My dad the engineer used to say that equipment passing a test isn't a success.

Failure is what counts, because you learn the tolerances.

On that basis, today's disaster recovery test is very successful.

I'm working from home on the company-issued laptop. However, several of the critical applications aren't functioning. I'm not going to yell at the I/T guys, because 1) it's not really their fault; 2) never make people with administrator access mad at you.

I can't do a whole lot, work-wise. So I'm reading research (and this).
But the extra 45 minutes of sleep, and not driving in, were both very nice.

What I'm reading: Kevin Anderson, Scattered Suns
