by @ Wednesday, January 27th, 2010. Filed under tech

I have posted what I expect to be the final AdFind and AdMod beta before final release. http://www.joeware.net/downloads/beta/adfindmod_beta.zip   I am shooting for a mid-February release.   In the last 10 days most of the updates are in AdFind.

Specifically, the buyer may want to acquire some or all of the domain controllers that host the user accounts, computer accounts, […]

Seriously?

I really really hope this new Michigan State University logo isn’t for real. Why? Because it sucks. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sportsprose/2010/01/michigan_state_to_unveil_new_l.html http://blog.mlive.com/ganggreen/2010/01/michigan_state_spartans_to_unv.html http://blog.mlive.com/ganggreen/2010/01/new_michigan_state_logo_may_no.html     Current     Alleged New     If this is the new logo, besides the thought that it sucks I think… Why? Why waste money right now on something like this. We hear […]

Ooops… or should I say… You mean it isn’t ok to leave admin IDs unchanged for years?

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/187009/financial_firm_notifies_12m_after_password_mistake.html A Concord, New Hampshire, financial services company is sending data breach notification letters to customers after discovering that shared passwords, set up to simplify administrative functions nearly 10 years ago, could have exposed the private data of 1.2 million customers. Off the top of my head, every company I have ever seen does this […]

Decreasing Number of Geeks a National Security Risk

by @ Monday, January 18th, 2010. Filed under general

This is an interesting article… http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/01/darpa-us-geek-shortage-is-a-national-security-risk/ Sure, we’re all plugged in and online 24/7. But fewer American kids are growing up to be bona fide computer geeks. And that poses a serious security risk for the country, according to the Defense Department. I think a another big part of this problem is around the outsourcing […]

AdFind’s objectClass output is correct, it is CSVDE that is incorrect…

by @ Monday, January 18th, 2010. Filed under tech

I promise myself that any time I hit about five emails for the same issue, I will try to write a blog entry about it so people can find it during their Google search phase before attempting to bother the developers/support folks… Well I hit the limit this morning with an issue that has annoyed […]

And another AdMod beta… Fix for a CSV multi-value expansion mode bug.

by @ Sunday, January 17th, 2010. Filed under tech

I have updated the AdMod Beta again. My good friend Princess (Jorge) was very nice to ping me with an issue he was hitting in AdMod (both previous stable versions and beta) this last week and low and behold after testing I realized it was a bug. A bug in a very nasty portion of […]

Watch out, some personalized phishing going on…

by @ Thursday, January 14th, 2010. Filed under general

This email came in from one of my former work managers… It wasn’t him. I knew it by the writing style and word choice and well, that it happened at all to be honest, as soon as I saw it but others may not figure it out so fast…   Hi, I really don’t mean […]
