Yeah that's rough haha.  I read an article that said around 40 people died (I don't remember the exact amount).

We're expecting our first real snow tonight.  The high is still 50.  January is basically the snow machine here. But our "averages" never dip below freezing.  That, of course, isn't to say we don't get those days, it's just short and one-off.   Last year we only had three real snows, and one melted the next day.  I only broke out the snow blower twice.

The problem with Cleveland is that the Lake is typically warmer than the air.  So this produces grey clouds that linger over the city for months.  It's not unusual to go weeks without seeing the sun.  This starts to suck the life out of you by the time April comes and it's just raining every day.  Seriously depressing.

That said, if Global Warming keeps up, we should be like San Diego before too long.

It's around 65-70º with some clouds here in Seville. lol

Cancer Update for 05/20/2013

  On Friday when I wrote the last update, she was very much out of it and I didn't think she'd make it to Saturday.  However, by Saturday morning she was a bit more alert.  She knew who I was and responded when I said, "Good Morning" by repeating that and saying, "Kevin" as well.  So that is a good sign in terms of where she should be mentally and where she actually is.Things are confusing because she has "any minute death" symptoms like muscle wasting (Her arms and legs are loose skin and…See More

Cancer Update for 05/18/2013

  We're at the end of the line.  She's not expected to make it past the weekend at this rate.  Her decline from semi-alert but confused, to completely out of it was rapid.   She can still eat and drink but no longer has any conversation and does not really know much else about what is happening. Though she is generally comfortable when on medication and continues to breath normally.  At this point, I'm waiting for "labored breathing" which is apparently what is the last stage of this.  When…See More

Raspberry Pi

I bought a Raspberry Pi today.  Primarily to use it as the mining computer for my ASIC rigs.  I had a temptation to get a netbook and use that, since the interface would be more open ended running Windows and everything.  But the Raspberry Pi is "neat" and it only runs on 1.5watts to 3watts.  Which is ridiculous.  In order to get maximum ROI the wattage needs to be low.  Hopefully doesn't turn into a nightmare to get up and working.  Though there are many straight forward examples.  I'm not new…See More

Cancer Update for 05/08/2013

  So, after coming home from work on Tuesday, Mom was laying flat resting and they had installed the catheter.  While this relieved a lot of the stomach pain she was having (Most pain, unless she moved around and then got shots of back pain.) she appeared very much lethargic and tired.Since then, she's been unable to eat and drink on her own.  I have to give her one pill at a time, and feed her, but she doesn't eat much.  I believe this is because she has to concentrate to swallow, and that is…See More

How’s the computer programming field coming along?

A blog post I just read, published back in 2007, about the field of computer programming expressed several traits of irritation that I had previously heard Kevin voice on the podcast.Some of the members on this forum are in the programming field, I think; is the typical job as arduous and unromantic as this blogger depicted the profession six years ago? He describes the knowledge decay unique to this field, along with its low degree of prestige and high susceptibility to “foreignization”. The…See More
