This is a video:
I can understand where he is coming from. A microwave that won’t unfreeze your turkey is useless. Never-mind the oven and stove three feet away that probably works without flaw.

Active Directory / Python / Linux
My custom “mldap” module, which interfaces with Windows 2003 Active Directory via Python LDAP is growing again! I’ve started objectifying the code and integrating more with my Aims module.
I’m 90% on a piece that does userAccountControl bits. My next goal is to create a User object that I can use to create / modify / synchronize Active Directory / AIMS users. I don’t write anything AIMS yet, it’s a read only, but if that needs to change it can.
Cool beans.
Solaris 10
Got Solaris 10 running on the workstation after some reliability weirdness with FreeBSD. Don’t worry about my spdiff, Solaris 10 pipes to all sound interfaces by default.
FreeBSD sound
Whoa – the FreeBSD project finally got nVidia drivers for the AMD_64 platform (which I require). Back to old trusty after 1 1/2 years apart. My SP/DIF complaints? sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=2. Done.
Linux Sound
(Or the lack thereof)… Ugh, I use SP/DIF output for my workstation audio. Linux makes selecting this interface one of the most difficult and tedious tasks I’ve seen yet.
But it’s nice to have sloppy focus, two clipboards, rdesktop, ssh, and my xterm back.
