Software Update Services Help
Mar 30th
I have now posted this on nearly a dozen forums, the MS newsgroups, etc. It should be really simple.
I’ll replicate it here in the hopes that someone can help out:
Just beginning our internal testing of SUS, and we have one client hooked up to one server. Because we aren’t using AD I had to do the registry hack noted in the white paper.
Now, it only ever downloads the updates (automatically) for the same update every day (some MDAC one).
Any hints as to what’s wrong?

Wanna Buy Me a Present?
Mar 30th
I’m always in the mood for a present. Why not grab me a copy of How Would You Move Mount Fuji. I’ve set my eyes firmly on getting a job at Microsoft, and this’ll be a great tool in getting there.
Oh, and if you want I’ll even link to you from Ensight’s homepage. As if you needed an incentive for buying me a prezzie ;-)
Car… Written Off!
Mar 30th
Cool!
I’d actually half written this post, and then got a final price from the insurance company which was better than I expected. They’re offering 10K even. Which is great. That’ll pay off our car loan completely.
Now it’s just a matter of collecting our, stuff, finding our next car and waiting for the cheque in the mail (Friday or Monday).
Friends Gets Dream Job
Mar 30th
A friend of mine recently got offered his dream job. I can’t say who he is or where he’ll be working as it hasn’t been completely confirmed, but I’m incredibly happy for him.
There are few things that make me happier than seeing a friend succeed, and he really deserves this as he’s been really hoping to get it for months.
Sure, it makes me envious, but this is his day in the sun (no, the company isn’t Sun :p). We’re both hoping I get my dream job in Redmond so we can do lunch and joke around in real life (instead of over IM).
