100+ schools closed because of high winds. Surely the Skyway must have been closed, right? Nope. Sorry, folks. To be fair, it was closed for about an hour earlier in the week in one direction only because of a fender … Continue reading →

Posted on February 17, 2006 by Derek

So, this is the weekend where I finally get to upgrade our internal Lotus QuickPlace environment (a system which I’m responsible for) to the semi-current 6.5.x release. We’re still running the ancient 2.0.8 version, which has been out of support … Continue reading →
