Happy Birthday qnofhrt & welshbard

I know some people on my friends-list will appreciate this

According to this post by polyfrog:

I don't know if all identifiable strains get names or just the really bad ones or what, but it turns out that the strain of Noro we all caught in 2008 has its own name: "AY502008 (Wiscon)"

I forgot to mention

I got to work Tuesday morning to discover that, by the end of the year, I'm going to be working for a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC. The word is that this is a good thing - they say they're leaving pretty much everything intact, they have done this for other recent acquisitions. So we'll get economies of scale (should help with health care, buying various stuff), but will still be pretty much our own culture.

I am cautiously optimistic.
