The galley is open

For a while now, I’ve wanted to start my own food blog. Having prepared first-post-worthy demi-feast on Sunday to celebrate the Lunar New Year, I figured this was as good of a time as any to do so. You can check out my food blog, the Galley, at http://vikingpirateenterprises.com/galley/.

I’m impressed

The following bounce message appeared in a ticket I was working on last night:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: Mail quota exceeded

This is the first proof I’ve ever had that people are capable of filling gmail accounts. The last I checked, my own primary gmail account contains just over 1k messages, and has used about a third of my 2800MB quota. I don’t know if this account has the same quota or not, but, even if it’s less, this is still impressive in a highly geeky way.

… and stay down.

While we up North are dealing with heavy snowstorms, New Orleans has problems of their own, in the form of a tornado. To quote the article (emphasis mine):

In New Orleans’ Gentilly neighborhood, Stella Chambers died after the twister slammed into her FEMA trailer, ripping it and a newly renovated home apart and scattering debris about 200 feet to the Industrial Canal levee.

This woman was still living in a Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer post-Hurricane Katrina. That’s definitely adding FEMA-related insult to FEMA-related injury (or is it the other way around in this case?)
