Wedding Photography
I finally got the go ahead to post some pictures from two weekends ago I shot. Here are a few of my shots.
Readers Poll!
I need your help. My new phone is starting to get some little scratches on the back glass, due to the fact I treat it like a phone and not a work of art, and I need to get something to protect it. I think I have decided on a skin from gelaskin.com, but the problem is I really like 2 of them and would like some opinions. Let me know which one you like the most in the comments.
Stealing From the Templemans
I know that Chris and Kellie don't hold a copyright on weekend updates, so I guess it really isn't stealing, but I had a great weekend. Friday I met Brian for an early showing of Inception at the Mall of Georgia. This was a way to hopefully calm our nerves because that evening we started working on shooting a wedding. It was a surprisingly awesome movie. I was really dissapointed with DeCaprio in Shutter Island and went into this movie with that mindset. I know Chris Nolan did an amazing job with the batman series, but could he bring the magic that has been so hit or miss for DeCaprio? Absolutely. I don't think I have ever seen a movie that really had me engaged as much as this one did. After the movie we met Brian's wife Katrina for some lunch and walking for a couple minutes around the mall because Brian needed a UGA shirt for the rehearsal that night.
After getting a shirt Brian and I made a quick run down to Fry's for some batteries and an extra memory card. It was my first trip to Fry's and unlike the movie, it kinda disappointed me. It was massive and had tons of electronic stuff, but it really seemed like it was trying to be way too much. It was like a Best Buy, Cosco, Think Geek, and Amazon all mashed together keeping most of the worst parts and squeezing out the good stuff. I think maybe if I still built computers or needed some specialty things it would be better or if I was looking for some specialty items I needed right now it might be awesome. It just seemed to be a dirty and unorganized warehouse of lower end items.

LANDesk AV Week One
I've been writing documentation for the LANDesk project all day and really wasn't sure I would be able to write a new post. I really wanted to do a quick little recap of the first week using LANDesk AV. It is the first major task we have really done with LANDesk and I have to say, it has been awesome so far. No major issues removing the old AV or installing the new one. One of the minor problem comes from our old AV product not being recognized by LANDesk for auto-uninstallation. We wrote a simple in-house script that checks for the old AV and uninstalls it. It works for most of our systems, but we have had a couple problems with some older versions of the old product. Not a big problem as it doesn't affect the new AV and we are already working on a script to take care of it.
One of the coolest features of the LANDesk product is that we now see in the LANDesk console all files that are on the network that are viral or dangerous. We can also push scheduled scans out to machines as needed to make sure they are good to go. It is an awesome product and has already found about 60 possible dangers. I love how we can see the exact file and even make an exception without having to physically go out to each machine.
Anyway, I have gotta get home to pack up and clean the condo. Later.
