I doubt seriously that anyone who votes in the US would stand for rigged elections or an election that appears to have been rigged. Regardless of how we may think President Obama has handled this, US voters could be suspected to support the right of the Iranian people and any other people around the world to expect a legal counting of voting results.
Recent history has shown that several election counts within our country can take months to complete. Even with the problems we have that suggest that voter reform needs to take place, nothing is as bad as what the Iranian voters suspect.
From some of the news clips I have seen, several voters "folded" their vote and dropped them in sealed containers. This to me suggests that no "electronic" form of vote counting is in use. My question is exactly how many votes can be counted in a 24 hour period.
And this is obviously in question by the 40 million Iranian voters who obviously have the opinion that the "duck" is smelling a little ransid.
Still here working in the shadows on a secret project. Only secret since I haven't mentioned it actually.
I've been developing a special BartPE disk that includes the Crossloop remote access software I use, Other implementations I found only worked for booting from the CD and then connecting to someone elses PC...not the other way around. I needed it for clients so I could connect to thier ailing PC when they can't actually get into Windows.
I've got that worked out now and works like a charm.
I'm ultimately planning on selling a complete BartPE builder kit to other Crossloop helpers, so I've been working on other details regarding that.
The cd currently boots and the desktop is locked down with no access to the programs on the CD, any of the hard drives, optical drives except the A: drive and a usb memory stick. Internet Explorer works for them so they can surf and contact thier technician, check email via webmail.
The purpose of the lockdown of the CD is to prevent users from hopefully trying to fixit themselves, make things worse, and put the technician out of a potential job. Of course when the technician connects via Crossloop, all the security restrictions will automatically revert to administrator mode and the tech will have full access to all the included applications, drives etc.
The details for that have already been tested but not implemented yet. I still need to write the routines to be able to toggle the security modes. That way a technician can get a process started and toggle off his security access and disconnect. I have no programming skills beyond writing batch files, but once those are written and tested, I can compile them into an EXE file so nobody can see exactly how the magic works.
When it's completed, it will be running on a demo system here in the house so other technicians and clients can get a look at the finished product. I found a deal on a Dell system that was hardly used the other day...perfect for this.
On the job front, I still have not been formally hired yet. The re-organization of the two companies formally started today. I have no clue who my boss will be, or my territory. But I have been approved to be hired.

A new term coined by me and immortalized
It took about 1 whole hour to get deleted. It appears that Wikipedia doesn't like coined phrases. Anyway I think it will catchon eventually without Wikipedia.
After regection, I meandered over to urbandictionary.com

Pretty good Photoshop work from a very talented person with a good imagination
This started surfacing on the blogosphere during April Fools week and was done really well and may just turn out to be nominated as the gotcha of the year.
The Housekeeper say's she wants one so she can to get to work on time. I could see her getting stopped by every cop in the area. That happens to one old guy who made an ATV street legal that rides around town. They all know him and still stop him! I don't see how you can get anywhere with that happening. Actually though there are enough backroads you can litterally go a lot of places if your careful.
Not all of us can get to a Tea Party to express your opinion to the US Government over recent tax increases, pork barrel spending, and general mismanagement of our countries financial matters.
Together we can send a message!

Just dropped off the tax info to the accountant. First time I have been on time in three years. I hate taxes. Actually this is the first time I have filed since 2005. Feds and State owe me a bunch! Besides being overwhelmed with paperwork on a regular basis, taxes seem to be one thing I really hate doing.
If it were just a simple 1040 form it wouldn't be so bad. But since I travel as an employee, have business which I travel, and both require a home office...it gets complicated. Of course anything with the government is complicated.
Now if I could just trust the government to spend my tax dollar with a little more regard for the fact I worked my ass off for it I'd be a happy camper.
