Yes, friends and family have noticed that since I have been consulting at Dow Jones the index has not been ... climbing <g>
But the software I am redesigning hasn't gone into production yet, so if I am lucky the release will coincide with the up that will eventually come after the down.
Or maybe I'll just build something in to make it *look* like an up, anyway <bg>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
