The Nice Thing

... about being decently good with PHP and MySQL? Being able to rebuild your phpBB2 forum after you utterly hose it by trying to update without first RTFM.

Note to self: RTFM is neither a sign of weakness nor insufficient intelligence.

Of course, the nice thing about being the top computer geek around here means nobody else so much as noticed.

Quote of the Day

From a coworker who doesn't know me all that well (meaning we don't hang out and chat much because she's insanely busy and rarely in the front office), regarding Hurricane Katrina: "When I first heard the name I thought 'how weird, because Katrina is such an uncommon name, and so what are the chances that I'd know someone with the same name as this incredibly destructive hurricane'... and then I thought 'well, it is somehow fitting, because you're definitely a force of nature to be reckoned with.'"

... I ... uh?

I'd actually been eyeing the "Reflections of a Sentient Tornado" (credit for phrase goes to kahnman) link text on my LJ and thinking it might just be time to change that.
