RE: DBA Checklist

Hmmm... I wouldn't want to run to the store after emptying every beer... ;)

        Oncall DBA Weekend Pseudo Draft V2.0

	while ! passed_out
		if beer_on_hand > safety_stock
			relieve_beer_from_fridge_stock (1)
			consume_beer
			relieve_self
		else
			purchase_beer (24)
			restock_beer_in_fridge
		end if
	end

I figure that v3 could have several asynchronous events like change_channel() or change_position_in_hammock().

Also, some of the tools I would like to see would be Three Floyd's Alpha King, and a variety of Goose Island brews. :9
