    Hang in there. I've got some extended time this weekend for troubleshooting and upgrade prep.

    Interesting. I haven't been there for some time. I just logged in with no problem. I have to admit that I sacrificed a goat first.

    We tend to rely on sacred chickens here. If they don't cooperate I'll throw them into the ocean. :chicken:

    Some Claudian ignored a bad omen when the sacred chickens wouldn't eat. "Since they won't eat, cast them in the sea and let them drink." The Romans lost that battle against the Carthaginians.

    Lesson: Don't tempt fate with sacred chickens. Use pigeons instead. There's plenty of those airborne rats. ;)

    Claudius was exactly who I was referencing.

    Not the first or last time I'll reference the sacred chickens here. My relationship with the sacred chickens is...complicated, as is my relationship with penguins.
