Bit wasn’t the only one wrestling with problems this morning.
Ended up watching Zulu [1] last night. Good movie. I’d seen the movie before. So I wasn’t going to watch the whole movie Needless to say, I got caught up in the movie and watched the whole thing. I believe the movie is the best work both Stanley Baker and Richard Burton did. I am great fan of Burton’s voice, just not his acting. Bottom line, dead Zulus everywhere.
Got back on the computer after the flick and ran smack into the Sitemeter problems [2] I think the Bitsblog’s technical staff, to wit Eric, did a outstanding job recovering. Bottom line, dead blogs everywhere, both last night and into this morning.
Some might consider it as form of company punishement, but I like to do trail maintence. This morning’s mission was “alien invasive species removal”, in the form of Bush Honeysuckle [3]. With Honeysuckle you have to get the base of the problem. Cut the bush off close to the ground. So there I was crawling around on the ground trying locate the stem. I look around and found that some form of ground bees were using the bush as their home. I only got stung once but beat a haaty retreat. For what worth, that particular bush did not get eradicated. The next two bushs I went after also seemed have ground bees. So I beat a another retreat and decided is was a good time to take a break. So I did. So after the crew put in a good morning’s work, there were dead Honeysuckles everywhere.
Then wrestling with ground bees was probably easier then wrestling with computer code.
