but you do wear sandles with socks, right?  I mean, you've got to be an

As well as be an Environmental Health and Safety issue for the
cleaners.  It's been pointed out to me that I'm not the only person who
has to deal with my office... I was fine with it being a fire hazard, but
the cleaner who burned to death cos s/he was unable to escape might have
angry next-of-kin.

What size bottles?  600 mL, 1.25 L?  I'm curious only insofar as I never
ever want to hear discussion on the Coke/beer/lemon/potato-powered server,
and I figure the only way to stop the discussion is to get it working and
web-cam viewable, which would make it the fifteenth-most-pointless webcam
exercise in history, and the three-hundred-and-seventy-third most wasteful
use of a static IP address.
