What's all the Hubbard?

I don't know why it's such a big fuss, but there's all this press about Tom Cruise being squirted by a prank microphone (see the video). Admittedly, it was a crappy thing to do, no matter who was being interviewed, but it was only water, ya know. If you're going to be a mega-movie-star, make millions per film, and be a role-model Scientologist (whatever that would be), I think you're pretty much open-season for anyone, including the lame UK punk'd wannabes that got Tom all wet. I do think he's a pretty good sport for not pressing charges. Of course, I wouldn't want to be the guy who had to tell the solicitors "Yes, that's him. He's the one who squirted me."

Personally, considering his unfathomable abandonment of my girlfriend Nicole Kidman, I'd have volunteered for squirt duty.

If you're going to compensate for a small putz by purchasing an exotic sports car, be sure to register it in your own name if you plan on being a cheating spouse...

Email Outage: Day Four

So the best and brightest have been working on this server round the clock since Monday. All of the mailboxes, I think, have been restored to the exact moment the server went down. That's actually better than a backup.

But I'm back at work anyway. Went home for a couple of hours and got called back in to reconstruct the mini-server I built on Monday afternoon. I had to add another drive, because, now, they want to try a restore, but to the new server, not the real one. So I need it to be bigger. Gawd, I've said that a few times in my life.



Argh. I wanna go home.

_meow_mix_ has just blessed me with her IM-ness, so I'm going to go do that while I'm getting IM'ed instructions from Mission Control.
