Precursor to a storm

My laptop has five USB devices (USB card reader for work, flatbed scanner, barcode scanner, and external keyboard and mouse) and only three slots, so to remedy this issue I picked up a D-Link 7-port hub; worked out of the box, no more swapping USB devices, plus room for three more.
We also got Timecop (another Grebel loss from the move; they keep turning up),
Stargate SG-1 season 2,
Doctor Who season 1, and have ordered E.R. season 6.
Honey's dad's back at home, but then they wanted him back at the hospital for a few days, which didn't make him very happy at all, but now he's home again.
The MS06-069 Microsoft security patch was grossly incompetent, although it may be Adobe's fault (the fix is for their software, but I think we're distributing it because we bundle it). The fix didn't work, even after a reboot, so it keeps trying to do the same fix. Eventually I uninstalled Macromedia Flash—it's a useless piece of junk anyway—and the warnings went away. I'd've just ignored them, but they were preventing me from VPN'ing into work. Imbeciles.
It's been rainy and windy, with a storm warning.
And expect a large technical article fairly soon, since I've been doing some interesting compiler acrobatics to clean up Word's object model of late.
