Friday night in the Secret Underground Lair

Well, here it is Friday night. Getting ready to go to work, doing my part to save Western Civilization as we know it by ensuring that you receive the highest quality junk direct mail. Yes sir, I do quality control on a product that most folks don't seem to want. Today has been odd, to say the least. I finally got around to replacing an energy-sucking, ancient 21" Samsung monitor with a nice 17" Compaq in preparation for deploying our Linux box. That'll have to wait until  tomorrow, though.

Right now, no updates for the database, as the external HDD that holds that data is being used by our two sons to do a HDD upgrade on a PS3. Our younger son just got up on his soapbox and waxed long and eloquently about the horrendous transfer rate for the data backup- approximately five hours  for ~160GB of data. And, since our cats love cables, the entire process is going to be babysat. It's going to be a long weekend....

Time to head out. At this time tomorrow evening I should be sitting here working on a Linux install.
