Boy, try to plant a few spring flowers and suddenly everybody hates you again! Forget about me, guys--you can go back to fighting each other.

[date redacted] Overtime has been great on the Beta Project!  Looking forward to seeing the sun like we've been promised though.  A weeks vacation; that's what we've been promised when the Beta goes online!  It's so close I can taste it!  There is a LOT of debugging code still in the system, but systematic deletions are ongoing.  Upgrades are commencing.
Glad I don't work in security!  They've been run ragged with the crackers....  I guess it's mostly their own fault though; they allowed some minor network intrusions (from what they thought were known locations) feeling the risks were manageable....  Rumor is that when the big firewalls were attacked, the crackers switched to a denial type attack.  I hear they think they have both situations under control now, but they sure didn't like the coordination of those separate attacks.
I am happy to say that the flowers are blooming earlier this year - I know if I say the types security will just redact it, but the spattering has been a eye to behold!  Buds are blooming on the trees - ahhhhh, it's spring....
Oh well, back to work, for now....

[Ivan:  Damn, I missed my Stinking Benjamin!  I have an slightly endangered or protected flower (around here anyway) living on my land.  Found it about three years ago, and managed to see it in bloom the past two springs - but when I checked it this past weekend it had already bloomed! (sad smilie)  Oh well, I guess I won't be so complacent next year!!!]
