Totally off topic - sorta - Where is everyone??

I feel like I'm alone

Hello!

I know that Roy's roofing his house.

Harry's probably sleeping - or just getting up, since he's in Great Britain.

Is everyone else reading?

tsgreer · 07-10-2007, 08:21 PM

I'm here! I just got home and my 2nd Reader from TigerDirect was waiting on my doorstep so now I am loading it up with content from our great book uploads section...

Well, you uploaded more than 10 novels today. What do you want us to do?

RWood · 07-10-2007, 08:27 PM

It felt like 105 here today and I invented any excuse to keep out of the office (as the AC there is a bit on the fritz) so I organized my socks, yeah that's the ticket, I organized my socks.

Reality is I finished the last of the software installs on the new/replacement music server. The new chipset has much better I/O than the prior one so I can perform data conversions while listening.

...so I went to Borders this morning with my Reader, but for some reason I had difficulty staying awake. What an exciting day

Humid and hot today in Pittsburgh also. But I got two front posts done, so for me, I'm above average activity.

Working on my Thesis. Worse, working on the formal semantic model of the analysis technique that I've cooked up. Have I mentioned that I'm a software engineer, not a CS theorist?

I love theory. I live for theory. I get my jollies by proving obscure theorems... NOT!

I sure hope I finish this part of it soon.

I'm getting distressingly close to emulating the 'knife' smiley.

At 8:34 PM, it's 83° and 63% humidity (it's a bit drier than normal today), I don't think it got much above 90° here today, so not too bad.

My definition of Hot & Humid may be just a bit different than y'alls'.

Steven Lyle Jordan · 07-10-2007, 10:11 PM

I just got back upstairs from watching Eureka.

The D.C. area's been H&H for days, and I spent the early part of the day driving around town for my job. Thank the gods I have AC in that car!

Anyway, I've been here lurking, but I did spend some time evangelicizing for e-books at a sci-fi based writer's forum. I think I made some points for e-books there, too!

GodDamN · 07-10-2007, 11:27 PM

Its raining in Sydney..

and cold again (it was 23c last week in the middle of winter??)

Roy White · 07-11-2007, 12:27 AM

Roofing? No way! Its 102 here... Argh. I work for fedex and my truck is 20 degrees hotter I think..

I come home and collapse...

Riding my motorsickle is like standing in front of a blast furnace.

yvanleterrible · 07-11-2007, 10:10 AM

And I thought the 78/80% we got was too hot for me! Where's that winter when you need it.

Hey Dr. Drib! Some of us still have to work so we can continue blogging here.

Just getting up - at 1:55am? I'm an early riser, but that's taking things rather to extremes

Alexander Turcic · 07-11-2007, 01:10 PM

It's 59°F here, very humid and probably we got a thunderstorm soon. And it's after 7pm, time to leave work and read a good book

aleks · 07-11-2007, 01:12 PM

It's another hot one 85/84%. Looking for the rain to drop the temp tonight so I can sleep better. On the bright side, couldn't sleep so read books on my reader.
