My network admin told me he was monitoring DNS problems across the eastern
half of the nation that seemed to start in the early morning. We never
personally had problems on our end, but getting to anything that was hosted
out east seemed to be a fraggin' mess. Mercifully, our customers in Oregon,
Arizona and Florida could get to us just fine.

I was asleep. Sleeping late because I was having this stupid bout of
personal disbelief and depression that I was the eve of turning 33 today.
Mike comes in and wakes me and Jon up stating "you have to get up, they're
blowing up the World Trade Center.... oh, and happy birthday."
Yeah, never gonna forget this one.
