Mozilla eating my mail
Much to my dismal, computers and I didn't go along well today. When installing Forrest at one of our customers, I spend many messy hours discovering the difficult relationship between a certain new Linux kernel and the Tomcat Java code (java -version went well, but booting up Tomcat was greeted by much silence and some blockage only to be discovered by strace). XXE still blows my newly updated Sun JDK into a W2K BSOD (!!) when shutting down. And while BSOD'ing, it took down Mozilla in an uncomforting way, shredding my profile into oblivion to be rescued only by a rather painful and manual rescue operation.I didn't lose any mail in the process (I think), but it will take me some time to get back to normal operations. Who said computers help us to be more productive? Not. :-(

Funny, I spent the same day fighting with a bug (yet to be solved). I arrived to the point of putting log sentences, restarting tomcat, to find nothing different. The whole day. :-(
I stopped with it. Today I have done different tasks. Tomorrow I'll try again.
Regards (I'll come back to you to ask about your/my back soon ;-)
