there's a world out there

As I dig out from a weekend of home improvements, being sick, and heading back to a week at work that has been nothing short of surreal, it occurs to me I haven't mentioned most of this here.

Yesterday was crazy at work..I got in after a 3 day weekend to find them trying to replace my desktop machine. I put them off for a few minutes and got my shit together. Just about the time I got my machine back, the boss walks in and says "Start shutting everytihng down we lose power in 30 minutes." Since moments of clarvoyance are rare I just follow instructions. Turns out there was some sort of electrical boo boo over at the construction site. Power was out for over four hours.

Today we got told in the morning everything woudl have to go down again tonight. That in combination with a few of my servers being dead... it was crazy.

However I came home and found out something super neat and cool! My Tivo got upgraded and now I can sort recorded shows by title and group them. This is cool cause it means if I want to watch Good Eats I can go find them all at once.. rather than scanning up and down a 100 item list looking for things. Woo!
