Dichotomy...

In other news, there was a very cool hail storm here today that knocked out power to teh building a coupel times. Sal says the hail was the size of ping-pong balls. I didn't get to see it since I'm tucked away in my 5-person bullpen-style shared office that shares walls with the men's bathoom, possibly an elevator shaft, and a well-travelled hallway. But I'm moving tomorrow into the closed lab, so that should be cool. I'm sharing an office just as big with only one other person, and he's even on my team! Anyway, the storm killed my Windows box a few times because the Dell workstation isn't plugged into the UPS that's 6 inches away from it for some reason. My UPS-protected linux box kept right on purring through the outage though. So under the cover of darkness during a power outage, I swapped the Dell over to the UPS as well. Now everyone's happy and I won't have to risk losing any work.
