Well, what a start to August ... first we survive the release of XP SP2, and
then we had to deal with Hurricane Charley. And the push is on for SMB
Nation in a month from now. Mix that in with issues with USB disk drives,
Trend, and Malware, and things have been a proverbial whirlwind around here.
Talking of rain and wind, I'm reminded of one my favorite songs, a James
Taylor's classic hit ---
Fire and Rain (aka Patches and Bugs)
Just yesterday morning they let me know you went down,
Sue Bradley, the QFE's they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to e-mail it to
I've seen patches and I've seen bugs
I've seen service packs that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I couldn't reboot again
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Bill Gates
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and the new server is not on-hand
And I won't make it any other way
I've seen patches and I've seen bugs
I've seen service packs that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not reboot again
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been searchin' my mind to an easy time, when Google was just a math term
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your satellite around
Well, there's hours of time on the newsgroup line to talk about things to
come
Sharepoint dreams and ISA machines in pieces on the ground
I've seen patches and I've seen bugs
I've seen service packs that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not reboot again
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you patches and bugs, now
