8/12    I find quakes to be very good alarm clocks. If only I could
        schedule them for 7am everyday.
        \_ Same here.  I could never wake up around 7am until today.
           \_ how on earth does a tiny earthquake wake you up?!
                \_ Oh...this "tiny" earthquake is the one that created big
                   crack on hwy 101 this morning?
                \_ It was pretty good quake.  It set off some of the car alarms
                   on my street.
                   \_ was it felt in berkeley at all?
                   \_ well, a passing Harley will set some car
                        alarms off too...
        \_ What quake?  --didn't feel a thing
          \_ How about 5.4 quake hitting south B.A.?
          \_ I didn't either.  What area was it hitting?
                \_ check out http://www.sjmercury.com for details.  Front

10/20  Earthquake!
       http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71667366.html
       \_ It's funny that the Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill just
          took place this morning.  It'd be even more funny if the quake hit
          during the drill.

12/2    So I am trying to convince my company to take disaster planning
        more seriously. Does anyone have any hard numbers on how often
        data centers fail? I mean blow up, burn down, flood, etc, with
        total loss of all services for an extended period of time.
        \_ hard numbers tend to be SEKRET.  But check out Yahoo's recent
           outage and UltraDNS' outage.  Those were both pretty bad.

7/29    5.8 quake in LA
        \_ Felt exactly like Whittier quake, so it's not surprising it's
           roughly the same size. A whole lotta shaking, though.
        \_ Chino Hills is NOT Los Angeles. Los Angeles is in-between
           the 110 the 10 and the 5. Chino Hills is far away from
           Los Angeles. Fucking ignorant northerners. To be precise,

5/19    Picture of China earthquake site.

        I don't know what to say.  It's good if the China earthquake victims
        are drawing inspiration and encouragement from the Sep 11 victims.  I
        just hope that the flag wasn't planted by the Reuters journalist
        himself trying to get a Pulitzer Prize.

10/30   Whoo big earthquake
        \_ Was it just me, or did this quake feel very different than the other
           ones I went through?  In all the other ones I went through (San Jose
           during Loma Prieta quake in '89, Irvine during Northridge quake in
           '94, and a few smaller ones), the buildings swung or shook.
           However, last night my house in Fremont literally vibrated

Sharks Get First Win in Western Finals Evgeni Nabokov finally got a victory over his former backup. He also got the San Jose Sharks back in the Western Conference finals. Arnold Schwarzenegger released a $103 billion plan for restoring California's financial health Thursday that calls for cutting spending in all departments and services but backs away from some of the most painful reductions he proposed in January. Rumsfeld: No cover-up of abuses Hoping to contain a spreading scandal, Defense Secretary Donald H Rumsfeld went to the Abu Ghraib prison camp and insisted the Pentagon did not try to cover up abuses there. Canada's team Sharks face a frenzy in Calgary Oh sure, we like our Sharks. A lot of people are very passionate about the San Jose team. On game day, there are thousands of team jerseys worn in town. A few people even have Sharks flags attached to their car. Brotherly bond SJSU'S FRANDSEN INSPIRED BY CANCER-STRICKEN SIBLING Senior third baseman Kevin Frandsen, told by several colleges that he wasn't good enough to merit a scholarship, is one hit from breaking San Jose State's career record. But the true marvel is that his brother DJ is alive to see it. Opening this weekend "Troy" abounds with buff bodies, epic battle scenes and Greek history lessons, "Breakin' All the Rules" is "Pillow Talk" for the hip-hop generation, "Twilight Samurai" creeps into your affections with admirable stealth, and "James' Journey to Jerusalem" is a wise, clever Israeli film. Google to place ads with images In a key departure from its text-only advertising strategy, search engine leader Google said Wednesday that will it begin to accept the banner-like image ads that are common on other parts of the Internet.
