Gallactica Bit of Tid

"The interior sets used for the Battlestar Pegasus are actually leftover sets from the abortive John Woo remake of "Lost in Space". Woo's series never got off the ground, but its sets were placed in storage. They were then heavily remodeled and reused in this series for all scenes on the Pegasus."

Found this on IMDB when looking up the Commander of the Pegasus (Admiral Helena Cain (Michelle Forbes, also appeared as Ensign Ro Laren on Star Trek: TNG).

Anyway, I hadn't heard a word about Woo talking about remaking Lost In Space as a series! Now that would have been really cool!

First day of new job, last day of old

My contract with the State of Arizona is officially ovah. I fixed a program that got screwed up, touched up the documentation, and re-ran all of the programs that I'd written and fixed little syntactical bugs when I worked them over to support running multiple years more cleanly. My boss screwed up my previous check by not getting my timesheet faxed in to Atlanta early enough, and I screwed up by not emailing in said hours, so my previous pay check was shorted 20 hours. Which means my check this week will be +20 hours, so it will be quite pleasant.

The same day that I found out my State job was over, Friday, was my first day working as a Lab Tech at NMSU-A. Basic computer help desk sort of stuff. Yeah, right! I walk in Friday noon wearing one of my Cisco polo shirts and Dockers and find out that we're tearing a room apart and re-wiring the network! WHEEE! And we're also replacing all the computers! Double WHEEE! Which I guess would be WHEEE! WHEEE!

( Lots of computer networking installation goodness under cut! )

A question for you Arthurian scholars out there

I've been reading John Steinbeck's translation of the Winchester Manuscript text of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. And there's one thing bothering me, and maybe it's just influence from TV and "common knowledge." In Steinbeck's book, the Round Table seats ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY KNIGHTS! I don't recall it being that big in other things that I've read, but I could easily be wrong. I definitely haven't read Malory, I have a feeling that someone out there has....

Can anyone clarify this for me?
