Today is the 30th anniversary of the landing of Apollo XI on the moon. It was today in 1969 that over a half-billion people watched live as Neil Armstrong said "This is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Though Mr. Armstrong claimed he said
it the way it was obviously intended ("one small step for a man") and it was radio dropout that lost the key word that gives the sentence real meaning. An email from opiate says he saw word that yesterday's planned Space Shuttle would be aborted at
almost the exact same time as word came from id that the new Q3ATest release would not go down last night (if this were a movie, that would be pretty clumsy symbolism).
I didn't take the NT plunge yet because I didn't get out to the software store, and was shocked to see I couldn't find the NT client on Outpost after I decided to get it using their nifty overnight delivery. D'oh! Happy birthday to my good buddy and sidekick MrCoffee, who is celebrating in true W.C. Fields fashion by spending today and this evening in Philadelphia. Link of the Day: Procedure to Follow in the Event That Building 245 is Attacked by Vikings. This is an actual page on the NASA website. Thanks Chad Armstrong. HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH
