Well I just read over this weeks Hey, Scripting Guy! column from Microsoft. In it, the author writes about how to script the deletion of the oldest file from a directory once it reaches a certain size. I definitely plan to use this on FTP servers that are otherwise untended. If you follow the column, you know the author’s approach tends to be funny, if not irreverent. I like that approach immensely. This time, he throws in comments about his visit to Italy, and more specifically, the Vatican. He mentions that the cafeteria serves Pepsi, not Coke, and indicates that this may be tacit endorsement of Pespi over Coke…“the fact that Pepsi is sold at the Vatican Museum does suggest that Pepsi is the official soft drink of heaven.” Careful there Mr. Scripting Guy!
