New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
The whole thing just came to me in a sudden flash of vision...
Back when I was drinkin', I once laid down $12.00 for a glass of 1947 Rossi Chianti.
It was pretty good. I dunno about $12.00 good, but up to then I'd had no good experience with red wine. Or any "serious" wine of any color, for that matter. I liked Riunite and Boone's Farm...(eww, now)
Of course, nowadays the whole thing's academic. I will have one beer, and only one, and only if I can have it in the Bratwurststuberl (sp?) on the Hauptmarkt in Nuremberg.
Now that's a late-night rambling post...
But the state line isn't on the way home! /whine
See ya tomorrow, 2J!
It's early still! :-D
I'm here, I'm here... got a phonecall from a distressed user... but its all fixed now.
Hey howdy there!
Saving the world, one PC at a time.
Good evening!
Heh. Something like that. Managed to help, even though I had no idea what the real problem was. Oh well... I'd rather be lucky than good. :-)
So... didja get 'the movie' today? :-)
Hey there, sis!
XGI mentioned Boone's Farm wine up-thread.
You still got that pic that displays its unusual properties? *grin*
That is a great tagline!
I guess they attempted to deliver and couldn't find the gate. Must be a new mailman because they usually take packages to the store. We have to pick it up tomorrow at the post office :~\
We did buy the horse trailer though. :~D
I was catchin' up on things and saw the bit about your hurricane planning stuff... and the bits about what-is-it-with-employers that expect operations to continue when the whole world is collapsing around them amid death and destruction... yadda yadda... :-)
Funny... the *whole* reason I'm doing this big project of distributed storage and exchange replication and all that... is just in case there's a massive earthquake that crumbles the headquarters. I have to set up an email system that will not only survive it, but automatically fail over to another city so that the *survivors* can connect up from home or some temporary quarters and keep working.
Yah... I'm sure that's gonna be the first thing they'll wanna do. :-P
Say... yer right... new tagline it is:
Oh... and we're shooting for a 'zero-down-time' solution.
Piffle. :-)
My point exactly.
A hurricane hits, you're going to be more conerned with how to get fresh water than you are on whether someone faxed in their payroll to the wrong number.
Love the tagline.
...and a fine trailer it is. :-)
It'll come in handy fer totin' all manner of stuff, too, 'sides horseys.
HA!
That just ain't right.
Precious?
