Well, we survived the hurricane evacuation, and I survived the nearly-as-harrowing re-powering on of our server environment. Folks, believe me when I tell you this--NEVER SHUT DOWN ALL OF YOUR SERVERS AT WORK. Inevitably, a significant fraction of them won't come back on.

Those curious about our evacuation route from Hurricane Rita and who also have Google Earth installed can view the path The Wife and I took to escape by clicking here. Our exodus involved a twenty-four hour trip to Tyler, TX, which is normally a three and a half hour drive. If misery could be bottled and sold, that car ride was the equivalent of drinking a case of it, throwing it up, and then drinking it again. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can still see lines of tail lights, spreading out into infinity before me.
