The recent revisitation spate (Louisville and Minneapolis revisited)

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

So last week and this week I’ve got back-to-back travel schedules. The Louisville trip was to move the hardware out of the original rack that was too shallow (so the back door wouldn’t close, which the management at the site didn’t like) into a new one. Drama ensued, because the new rack was [...]
