Both of the computer problems I mentioned yesterday have been resolved. It turns out that they were caused by security patches being deployed across the network (different patches to different software, but the same overall effect). Evidently TPTB won't be happy until our computers are so secure that no one can work on them.
The weather today is cool and rainy - it appears that we may dodge the bullet and avoid the ice storms that have hit elsewhere.

Tomorrow we get what ever is left over from the storm. Maybe 6 inches of snow. I'll take that over the ice anydayearendel wrote:Both of the computer problems I mentioned yesterday have been resolved.

Hey, if no one can get in, no data can leak out! So the computer security staff get good annual reviews, but no one else does because no actual work is being done.earendel wrote:Evidently TPTB won't be happy until our computers are so secure that no one can work on them.
The sun is starting to appear up here, but it'll be short-lived. Predictions are for several inches of snow starting Thursday night, just in time to hide the Geminid meteor shower yet again. It's supposed to be quite good this year.earentel wrote:The weather today is cool and rainy - it appears that we may dodge the bullet and avoid the ice storms that have hit elsewhere.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I might go out for a few minutes -- tried to watch the Leonids from a sleeping bag this year but had to give up. BRR!
