Listening to nightly incessant barking from the neighbors' dogs while editing some audio.

May as well record it. Never know when it will be useful as an audio background, lol.

I've done experimental, avant garde pieces from such ambient sounds.

I sort of hate the Adobe Reader DC installer. It self deletes on install. So - I wrote and damn stupid script to copy it from the drive to the computer and run - this way I don't have to keep downloading it. Stupid simple.. but it worked exactly as I wanted it to.

I'd say it's a successful script.

This - this right here annoys the absolute crap out of me

"Hey guys lets make sure when we are making user accounts that we are following the documentation. I've noticed small details falling through the cracks in new accounts. Every step is covered in document."

Ya know. If we used a SCRIPT this wouldn't be an issue. But since no one will listen... ..|..

Why not just write said script, and the next time there's a complain present it as a solution.

That's what I do. And then if they tell me not to share it, I just keep using it for myself.

It's not a stick up their ass,... it's a full red wood tree... But yea.. But I should not have to circumvent policies and security...

Some scripts I've done are just too useful to not share, and my boss has given me blessings to share, such as the VMware Snapshot Cleanup script I did a while back. It saves so much time. (Script is [HERE]).
