One of the fun side benefits of all this rain we've been getting this week (as opposed to all the rain we were getting "every other week":http://feralboy.com/log/archives/000254/) is that now the power has decided to randomly cut out at least 5 times a day. I can't even tell you how fun it is to be in the middle of something one second and then be staring at a bootup screen the next. Not only is my concentration broken, but a non-clean shutdown in Win2k causes it to grind away for about 10 minutes upon booting, trying to recover lost data or crush Linux or whatever it is it tries to do. Both of the people I share this room with have laptops, so they're covered. I'm trying to find an extension cord long enough to reach the server APS that's in this room, but until I do I'll just be saving my work every five seconds, and hoping I can get stuff done under these conditions. I actually had made a bet yesterday with one of the coworkers that I could get a particular bug fixed, tested, and checked in before the next time the power went out. I made it, but just barely, and a crisp $1 bill is a symbol of my triumph.
