It's not a holiday here, but this Thursty-day is. I'm going to work though--if I work holidays I can have the same number of days as chosen vacation days. It's not too hard to choose between a useless mid-week holiday and an extra day for going somewhere.	[reply]

I did not plan to 'work' over the holiday, but because I am the current sysadmin until my two weeks are over, I was called because the network went down and the workaholics who were in were upset...sheesh. Over the weekend I did spend time learning more about Apache and CGI and DBM. I also practiced manipulating Hashes of Hashes. That was fun mind bending. The biggest benefit to this job is the laptop I get to use that I fdisk'd Windows off of for Linux and use to learn at home...	[reply]

I slept late, ate hamburgers, and logged into Perlmonks once or twice. I also upset my future mother-in-law (read: battleaxe). In all, it was a good day. J. J. Horner Linux, Perl, Apache, Stronghold, Unix jhorner@knoxlug.org http://www.knoxlug.org	[reply]

So what's Memorial Day then? I didn't work monday because it's our Spring Bank Holiday (GB), but that's something different. *Nuance* Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle plans are here again!"	[reply]

Ah, we have a Sunday in November set aside for that (the date changes every year) we call it Rememberance Sunday. *Nuance* Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle plans are here again!"	[reply]

I spent the weekend and part of Monday upstate (I'm in Indiana, so that means near lake Michigan) at a hotel/resort/spa with my wife. Three days of doing nothing, thinking nothing, just relaxing and having a good time. I had my Palm VII with me so I could check urgent email (none), check Slashdot and get a wine recommendation for dinner :-) (I need to write a PQA to read Perlmonks from the Palm VII). All in all, a really nice weekend. Too bad I have so much work accumulated that now it's after midnight, and I'm still here. This week is going to be though. --ZZamboni	[reply]
