I know it seems like we're running late, but really, it's just us being super paranoid -- checking, double-checking, and triple-checking things before we do anything major. It's funny being on this conference call right now; the engineers are throwing around Unix commands right and left, and some of them sound really funny when they're spoken out loud.
I am glad that we decided to move the window two hours earlier, though! We were originally going to start at midnight, which would have meant finishing up around 3 AM (best case) for the guys in San Francisco and Seattle, and a whopping 6 AM for me. I'm going to be sitting up for a few hours after we're all done, too, to make sure that we didn't miss anything. Considering that I'm already getting tired, I totally would have died if we'd started two hours later.
Oh well -- it's good knitting time while I'm waiting to see if anything blows up! Which it totally won't. Power of positive thinking, ahoy!
Right now we're running final checks. We've got a huge list on the whiteboard, and we're going down and ticking them off one by one. Lisa is totally rocking the house in charge of all of us. When this is over, I think everyone in the office should chip in and get her a gift certificate to a massage therapist -- anyone know any good ones in San Francisco? (Is anyone reading this a good massage therapist in San Francisco? *g*)
....Annnnnd we just took ScrapBook down! I think that's like step 328 or something. Here we go with some of the final synchronization ...
