good to see that the drama of last night is being sorted out finally. . .
catherine, i added you, are you happy? i didnt know you had added me, and the last time i managed my friends (to add my sister, lifeblind, stone scorp and a few others, i think), it didnt show me your name, so im sorry.
on the other hand, here's something i read in today's (or maybe yesterday's) USA Today.
apparently a "computer" error at University Wisconsin-Madison caused approximately 300 students to get notices stating that they owed $2,004 _per_ outstanding parking ticket. furthermore, if these fines were not payed within three days, they carried the possibility of having the vehicle's campus registration suspended.
the funny part? only 50 students bothered to call and ask about the four figure fines.
not quoted, just remembering the lil blurb.
for anyone who knows anything about nasa and appreciates them, we got control of spirit again--turns out there was a problem in file management that lead to an overload of the overnight "flash" memory system (different than flash memory sticks, i think, it contains the wake-up commands) which lead the rover to repeatedly reboot its main computer. should be rolling along fine, now, though.
what about me, you ask. . .
well, that will have to wait for another post, im afraid.
