...because:
- My sidekick crashed today, causing me to lose two blog entries I had written on the flight from Rochester to DC
- The e-mail for my sidekick hasn't synced up properly after the crash because over the weekend T-mobile had a massive outage. Thousands of customers were without Internet over the weekend. I wasn't affected at all until my own crash this morning
- For unexplained reasons we lost power at the office today for 22 minutes
- A production MySQL reporting database crashed and wouldn't recover automatically. I ended up having to recreate the entire DB structure, and then had to restore from a mirrored image
- The TCP/IP route to our Geo-Locator's API server is hosed and is causing ping times around 4 ~ 9 seconds, instead of less than 100 milliseconds
Luckily, I have just as many things to be thankful for.
- While my phone crashed, my plane didn't. Heck, it wasn't even delayed
- We left and arrived out of gates that were really close to the security checkpoint
- Traffic from Baltimore to DC was fairly painless this morning
- I learned about MySQL and how its databases are structured on disk
- I discovered a routing problem with our Geo Locator API provider in about 30 seconds after looking at the problem
- I'm still married to Shira
- My uncle had an MRI that showed no tumor growth
- Tomorrow is Tuesday
