"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

bon bon, I am dying with the twitters that are in other languages - and complaining about bloglines!

bloglines fucked up my feeds about 2-3 years ago and I moved to google reader.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

NASA: Hubble Space Telescope's Reboot Going Well

NASA's long-distance effort to revive the ailing Hubble Space Telescope is going well, with the orbital observatory on track to resume science observations by week's end, agency officials said Thursday.

The two-day repair began early Wednesday as NASA engineers began commanding Hubble from the ground to switch to a backup system after its main data relay channel failed last month. But remote control fix is tricky, requiring systems to power up after nearly two decades of hibernation.

Wow, booting up hardware that's been sitting dormant in space for 20 years....

Has anyone else been having issues with their Tivo lately? Mine has been recording reruns of TDS and Colbert that are clearly not on the To-Do List.

People were a little bit...stressed. (The actual work took 2 days, but the testing and planning took much longer.) But that's what a side B is for! And btw, it worked. Science operations are in fact resuming tonight. Yay data!

(I should not have read the comments on that article. Could-do-it better stupidheads who don't know of what they speak.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

So I left the router alone and didn't use wireless for about 24 hours. It worked just fine when I fired up both laptops this morning to check. The good news is I have wireless. The bad news is that I have no idea why I didn't yesterday.

All is well that ends in pizza.
