                                 Bad weather

Still frightfully busy at work (we moved a bunch of sites to the Charlotte
data center and broke email in the process—sigh) but on the plus side,
Tropical Storm Ernesto will probably remain Tropical Storm Ernesto [1] and
not get any stronger. It's also passing a bit west of us (still over Florida,
but up through the middle of the state) so we'll probably get little more
than a bad storm here.

In any case, Spring [2], The Kids and Wlofie are staying at Negiyo (her
workplace, and hurricane shelter rated) while I'm going to stay here at Casa
New Jersey and hold down the fort (and had Ernesto been a Class-3 monster I
probably wouldn't stick around here myself).

Update a few minutes later

Turns out the email issue was a firewall issue, in that the POP (Post Office
Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) services were being
blocked.

Sigh.

So much for my checklist [3].
