2010-05-06

Is this really cool, a sign of the end times, or both?

I caught wind of this on the evening news today…a mobile police lab for DUI checkpoints that contains all the forensic lab equipment required to test drivers for intoxication, and the necessary court officers (not sure if that means a judge or magistrate or something else, and I wonder if it includes a public defender) [...]

42 second movie review-Ghost Town

2010-01-03

2007-09-06

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.
