New Truck

by @ Sunday, July 31st, 2005. Filed under general

So with the huge manufacturer discounts did you go buy a new car? If not, why not? Hopefully you at least looked if you had any interest at all. Prices were amazingly low. How low? I went and looked and found a Dodge 2500 4×4 PowerWagon, sticker price $42,000 for $34,000. That is $8,000 discount. […]

Microsoft Beta Confusion.

by @ Saturday, July 30th, 2005. Filed under general

I have been a beta tester of Microsoft products for quite a long time. Something that never ceases to confuse me is why they can’t stick with the same web site for the betas. I would say in the last 4 or so years I have had to go to a different website for every […]

Microsoft attacking former employee…

by @ Friday, July 29th, 2005. Filed under general

Hey, that is sort of a sensationalist title I guess. But now that I have your attention… This is about an employee who left MS because he was successfully recruited by Google.

by @ Monday, July 18th, 2005. Filed under tech

Do you know the name Sanjay Tandon? If not, and you are into Active Directory, that is a bit surprising. Sanjay was one of the AD Dev Security guys (a PM actually) at Microsoft. He was directly responsible for putting together the AD Delegation Whitepaper that you can find here that quite frankly should have […]

Moving objects between OUs

by @ Sunday, July 17th, 2005. Filed under tech

The question “what permissions do I need to delegate to move objects between OUs?” seems to crop up in the newsgroups again and again. Whenever I encounter the question I post some info originally posted to the groups by Dmitri Gavrilov back in 2003. If you don’t know who Dmitri is, he is one of […]

Vacation

by @ Friday, July 1st, 2005. Filed under general

Yes, I am doing something I rarely did as a contractor. Taking a vacation, a real vacation, one where I actually still get paid. What an amazing concept. As a contractor you make enough (well if you did it right) to not have to worry about taking an unpaid vacation but the thing is, you […]
