about how to “batch script” the use of nslookup to test looking up a specific hostname. The “tricky” part was that the person wanted to use a specific DNS server instead of the default for the machine.
The person was shocked by my response so I thought I [...]

To be a man…

by @ Thursday, November 6th, 2008. Filed under quotes

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And as he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in a strong [...]

Finally the election is over. Congratulations to both Obama and McCain for a hard fought race. I was sick of all of the crap months and months ago but they both fought hard for what they believed in. Now let’s move on and solve the problems in front of us together. I loved what John [...]

Trouble is not happy with the time change…

by @ Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. Filed under general

As previously predicted, my cat Trouble is not thrilled with the time change. She sat at my desk from 3-3:30PM whapping me with her tail and claws and meowing at me until I broke down and gave her her treat at 3:30PM instead of 4PM. I really must teach her how to read the clock [...]
