Yet another headwind trip home.

I caught the train today. No shower or proper change facilities where I'm working at the moment, and it's right next to the train station... rather hard to resist. -- SomeGuy |

A bit nippy here in CBR too. Zero on the gauge this morning and that's
before wind chill... and what a wind. Thank god it was southerly though. Record time this morning after I met up with another roadie and we pushed hard all the way to town. About 50kph along the flat on Yarra Glenn (woot!).

You have yummy yummy coffee in your tearoom, or you're just caffeine deprived enough that Bland43 sounds good [1]? A combination thereof, plus more (coffee is good to hold when cold). I have a plunger and semi-real coffee. Not as good as an espresso boiler whilst hiking along the Western Arthurs. But then again, very few things compete with such pleasures (then again, something as simple as fresh cucumber in your sandwiches intead of lentils, *again*, doesn't often evoke such responses, either). Then again, I do know one CS dept (that TimC has been part of) who all chipped in to buy a commercial espresso machine. Mmmm, addiction. I was a junior, and felt out of place using it, even though I was "special" enough to have the requisite rights. My ex-department also had a more crappy version, and not many people bothered to maintain it, and very few people bothered to buy coffee and other bits for it (even though said persons would be fully reimbursed -- they're astronomers -- they're lazy). So non lazy persons eventually gave up and just let everyone complain about not having a working machine at all. Said non lazy persons prefered the coffee from across the road instead, even if it was $2.50 more expensive. [1] Could be worse. Could be International Rust. HAW! If none of this post made any sense, it's because I am really sinking the coffee today. But by gawd, the code is going to be l33t -- pity I won't be able to understand it tomorrow. -- TimC When some other esteemed editor reposts this, it'll be the Periodic Periodic Table Table story, and I will be even happier. ;^) -- Emil Brink on /., about the periodic table table. |
