its finally monday!

No! don't call the boys in white yet. (This is, btw, not a political reference for those of you reading in from singapore).

I've relieved that its monday: after spending three quarters of my weekend on my back with fever, work seems like heaven. I don't seem to get sick on weekdays though - its gotta do with a family curse or something: dad never fell sick (much) on work days either. I guess someone up the family tree must have offended some supernatural power and left his offspring stuck with this mumbo-jumbo.

I'm now relatively healthy, full of energy, able to leap a building in a single bound (make that a short building), faster than a speeding snail and able to dodge bullets matrix-style (thrown by an extremely over-aged grandpa. how about it, gramps? you gonna throw that at me?).

Unfortunately, that modest list of extrordinary accomplishments above does not include solving strange bugs.

I'm now looking at gremlin-typed problems: those which appear and disappear mysterously, and despite the best application of logic, cannot be explained.

I guess the problem is here to stay: the evil spirit causing such problems usually require some maiden sacrifices to be appeased, and maidens are in very short supply in R&D..
