It's very Mr. Magoo!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmmph. After I asked about the cool Santa Ana winds, the temperature just kept rising. Santa Monica's predicted to get to 92, which is hotter than its summer.

Yeah, you feel like you'd be taking your test drive with Huckleberry Hound or Snagglepuss.

Well, that's good news.
Also on the news this morning, it appears that Merck has developed a cervical cancer vaccine - 97% effective in trials. Should be available next year, they say.

Fuckinghell.
Someone blew away a directory on the main webserver with 8 YEARS worth of reports and files. Stuff we still use. Like yesterday. I have NO IDEA WHY.
Maybe they wanted us to transition to another location.
Would have been nice to have some warning, though.
And I can't work on other stuff because our main system is down for maintenance.
Going to be a long day.

Hec, your pal Phil the Unabomber is the main story in the Living/Arts section of the Boston Globe today
Man, that is so cool. Also, from the article --
Laak was traveling in Europe with a friend when they decided they wanted jobs that were fun and profitable.
The friend was Gary, right? I *love* Gary and Phil stories!

I need to spork someone in the eye.
Bets on there being no backup?

Well, yeah.

I'll bet three kittens and a Norwegian Forest cat that there is a backup that is a) 2 months out of date, and b) has a small, but terribly vital section that was totally corrupted in a recent power surge.
