"Elena was surrounded by her four grandparents in the hospital. Grandparents are not supposed to bury a beautiful six year old. Neither are parents."

Such sorrow. And sorry is never enough. And there will never be enough tears.

Ian has created the SunFire Fanatics website for all of you Sun Fire T2000 "Try & Buyers." It's a place where you can ask questions and get some ideas on how to setup and run benchmarks to post on your blogs.

Ian wanted to take up Jonathan on his challenge, but knew he faced a few problems:

• His Solaris knowledge is flaky and out of date and he would probably need a little guidance about about how to set up a box and configure raid etc.
• He needed to figure out what to benchmark, and how best to do that.
• He needed to get his blog noticed by the Sun marketing guys.

As I held her in my arms, her fingers played with my face. Suddenly she grew still and her eyes opened wide as the sky and she leaned a little closer. She had discovered her reflection in my eyes. She stared and didn't blink. Slowly, silently her fingers tried to touch the image. A new discovery, and I was there. Her older sister started a new school. New teachers, new rules, no friends. She held me tightly with tears in her eyes. "Daddy don't go." And now there were tears in my eyes. I hugged her and tried my best to soothe her, but my best wasn't enough. And when I walked away ... her expression asked "how could you do this to me?" I shut my eyes and struggled to clear my throat. I remembered the fear and apprehension, and I ached for her. If only I could wipe those feeling away like her tears ... It's Thurday, and it's just another day.

Today's Song of the Day is Brian Eno's "Just Another Day." A nice mellow song to nod your head and hum along to.

"Oh it's just another day,
It's just another day on Earth

Oh it's just another day,
Just another day,
It's just another day on Earth

Oh it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth

One day, we will put it all behind,
We'll say, that was just another time,
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth

We'll say, that was just another time,
One day, we will put it all behind,
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth

Just another day,
It's just another day,
Oh it's just another day on Earth

It's just another day on Earth"
