Kodak Bankrupt
Good morning! I had some issues with the website last night but evidently IT got the kinks out overnight. I've restored everything to normal. Time to rub the sand out of my eyes and get the girls to school.
After dropping the girls off at their schools, I stopped by Cafe on the Oval for a quick breakfast as a ‘counter critter’. Enjoyed listening to more of “Reamde” on the drive down. I only have 33 emails this morning? Was the Microsoft Exchange server down? ;-] I might actually be able to get to real work soon.
Bookmarking this for Timothy who is a big fan of OS skinning with custom themes.
After a couple days of debugging, a coworker and I finally got to the root cause of a bug. Afterwards we went with the driver guys out for lunch at Not Your Average Joes.
Via @RickWarren: “1975, Kodak INVENTED digital photography but SHELVED IT due to making millions selling film. Filed bankruptcy today. LESSON!” More info here. The Kodak lab prototype of their digital technology is shown at right.
Via @iowahawkblog: “If I asked my wife for an open marriage, she'd open a can of whupass and leave me with an open head wound.”
Via @CMReport: “Forget an open marriage. I'd be happy if my wife would allow us to see different movies from time to time.”
Left work around 5:30. Took a break from my audio book to listen to Adam Curry (The PodFather) and John C. Dvorak's No Agenda podcast. Along with FoxNews' RedEye, it's one of my guilty pleasures. I went straight to Golds Gym for the Core Strength class. Now I'm starving and ready to reheat some dinner.
Was surprised that Claire called to be picked up so shortly after its closing. Evidently having three girls on staff that night helped them stay ahead on cleanup chores. Brought her home and heading to bed. Good night all!
