Start of day 2. I am stumbling and crashing around and it's great fun. Managed to get into the office all my myself, today, getting a minimal amount of dirty looks from gangs of scrub-clad adepts for wandering into the wrong building. (All of the HMS buildings are connected through walkways and basement tunnels, so it's quite possible to enter the right building and end up lost in a different one.)

Today I:

• Saw a Pepsi One bottle in the hall filled with glowing blue liquid


• Overheard someone gently chewing out a maintenance person over the phone; apparently there was a leak early in the morning, so someone turned off the water that a storage unit needed as coolant, and it was liable to explode by the time the researchers wandered in. "We'd rather just see a towel on the floor."

2002's Slashdotting: CHECK

Though it's technically not a ./ing of my website (as happens once a year or so), I'll allow this.

Review of Perl & XML

I question the numeric rating the reviewer gave the book since s/he seemed to like it, but the modded-up comments are all very positive. (Well, the ones that actually talk about the book, anyway, versus the ones arguing about why XML (sucks|rules))Yay
