As I watch our school’s computer network crash and burn because McAfee couldn’t be bothered to test their software before rolling out an update, I feel thankful that my laptop – where all of my teaching materials are kept – runs Ubuntu.
xkcd sums up my feelings on the whole matter rather nicely:
Nearly four years ago, I posted about Holt Lake Bar-Be-Que, a BBQ place near Smithfield, NC. Pretty good food.
Early this week,though, Holt Lake BBQ burned.
The restaurant was not open when the fire started at about 6 p.m. Sunday. The fire was contained to the kitchen, Smithfield Fire Department Chief Patrick Harris said.
Investigators said they believe the fire started when some fluorescent lights shorted out.
Hope they’ll be back soon…
