In: Work updates
17 Nov 2006This morning from 3:30 to 6:15 our firewall decided to play hide-and-seek with Tom and I. It hid pretty well – blocking all incoming and outgoing traffic.

Then we went outside. It was a thrilling sight. We (Craig and Roan were there too) stood at the corner of Detroit and Fifth [...]
