December is a bit of a tranwreck, unfortunately. I was thinking sometime in maybe February or March we could stage a full-out assault on the thing and get it cleaned and inventoried.
If you need to get in there before then, I’ll be around the weekend of the 18th, then we’re into January and I have no clue what’s up then. Usually if I’m in town, though, I can help you out. Robert King also has a key, as does Aeto, of course.

Well, honestly… SP2 is much better at, well, not being vulnerable to the newer exploits. But, that being said, it’s also a *huge* update to the OS. This is unlike any SP they’ve done before. It replaces about half the files on the machine. They really recompiled the whole OS. They should call it “Windows XP 2… the way it should have been.”
Anyway, while MS doesn’t care about actually damaging everything, it is worried about it’s name. It’s smeared big time. They had the worst worms in history. And all I have to say is, thank you MS. Without your lack of forethought, I would never have scored this job that I created at Turner… considering that this department’s main goals at first were to patch everything *fast*.
Ahem, anyway, yeah. Where’s that lithium again?

Oh, honestly, I fully expected that something like this would happen. The Windows installation on my Vaio is a house of cards, and I knew it wouldn’t take much for the whole thing to come crashing down. Now I’m going to pretend that everything is better and more stable, though, because Microsoft cares and will make everything better.
Please pass the lithium.
