Fun little earthquake

Just had a mild little earthquake about five minutes ago. (After all, I had to go fill out a form at "Did You Feel It?" before making a blog entry.) Nice strong shake -- about 3-4 seconds (ok, probably less, since I was counting from memory). No damage here. Ah, it's come up on the USGS site -- 3.7 and just up east in the hills. Can't tell from the map whether it was the Hayward fault or one of the lesser-known ones.

Updated: It was on the Hayward fault.

I've just been phished by my own website. I'm still sputtering. ( The sordid details )

At work we have entered the season of "you didn't really think you were going to get productive work done, did you?" Today featured a 3 hour lunch in celebration of my boss's 30th anniversary with the company. Half the people you need to talk to are on vacation and the other half are attending similar holiday outings ... or covering the jobs of those who in categories one and two.
