Naw; conversation about favicon and log files. 'A' was going to create some
blank png files 'cause he gets pages and pages of 'foo.png' 404s in his
logs. 'B' made some cracks about OCD and what a stupid idea the whole thing
was. I weighed in with 'why is it a stupid idea? And my OCD isn't severe
enough to ruin my life; in fact, I think it contributes to my technical
abilities.' 'A' asked what 'OCD' was, 'B' defined it as 'when you're more
concerned with neatness than with logic' and I went home to sulk instead of
ripping his genoogles off.

Tenks. By the by, it was one of those focused, single-specialty types who
did our network conversion ;) but what happened really was pretty thoroughly
unforeseeable.

Reading 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' again. Gripping. Buchan wrote it 'cause he
ran out of good mysteries to read during his visit to the country, so he
wrote one he could read later.
