IBM's purchase
of Rational. I first worked with Rational in the mid
eighties when their one product was an integrated hardware/software
R1000 product focused on software development with Ada
(funky 8.5" wide by 11" tall monitors with an excellent sofware
configuration management system).
Rational has grown a bit since then.
Fellow Apache
Member Jon Stevens, (yes, that
Jon Stevens)
has put together an
RSS 2.0 feed for StudioZ. It even
validates.
I wonder how many other nightclubs can say that they do
that?

Gregorio: Welcome to the weather of North Carolina. When it
comes to the weather here it's not the
average that will get you, it's the standard
deviation. The power went out here just before dinner
was ready. Just came back now... just as we were all
preparing to go to sleep again in the family room around the
fireplace.
The radio is calling this Fran on
ice. To me, there is no comparison... with Fran we lost 7
trees, including two rather big ones... the first time I ever used
a chainsaw it was on a tree that was nearly twice the blade
width in diameter. When the ground shook when the tree landed
and the stump snapped back upright I realized how dumb I was
to attempt such a thing... despite the fact that everything
went exactly as it was supposed to.
With this storm, the roads are dry and passable during the
day. And I only lost two relatively small trees.

Power went off yesterday morning, came back briefly this
morning, and has been off and on every since. Here is a view from
my front door, taken first thing this morning.
Update: Mark reminds
us that, No electricity == no heat, no stove, no
refrigeration. As I am on a well, in my case the
first thing I notice is no heat = no water. The first thing
we did when the power came back on was flush and shower, in
that order.
