So today started off a bit late, seeing as I somehow managed to confuse the off switch and the snooze button on my alarm. Willowgate for lunch, which was good of course. I still find it funny when to order you just say "yep" a few times and the whole process is about 15 seconds. When I left for lunch, I had around 120 messages in my Inbox. Not a whole lot, as it was sorta a slow day. I came back from lunch to "[Folder "INBOX" opened with 6,125 messages]". Oops. I managed to have one of the servers send my boss and I a few thousand more emails than expected, to the point evolution was having a bit of a problem dealing with all them (the exchange server gets a bit annoyed and puts weird delays when doing lots of moves). I went in and ended up removing 2100 messages from mail server queue, and 2700 from another, which was a bit nicer waiting until it delivered them all... Overall I'm guestimating I got around 8,000 emails today, which is about 4x the normal amount lately. And in the process learned that mailman's bounce detection doesn't respect the don't notify admins when you repeatedly bounce many thousands of messages into it... After work a bunch of people picked up KFC and came over to eat and watch Matrix Reloaded. Like the first one I liked it better the second time around. They like to hide little things in the movies you just don't pick up the first time. Especially since for movies like that part of the fun of the first time is going crazy with friends and hanging out at a theater for a movie starting at midnight when you're already lacking on sleep. Anyways, that was over early since Dave had to work at 10 and brooke had to make a phone call to the other side of the world. So I settled in for a bit of web browsing, which worked for a while, but then something on the Internet blew up. Paul Boyum and I decided that it's something big since we're both seeing the problem from different networks and it seems to be where the whole metro area connects up to the backbones. That's probably not a good thing... Hopefully after a half-day or so of sleeping it'll be working again. :)
