The server died

Well it seemed like the server died. So the DBA made Jonny mail him the tnsnames file. But then the database was alive and kicking. So he finished up the carbon data analysis. The Directory of Operations said, These numbers seem low. What are the time frames. Jonny wrote back. She wrote back ok. Jonny is typing now instead of adding the passwords to the c sharp programs. Lea wants him to work on Billing support. But her stuff is low down on the list. As a first step Jonny was planning to pull the passwords to the sybase db from an access db. Lea set that up in Jonny's first program. So now it is a standard. See how things happen here in Hollywood. So anyway he cranked out one more program for demographics. But he did it in a hurry and it had the passwords right in it. If it aint broke don't fix it. So as a warm up for his third program he was gonna put the password into the demographics program. Or really take them out. But now Lea is out to lunch and Jonny has finished his after lunch coffee and woken up from drifting off to sleep. He pretty much has to fight to stay awake so he won't spill coffee on himself.

Jonny never finished listening past the first 15 minutes of Korach. But he listened to a few minutes of this week's parsha on his MP3 player. He downloaded from his PC here at work. Then he made some copies, had a meeting. This is the week of Chukat. The famous red heffer mitzvah. It is famous because it makes no sense. Jews follow it or they did follow it because they were told to. A divine decree. It makes no sense because those who follow it become tumay or unclean. Yet it cleans up others. Thus the paradox. From the picture on the chabad website, it appears this is also the parsha of the water. If this is correct then the narrative continues the path of Benay Yisrael not following G-D's word and begging yet again to go back to Egypt. When Alberta mentioned going back to Egypt in her Bat Mitzvah speech it was one of the few jokes in her speech. She said Moshe and Aaron were mad at the people, I would have been mad to. They spent their entire adult lives working towards this goal and the people wanted to go back. First the golden calf, the spies, korach, the water, the doves. Yet most people only know about the golden calf. According to Friedman the Jews were a slave mentality and not yet ready to go to Israel as free people.

Must continue. Over the weekend Jonny did many chores. It rained all weekend. For one thing Jonny had Lorraine return Shalimar the Clown. Also she got him Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Dune one of the many books of it. He did fertilizing and grass seeding. Jonny put up new numbers on the house. He also planted three flowers and three herbs. Unfortunately he cracked a mirror putting a closing latch on a medicine cabinet. He is up to page 152 of Love is a Killer App. He eagerly awaits his certificate for the online class.
