Speaking of which.  I just booked my flights.  The birthday party is Saturday, July 22.  Can I pencil you in for noonish on Sunday the 23rd?  I think my flight leaves about 8ish from Long Beach.

Holy crapola!  Sounds like the "threat" you made via your coworker worked!

Even if you didn't want to make such a threat.

I thought so too, at first. But nope. No contract, no 'you need to get a Masters in blah blah blah in six months' or any of that. Something about an industry salary study and us being woefully underpaid was mentioned.

That's awesome, Xolik!

However, my 20% raise led to quitting my job soon after, so beware!

BEWARE

Apparently you don't need to have admin credentials to install Firefox on a Windows Server 2003 terminal server.

I just noticed Firefox installed on one of three front-end servers for a client, and since none of us installed it, I looked at the ownership of the folder... and found that it was from an end-user with very few privileges.

Not that it's bad that Firefox was installed.  It's just that end users with no privileges shouldn't be able to install ANY software on a production server.  That kind of thing makes us nervous.


Hurrr.

Ain't that the truth...

I, too, am woefully underpaid for my industry. I'm holding out for the raise I'm supposed to get later this summer. It better be substantial and bump me up to close to what my colleague is making.
