Cool stuff. Konfabulator is an OS X app that provides little widgets of information right on the desktop. They finally released a Windows version. Get it here. It’s spiffy, and there’s even a Milwaukee traffic camera widget, but the images seem pretty old (6 months). Maybe there’s an update to it, but I’ve been too busy today to play around with it.
Speaking of too busy, I’ve identified the source of my pain. It’s my own personal nemesis. Now, Sherlock Holmes had his Dr. Moriarity, Batman had his in The Joker, Superman had Lex Luthor, Bart Simpson has Sideshow Bob, and I could go on and on.
I’ve determined who my personal nemesis is. It’s actually a number of people, but they fall under one grouping. They are: Domain Users.Domain Users is an group in Active Directory that contains all the users permitted to use network resources.
They are my personal nemesis.
Unfortunately, without them, there is no use for me. They cause me endless amounts of frustration and stress, but without them, I am nothing. Sure, without Moriarity, Holmes can still solve mysteries. Batman and Superman have plenty of other bad guys to take care of without Joker or Luthor. And Bart, well, he’s essentially a nemesis himself, so he can live without Sideshow Bob.
With Domain Users gone, I am nothing. For I am also one of them. I’m just also a member of other groups.
The level of stupidity that reigns amongst these cretins is, well, stupefying. Some people just shouldn’t have contact with certain things.
You don’t want Stevie Wonder as a chauffeur. Steven Hawking, although immensely brilliant, should probably not be involved in either whittling or fielding fly balls. I don’t think you’d want Roman Polanski watching over your teenage daughter’s slumber party either.
Most Domain Users (or DUh for short, the extra ‘h’ is for heathens, or maybe it’s for hellraiser, or something. Okay I just like calling the group ‘duh!”) should not be allowed to touch computers. Nothing is wrong with that. I personally should not be entrusted to watch over your barbequed meats while you run to the store. I’ll eat them. I’m like a dog that way.
Oh, and your liquor. Never let me around that.
But some of these people are outright stupid. I had to answer a call today to see if it was okay for the DUh to click on a pop-up window. It’s never okay to do that. Then there’s the guy who undocked his lsptop to install his Palm and couldn’t get back on the network.
Docking it again might help, gayrod!
Grrr…
I think it’s time for me to seriously reconsider that correspondence course as a lobotomy specialist I saw advertised on late night TV.
