Yeah, it's been awhile. I just haven't felt like posting since … oh … it's been since early January.
Ahem.
Anyway.
Work at The Corporation has been a series of long periods of intense bordom punctuated by short bursts of sheer terror (in other words—“hurry up and wait!”) as we've been going through a testing phase (more on that later). Meanwhile, my current private “project du jour” is dealing with email. More specifically, working slowly towards indexing a rather large archive of email I've collected over the past fifteen years (and more on that later as well).
Also, Hoade and his lovely wife Ann survived the terrible tornadoe that ripped through Tuscaloosa [1] a few days ago with nary a scratch. Their house, however, did not survive (much like large portions of Tuscaloosa didn't survive [2]). He's also coming down to Lower Sheol to visit; his plans made a few days before he and Ann lost their house. The plans are still on and it'll be nice to see him again without falling into a cactus plant [3].
