Misty morning but turning sunny, and it turns into a nice springy day.

It is a holiday in the Netherlands today, for them the war (WW2) ended on the fifth of May. This holiday means there is almost no trafic so commuting is a relaxing pleasure. It also means I am BOFH for the day. <G>

I have to do nothing as operator so I can work un-perturbed at the maintenance programs I started on Wednesday.

In the news

A DIY guy around here connected the water piping directly to the gas. Not only did he get a wet furnace but half the town got cut off from the gas supply. That's what I call Tom-style. If you do something then do it thorough.

All the newspapers have the Iloveyou virus on their front page, with varying and not all consistent comments (but not too far off the mark most of the time). RealSoft (my emloyer) and OCE (where I work) both got bitten yesterday (all problems solved by now). Being off, I did not notice it until this morning and, as I use Netscape as mail client I am more or less immune to script attacks. Netscape is too stupid to understand these things.

How many real love-letters will remain unopened and be deleted today?

 

Adios
