all your database are belong to rails

just read about DrySQL and thought it was the best thing ever.  It now makes ActiveRecord smart enough to ask the database for associations instead of you.

ruby heart ADSI

so i was trying to find an example of how to use win32ole in ruby that does’t involve excel and stumbled across this interesting post about ADSI. so now armed with this and the reference at MSDN, i now have the shoulder mounted missile launcher i need to crack active directory.

require 'win32ole'
domain = WIN32OLE.connect("WinNT://my_domain.com")
user = domain.Create("user", "my_username")
user.FullName = "Foo Bar"
user.Description = "just a lil ol' test of how ruby <3 ADSI"
user.SetPassword = "my_password"
user.SetInfo
now that i’ve been freed of point-n-click-administration hell, i wonder what i’m going to do with all that free time.
