Half Dome Yosemite
I just had to post this a little size than I normally do. I wish this better conveyed the wowness of this area of Yosemite National Park.
Lombard Street
I’m in San Francisco this week for an IT Project Management seminar. For the first couple of days I was fortunate enough to spend a few days site seeing and having fun. This is Lombard Street, the crookedest street in San Francisco. I drove down it and several other crazy steep streets here. Pretty fun. You can’t really get the scope of this street from my shot.
Exchange 2007 Spam filter Whitelisting
We’ve recently upgraded our Exchange 2003 server to Exchange 2007. There’s a lot of new and updated features in this version. The Anti-Spam features seem to be working very good but are catching some legitimate emails. I found the following shell commands for adding email addresses or whole domains to the white lists to keep them from getting blocked.
If you are like I was and didn’t have a clue what shell commands meant, open the Exchange Management Shell from the start menu. It’s a command prompt for doing various command line based tasks. You can perform pretty much everything you can normally do from the gui interface from a command line. This makes creating scripts to perform repetative tasks a snap.
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains somedomain.com,someotherdomain.com
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenders foo@somedomain.com,foo2@somedomain.com

I found these commands here.
Play DVDs Fedora 10

You will only be able to play un-encrypted DVDs with the above installs. You have to get libdvdcss which has legal issues in the US.

yum install libdvdcss
The Dome inside the capital
If you were standing in the middle of the chairs from yesterday’s picture looking up, this is what you’d see.
Inside the Capital
A brief rare moment of no people in the capital building. Most of the time we were there it was borderline chaos most of the time.
Missouri State Seal
It’s not as sharp as I was hoping, but the light was horrible and I didn’t have a tripod (excuses, excuses, I know).
Missouri Capital building in Jefferson City
We took our kids to visit Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri. During our visit we saw the capital building, Governor’s mansion and a few other historic sites. It was a very interesting visit. While we were there the House of Representatives was in session and we were able to watch some of the proceedings. Our democratic process is quite a complex thing.
