Hurricane Isabel    [ News ]

The hurricane has come and gone from Northern VA, and we're left with some downed trees, power outages, flooding and lots and lots of news coverage.   Thankfully there's been very few injuries and only a small number of deaths (11 at last count from the Carolinas through VA, DC and MD).   Got to work from home on Thursday and Friday (a laptop, wireless connection and a VPN make this easy!), and we didn't even lose power at the house.   I did have to convince the home firewall to pass ESP traffic in and out for the VPN to work, but after looking at the IPF logs and going 'duh!', I got that fixed.
