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I'll bet three kittens and a Norwegian Forest cat that there is a backup that is a) 2 months out of date, and b) has a small, but terribly vital section that was totally corrupted in a recent power surge.

Man, that is so cool.
No kidding - I looked at the cover of the Globe and saw "unabomber" in the upper righthand corner, with a photo, and was like "Whooooaaaaa!!! Coool!!!"
I mean, I've never met Hec in person, but I feel like I've known him for years, so I was all "friend of a friend".

A month or two outdated would be BLISS. With one exception (a set of files kept current, so I can replace them easily) everything in there is a a month old or older. Losing one or two months would be virtually unnoticeable.

What is even happening?
Frank, I saw in the Lost thread, where you said it aired last night at 11:35. Are they re-running it over the weekend? I didn't see your note 'til this morning, so I didn't TiVo it, and in fact canceled my TiVo from recording it last night, because I wanted to record Veronica Mars, rather than bits of the game.
