I have a handy alarm clock that automatically adjusts for daylight savings. Thanks to the US Congress, I get to replace it next year:
Starting in March 2007, daylight time in the United States will begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.
[ Daylight Time ]
How on earth could congress make a change to the US policy regarding Daylight Savings and not have it be to get rid of it? Now we're extending it by another month (give or take)?
And, for those of us that write software, we need to think hard if we coded for daylight savings anywhere, and update that code. Perhaps congress is worried that we don't have enough to program, and changing the rules frequently will help to employ programmers...
OK, I'll admit it, I don't know much about Macs. And, it seems, I'm not a wizard at Active Directory either. Googling how to "connect" your Mac to AD (on OS 10.4) has helped a bit, but I'm not sure how much I can trust the "this is how I did it" type how tos...
So, my fine readers, who also know about Macs and such, what book will give me the answer to this and provide me a good reference to the correct ways to run Macs in a Windows LAN environment? I'm putting you to the challenge, and I'm expecting big things...
For some reason I thought Rachael Ray came from a foodie family. Not only is that far from the truth, but when she "hit it" she bought the cabin she was living in. Not some fancy swank mansion, but a cabin in the Adirondacks. Now how cool is that?
Ms. Ray and her mom drove nine hours south in a snowstorm, and she nailed the "Today" show appearance. The next day, she said, the Food Network signed her to a $360,000 contract to teach America what she had been teaching the folks upstate. The first thing she did was to reupholster the old family furniture in the cabin. Then she bought the place.

I'm no Seth Godin, but it seems to me that you can't go wrong with a statement like this:
To fight Superman, you can't send an ordinary ape — you need Hanuman," he says, invoking the name of the monkey-god hero of Hindu mythology. "And Banrie is Hanuman."
[ TIME Europe ]
I'm rather sure I overheard a very similar statement in a meeting the other day...
Still don't have the phone, but I have a list of goodies to install, including this:
As the name suggests is does conversions - it supports four types of conversions, each with up to 10 categories. Currency Measures - 1 inch = 2.5 Centimetres etc Temperature - Celsius <-> Fahrenheit

Numerous times over the years I stumble across something that requires the use of LDAP. In the past I've tried to locate a program to assist me in exploring LDAP from the perspective of the program that will be doing the same thing. I found a weak one developed by whichever University used to be so very involved with LDAP, but it still confused me to no end.
Once again I have come across LDAP. This time, however, I found the program that I wanted all along. And it's free:
LDAP Browser is a lightweight version of LDAP Administrator with limited functionality.
[ Softerra LDAP Administrator/Browser ]
Do I understand LDAP any more than before? Not really. Does this tool help me to stave off that requirement? It seems to. I can continue along in my bliss, not truly knowing what LDAP is, all because the LDAP browser can easily show me the info that I need, and provide me with URLs that correspond to branches on a directory tree.
For those interested in the freeware version of CodeSmith, the 2.6 freeware version will continue to be available here.

The reports of your death were greatly exaggerated.
3.0 may be "all that", but until I can tell how 2.6 differs from 3.0 and 3.0 from 3.0 pro, I'll be continuing to sponge off of the good nature of Eric J. Smith and his fine free code generator.
