This morning one of my cow orkers was escorted off the premises. There are now two guys sitting at his desk going through his computers looking for something. (I hope they know Linux, because that’s all that’s on one of the two computers.)

Never noticed that before…
I never noticed this before, but if you put a URL in when you’re commenting on my blog, it doesn’t actually put the URL in there, but rather puts in a URL for a local redirection CGI that will send you to the correct place.

I was just entering a new “Bad Job Experiences” entry, and had been working on it for about an hour when I suddenly got a pop-up “The application Mozilla has unexpectedly quit”. Buggrit. I haven’t had Mozilla quit on me since the 0.9 days. But that’s the third time an application has unexpectedly quit on my today, so I guess it’s time for a reboot.
I think next time I’m going to edit these entries using vi and cut and paste them. At least when vi quits, I can do a “vi -r” and get back most of it.
