How to code malware in a bitmap?
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Long Live COBOL!
Will Rogers never met me.

Every time I see someone having regex problems, I exclaim: Long live Snobol!
But I don't think a single one of my co-workers over the last 30 years has ever seen a Snobol program and know how to program it.

The put class into COBOL and run it in AWS lambdas so nothing is sacred.

There is no globally-recognized organization overseeing any of these, so anyone's free to claim any day as their own for their own pet cause.
This is the result. Past a certain point, it all becomes meaningless and nobody pays attention to any of it. And I'm okay with that.

It seems fitting that the day I learned about Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Action Day is also Humorous Day. Not to poke fun at anyone actually suffering from a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia...
That was a fun list, but my favorite just might be April 20th.

I wasn't going to answer because I've done one, but, I was nowhere except I thought it would end in able - good little clue

Nice clue!
This was one of those that just seemed to leap out at me. I saw the answer about a minute after I read the clue. Unlike yesterday's which eluded me for some reason. When I looked at the solution I did a BIG face palm. So obvious - in hindsight. Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

I'm getting a new (first!) employee in two weeks.
While this is a joyous occasion, having to install his laptop is not.
First of all, I am required to sign in using a private Microsoft account, so a live or outlook email account.
Nice way to start someone else's business laptop.
So I do this, hoping (but knowing better) I can change this later.
After signing in, a user folder is created with the first five letters of your first name, so in my case "sande".
That's a default no one with a name longer than five letters would ever want, but alright.
I can probably change that too. Right? RIGHT!?
Hell no.
I can switch to a local account, but the user folder is still "sande", my OneDrive is still signed in and the profile picture is still mine.
The OneDrive and user picture are easy enough, although signing out of OneDrive still leaves personal files on the laptop.
Changing the user folder name requires some hacking and some registry editing.
Long story short, I'm currently doing a system restore and it's hanging at 62%
