#3 Murphy doesn't take bribes. You have to beat him into submission...

#4 I'd suggest sacrificing a Volkswagon full of hippies, C.L.

#5 I'm surprised. On the last shutdown this morning I went in and shut a bunch of stuff down and screwed around in the registry. Not only did I not seem to break anything, but we haven't hung since then.

BTW, the page hang is caused by a problem at BlogAds, not here.

#10 And the ululator, too; make sure it's loaded up with high-test hydrogen peroxide...

#11 Yes, Phil---We need to keep the ululators at the ready. We may get a break and will need to crank them up on short notice. Like on getting good news about Zarqawi or the Arafish....One can hope.

Server, don't fail me now!

#12 Wow, what was that mail page?

#13 That was my mail server, hogging the port. Ugly, isn't it?

We're back. I hope we're back and stable, though [Important Hair Voice]

#17 We're back on line, with all the service packs and updates Win2K says it needs. I'm hoping we didn't just substitute one set of bugs for another, but the old server was acting up pretty bad.

#18 Acting Up? Gracious don't go geek on us now
