What to do when there's no one at the office? And a Happy Thanksgiving message.

Just some random thoughts - a GREAT price on terabyte drives - a Happy Thanksgiving message - and a tip for some great scrambled eggs. (Yea, I know - kinda' off-the-wall.)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my TR peers.

and thanks for the breakfast tips, sounds like what we will have for Thanksgiving breakfast.

Thank you for the reminder, Joe.

My day was a bit different. I support several major airlines. One of the airline's high-use router/circuit covering most of North America start flapping on the day before Thanksgiving? I seem to remember that this is supposed to be one of the most heavily-traveled days of the year. So, my day was far from calm. Yet I consider myself to be amazingly fortunate as you have reminded me.

Also, how did you know that I love breakfasts? Kudos to you sir and a very special day of thanks.

Thick-cut back bacon, hash browns with chopped onions, and drop biscuits. (Not to mention the coffee. )

edit: And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and to the rest of the TR community as well.

Too many of those side orders seem to stay with me, if you know what I mean. I'm still carrying around too many side orders from years ago!

Thanks......

Good to read sometimes it's possible to do some catching up.
About the sticky notes.. I use a wiki to record all documentation/needs/.. and I have a special page dedicated to my todo's.. That way I don't need any notes and I can access my complete list from every location. It takes a while to get used to it but after that, you don't want to go back to sticky notes

cheers

Okay, before you groan here me out.

Microwaved scrambled eggs can be the fluffiest, lightest eggs of all, omeletes too but they take ages to do properly.

for each egg, 1tsp melted butter, 1 tblsp milk. 45 seconds - 1 minute per egg, depending on your microwave (stop to pull egg of sides of dish halfway through cooking) they continue to set after beign removed so don't let them cook until dry in teh microwave.

Seriously, I know its simple and I thought every one knew it but so many people think you can't do scrambled eggs in the microwave. But (being a scrambled egg lover myself) I find them just fantastic.

One way I got away from the sticky notes (without really giving them up) is to use the freeware tool Stick-IT from Singer's Creations. Not only can I create virtual sticky notes right on my desktop, I can send the note to someone else on the network (those "hey before I forget to ask you for the 10th time" type notes). Then when cleanup day comes around, I can delete them and still save a tree
