If I Should Fall From Grace With God
There was a power blip when I was at work today, which resulted in all my systems that use soft power switches shutting down. Seeing as that includes both my database server and (more importantly) my router, the net result was that this site was unreachable for most of the day.
The snow has turned to rain, culminating in large chunks of semi-frozen slush falling violently from the top of the NRC building. It's fairly impressive to watch, but not something you'd want to be under — something the director found out last winter when a chunk of snow hit his car. Thankfully, despite the slightly higher temperatures, I haven't had a repeat of last weekend and my bedroom is still staying relatively dry.
Finally, one last comment; don't expect any updates until probably Sunday at the earliest. My grandfather passed away at roughly five o'clock this morning, a fact I only found out about a few hours ago. The date of the funeral still hasn't been finalised, but I'll likely be catching the ferry from Saint John to Digby sometime tomorrow.
