Hell Hath No Fury, Indeed!

Now this is cold!
According to this article, a Japanese woman who was mad at her ex deleted his on-line gaming data. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but if you've spent hours upon hours of your free time building a character, it really sucks! Not to mention all the on-line game time charges that were wasted. Man, that had to have hurt.
And, the Register ran a couple of interesting stories along the same lines not too long ago...

New Office!

wOOt!
We have moved into our new office! Yea! Actually, we moved in yesterday, but I'm just getting to write about it today. It is so, so nice to finally have an actual office. No more Storage Room B!! I've been saying that it's "no big deal", but it really is. I ordered business cards yesterday, finally, because I also got an actual extension! I feel like a real-live genuine employee now. I guess I'll start bringing things into the office for my desk now. And, I'll finally be able to have actual office supplies. Oh, the joy! The rapture of it all!

I'm the WHAT?

Gulp! I'm the Project Manager on that?
Er, uh, okay.... So, it turns out that almost everyone but me was thinking I was the project manager on the remote site standardization project. Which is something else again. Somehow, I got the idea that it was the remote site imaging project. Nope! Nothing like finding out you're in charge of a big project that's even bigger than you realized.

Who The Heck?

Strange addresses watch my web page.
Who on the other side of disneyOC3-gw.customer.alter.net would be interested in my web page? Does Disney run Novell? Is an imagineer looking for Linux tips? I just can't imagine what the interest might be, myself. Though, it is cool that I seem to have a fan in South Africa. Never been there, but it always looks beautiful in the documentaries. Besides, that's where Charlize Theron is from, right? So, that's all good.
