I just typo'd and took out the /usr/ directory on the backup SQL server.

I am now receiving a golf clap from my co-workers.

Hang on, I thought you were in one of those civilized countries that had a public holiday today.

[after a quick lmgtfm] ... so, you're in one of the two provinces that don't?



Also, I'm sure you're aware of the (utterly baffling) annual British outrage-storm over the wearing or not of poppies - have you read this (http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-do-those-who-flaunt-the-poppy-on-their-lapels-know-that-they-mock-the-war-dead-6257416.html) rather interesting opinion piece?

Nope. No public holiday, only a bank and government holiday. It's a scandal, annually.

I hadn't seen that, no.

I'm in a civilised country that _doesn't_ have a public holiday today (yesterday). I suppose it is ironic that I was at a all-weekend Remembrance event.
