A pretty eerie drive into work today. The fog was hanging just enough to make you think about it, which seemed to make the people on the road pay more attention. That was nice, so I had a less stressful drive into work, even though the fog had a look that just made me think, “Someone's engine is burning a hell of a lot of oil.”
Went to Applebee's for lunch. Had steak. Mmmm.
Got the G5 in at work. All shiny and aluminuminumy. Mmmm. Friggin' huge heatsinks, though.
Last day of work for the intern—he's heading to Rochester in a week to start a “co-op” there. It's really just a fancy name for an internship that IBM seems to be fond of. They must have invented it a generation ago, just to confuse all of the hippies ;-)
Went home early: “It's Friday in the summer. Go home.”
This weekend: shopping spree.

That site is part of the “Desktop Solutions Group,” so I'm mostly doing USB/Firewire testing, some video capture stuff, and a little testing of some software that is made by Adaptec as well as Sonic. Some testing of consumer-level to SOHO-level SCSI stuff as well.
I enjoy the job, though I don't get to do any Linux stuff. Maybe I needed a break from that anyway ;-)
