Dec. 20th, 2006 06:56 pmIt's cold. Cold by Tucson standards, anyway, with freezing nights and highs maybe in the 50s, but the skies have cleared. Last night's local news was urging people to wrap up well if they drove up the mountains to play in the snow.
The cable people were busy outside this morning, digging a trench and exhuming the fat cable that failed a few weeks ago. I didn't inspect it when I got home tonight, so I'm not sure if I'm still running on the temporary one, or not. The signal and signal/noise levels on the modem don't seem to have changed much, anyway.
Our office floor is being cleaned tonight -- an annual event that we opted out of last year. We shut down our workstations and put them up on the desks -- they're big noisy boxes, not really ideal for office use, and not livable-with unless they're sitting on the floor while running. It was uncannily quiet in the office with them off; the faint rumble of the heating is barely audible.
