We now have a complete set of full backups again, and I'm considerably less stressed.  I didn't even lose that much hair.  Finding lurking showstopper bugs in a new release is a dirty job, but I guess someone's got to do it.

Said bug was fixed within about 12 hours, though.  Ain't open source great?


In other news, Wen rocks.

She's just turned 18 months, and is sitting on the floor of the office with an onion, peeling the onion.  (No, I haven't the faintest idea why she wants the onion.)  There's a pile of onionskins accumulating on the floor beside her.  So I pull the wastebasket out from under my desk to where she can reach it, and without a word from anyone, she immediately picks up all her discarded onion skins and puts them into the wastebasket, then stands up and continues peeling her onion over the wastebasket.

I'm going to laugh if, after she gets done peeling the onion, she starts eating it raw.  She peels and eats raw garlic cloves....

Correction -- I misremembered.  It's Pirate who eats raw garlic.

What would she eat when she was done peeling the onion? There's nothing inside.

I'm sure that would greatly disappoint her. :) As it is, she got bored with peeling it after one layer of actual onion and turned it in.

the way Wen can peel onions, she would be a good cook to have when she gets older.
