Things seem to be back to normal around here. I’m waking up at ludicrously early hours in the morning, looking outside to see a little bit of snow that needs shovelling, and grinding out a decent set of links (at least I think they’re decent) every day. Work starts moving again today, too. After a slight hitch in the plans yesterday that ended up killing most of the day for work, I’m back to cursing CodeWarrior for its habit of just locking up periodically.
So today is going to be spent programming, mostly. There’ll also be some shovelling of snow after the sleet has fallen this afternoon (I’m hoping last night’s snow will keep the sleet from sticking to the sidewalk), and general preparations to hunker down through the next few days of pretty darned cold weather. We’re going to be fresh out of fahrenheits all the way through the weekend, it appears. Maybe there’s some beer, but it’ll have to be carefully planned so as to avoid frostbite. Nothing that can’t be dealt with, but I’m pretty sure that forgetting to bring along the hat would be a Bad Thing.
- Here are some tips for How to cope with arctic weather that we’re going to be getting once the snow is done later today. My preferred solution is just to hunker down and stay at home as much as possible, but these are still useful tips. [strib]
- Apple’s New Mac software stings Minneapolis company. Mariner software’s Mariner Write might have problems because of iWork. The story’s interesting to me because somehow I hadn’t heard of Mariner. Apparently I need to pay more attention to the Mac development community here in town.
- Susan has a good post about This week in space - Huygens. Friday morning it’ll touch down on Titan. She’s got all the details. [papascott]
- The iGrill is a lean, mean, fileserving machine, packed into a George Foreman grill. Cool! The site got slashdotted, so be patient if it takes a while to load. Heck, I bet you could fit a Mac mini into that case, and I happen to have a George Forman Grill I got for Christmas. [slashdot]
- Meanwhile, Evan’s doing a happy little End-Zone Dance over what he sees as the most significant bit of news about the MacMini. [101-280]
- And speaking of toys, Griffin Technology has the radioSHARK. It’s TiVo for radio. Damn. Now there’s finally a way to capture Cosmic Slop even when I’m not around, and it’s not around either anymore. Dangit. [lileks]
