According to this article, foreign travel to the U.S. has fallen 17 percent since Sept 11, 2001, and not because of fears of terrorist attacks, but fears of overzealous security officials.

As usual, hope comes from where the money is - the travel industry, which is currently lobbying for reform.

Yeah, I'm going to hell.

I’m responsible for watching the e-mail inbox for the reports production account, because we have all these old-school scripts with hard-coded e-mail addresses. They frequently need updating when someone changes job roles or leaves the company. I’ve even been changing several reports whose main recipient, John Smith (not his real name), died a few weeks ago.

So I really shouldn’t be laughing at this message I received today…

> —– The following addresses had permanent fatal errors —– > John_Smith@mycompany.com

ahhhhh

Speaking of e-mail bounces, if anyone has trouble getting hold of me the next couple days, it’s because my mother in law is moving out so she can live with her fiancee, and we’re transferring my ISP account from her name to mine.

All should return to normal shortly. I really need to get my own domain name, to avoid interruptions like this.

Man, I am on a roll this week! I think it’s taken me this long to overcome the incredible inertia imposed on me by our build, defect tracking, and release systems, because there are umpteen steps with each that you have to stop and think about. Well, after a year and a half, I finally have enough experience with each that I don’t have to think about them any more. And now, I can think about coding! Imagine that!
