Good Morning.

Our IT Director gave our DNS account login and password to the company moving our Exchange on-line hosting. I would NEVER have done that. I would have had them give me the dns records that needed added/changed to make the move so that I could make them, or created a login for them that I could remove. Again I would NEVER have given anyone the actual DNS account login let alone password! To me it was not at all acceptable security procedure. Now after everything has been moved I am going to have to create a new admin account and delete the old one. Would much rather have created a temporary login without full admin permission!

Boy, my managers are making some stupid decisions on our internet security. And no amount of spending on Internet Security Awareness Training of our email users is going to help cause it ain't our users making the holes.

Since we changed to only using Microsoft's Exchange on-line anit-spam we've gotten more phishing spam than since we've had email accounts. A few months versus since 1991!

It is such a waste. A good anti-spam solution for a company of our size costs around $3000 a year. The training and testing content alone costs $5000 a year. And that does not include the downtime for users while being trained and tested and training personnel and their time. We have already lost $17K due to a phishing attack since switching to Microsoft's FREE anti-spam.

No wonder we can't make a profit in the current oil industry slump!

What could go wrong? I'm cooking homemade baked beans in the slow cooker.

They are gunna stew all night, I'll let you know after breaky in the morning. :D

Porsche-poor 02-05-2016 07:22 AM

morning all. TGIF!!!!

GH85Carrera 02-05-2016 07:29 AM

We watched the new movie version of Mad Max.

I am a guy that like action movies and blowing stuff up real good. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give that movie a 3/4. What a wast of electricity and time. Pitiful.

RKDinOKC 02-05-2016 07:49 AM

Was glad I didn't pay to watch it. They sure have a LOT of silver paint to sniff for the apocalypse

House smells like beans all night, then like something completely different all the next few days!

In an office I worked they decided to do the crock pot beans thing. They were great. There was only one problem. About noon the next day, after the humor wore off they all decided they would never do it again. LOL.

The same guys used a small electronics burn in oven one day to make trays of nachos. Someone brought in a huge gallon jar of sliced Jalapenos. Made and munched on nachos with cheese and jalapenos all day long. The next day, 3 of them vowed to never ever do that again, ever.

At work one day one of the ladies turned 40 and the office bought her a black cake, black balloons and greeting cards. We started eating the cake and after everyone had several bites I saw the birthday girl smile. We all realized we had black teeth and gums. That black food dye was potent. We all laughed at everyone's smile and that made for more smiles and it was a cascade.

The next morning all the guys was comparing notes about that morning constitutional. Sure enough, everyone had a black "movement." Later one of the ladies asked is I had the same and everyone was affected with the dark side.

It was amazing that in the future world after the apocalypse and it was a fight to survive they sure seemed to have a LOT of fuel, tires and lots and lots of bullets. I never did figure out what they ate. With everything a barren sandy wasteland what did they eat?

How much KoolAid do they drink over there, or what is in the water at the offices? Glad our IT Director isn't that stupid. I just ask for the records that need added and call it good. Our old Clinicals software publisher had their own "special" account (since they were "special people") with limited access to their server so they could do updates remotely. They had some of the most convoluted SQL and .NET stuff I have ever seen. The SQL would be akin to Richard giving directions for Glen to get to his house and have it be 3 pages long and include Pocono, Miami, Austin, Syndey.

When they stopped making them it ruined my view of apocalyptical Sci-Fi. Then they started making them again and all was right in Sci-Fi.

Jim Richards 02-05-2016 10:15 AM

Yep. Shelf life is indefinite. Just what you need for post-apocalyptic sci-fi flix.

GH85Carrera 02-05-2016 10:15 AM

The mailman just dropped off the mail. One of the customers sent a check for payment and we like that. The check number is 10 digits long!

If my math is correct they could write one check per second, 24 hours a day 7 days per week 365 days per year and it would take them 317 years to write 9.9999 billion checks. Not even our federal government can write that many checks.

Why on earth do they have a 10 digit check number? I guess, because they can.

Now if I could just get them to write a check with the amount that is 10 digits. :D

I have never really considered embezzlement but a billion is getting real close to my price, 9 billion is for sure enough. :cool:

Maybe that is why Max and the rest of the people in the movie are mad, Too many Twinkies.

MREs......that's why everyone is so pissed off.....they're all really constipated.

flipper35 02-05-2016 11:50 AM

Probably pretty badly stopped up with the lack of water.

GH85Carrera 02-05-2016 11:56 AM

I am lucky enough to never have eaten a MRE.

flipper35 02-05-2016 11:57 AM

I have not yet had the (dis)pleasure either. Had a couple astronaut meals at Dayton, that's about it. I hear some of the MRE are tolerable.

porsche4life 02-05-2016 11:57 AM

I've never eaten an MRE but I've lived off enough dehydrated food to know that I avoid it if at all possible.


Though, some of the mountain house meals are decent. All super salty though! :(

GH85Carrera 02-05-2016 12:20 PM

I have no doubt if hungry enough, they are all delicious.

I prefer to not test that first hand.

Almost all prepared foods are over salted. Many restaurants are as well.

There is a Mexican joint that I like but the food is almost always stupid salty. I don't understand why. It is so simple to add salt at the table. I wish there was an un-salt-shaker.
