In other Cincinnati news…
We had a fire. Happened last night, all of the news, radio, TV you name it covered this thing like half the city was burning down, which it wasn’t, just some warehouses in lower Price Hill. Still big news around here.
Chief was very unamused that they broadcast this over the olympics and coverage […]

Delta comes to its senses
Delta has probably just made my life a lot easier.
I’ve been flying oh about once a month but it’s always last minute stuff and taking a direct flight out of Cincy would be great but Delta had a monopoly and always charged a whopping premium. Now they’ve fixed that and this personally means to […]

Database down!

Think your job is tough? think about the DBA’s and sysadmins caught up in this mess. This easily cost the airlines millions of dollars, not to mention all the unhappy travellers.
I got caught up in this sunday, luckily was able to switch to earlier flight. But since I am a tech I […]
