There was a fire alarm here this morning. I knew it wasn’t a drill, since we’d already had our drill for this year (I’d have to do a search for the day, but I remember it distinctly - it was just after ultimate had started up) Anyway, the fire trucks came screaming around the block, and cleared the building, and we got to go back inside. I suspect a memo will come out warning us not to pull the fire alarm or something - either that, or it was some punk kid in the elevator lobby.

The Habs have decided to stop playing well, now that the regular season has started up. 12 goals against in the past two games, and even in the game they won (against the Rangers) they didn’t look very good. I’ll say it right now, they’re lucky to have won that game, since the Rangers outplayed them for the first period, then collapsed. I’m hoping they pull it together soon, cause it’s no fun to watch them get beat repeatedly.

Erin’s time at work is quickly drawing to a close, and she’s got a bunch of vacation days left. She’s trying to decide when to take them to best ease her tiredness. I think she’s going to wind up taking a few four day weekends before the year is up. Since her maternity leave starts at the start of 2003, she doesn’t think it’s worthwhile taking the Christmas week off (and I can’t say I blame her.) It’s not like she’ll be feeling like travelling at that point, and I’m not taking it off anyway, so she’d just be at home by herself.

I got the wireless connection “working” again. For some reason the wireless bridge can’t see my DHCP server/router/firewall box. I accidentally discovered that it can see my web server though, so I set up some proxy stuff to get web/mail access via that machine. End result is that I don’t really have a real connection to the outside world, but I can at least browse the web and get my shaw email from the livingroom again.
