Man we need more computers. I have one computer tied up on a batch job that started Friday afternoon. The program estimates another 121 hours until completion. It is putting together a single mosaic file that will be over 50 gigs.

My main email and work computer is tied up doing a batch PhotoShop job that has been running since last night and will likely be running all day. One of the big bad quad processor computers with 12 gigs of ram has been churning out files for 6 days straight. It is an area that is 5,500 sq miles. We somehow have to make a mosaic of all of those image tiles. I have a ton of printing to get out.

I look at it all as job security.

Back up and running.
Had some severe thunder storms yesterday. Knocked out power,phone and internet.
Woke up at 3:30am to the sound of a large power co. truck (and a pissed off large German Shepard) coming up the driveway. Got power back after they replaced a fuse on the pole out beyond the house. Got internet back just now.

intake smoke tests... that sounds kinda cool.

Evening

Further inspection in daylight this morning and it looks like my water leak is most likely under the house slab. If this is true, it's a much easier fix. Here's hoping.

Woo hoo! To Jeff and D. Any type of water leak sucks big time. And D! Awesome no issues with the paper towels.

And Joe, funny. Nice of you to offer your... Ahem... services, but not looking to get pregnant. More of the borrowing the cute patootie ewok for the day and returning.
