Apparently, a full-time temp employee of Microsoft recently posted a picture on his blog of Microsoft receiving a shipment of about eighteen Apple G5s. Microsoft responded to this by promptly canning his ass, without so much as a simple request to remove the post. I’m glad to know such a reasonable company has [...]
all systems nominal
OK, i think I’ve got all my ducks in a row here. all of the links should work now, as well as the cms functionality. there may not be any content on all of the pages, but at least they’re there. i also uploaded a couple things to the ‘tools’ section; nothing [...]
