Some People Shouldn't Be Allowed to Program

I refer specifically to whoever programmed the A/C units installed in a certain (not to be named) colocation facility. They were programmed to reboot once a month, at at 23:59 on the last day of the month, and restart at 00:00 on the first of the month. Last night, February 28th, at 23:59, they shut down, and today, February 29th, leap day, they did not restart at 00:00. We can only assume they would have restarted tomorrow, March 1, at 00:00.

Sigh.

Bérubé is back

Michael Bérubé is back, blogging occasionally at TPM Cafe. This makes me very happy.

Wrong Movie Title

Newsweek's cover this week is John McCain vs. the right wingers who hate him:

(That's the best image I could find on their web site.)

The text is "There Will Be Blood", with the subtitle "Why the right hates John McCain".

I do wonder if the Newsweek cover editor thought of using "No Country For Old Men" instead.

I'd like this to be the year of "No Presidency for Old White Men", myself.
