Let it snow let it snow, er wait

snow! 6 – 11 inches of snow is forecast for New York City in the next three days. I can see snow already falling outside my window here at work, and this is what's predicted for tomorrow:

Snow along with gusty winds at times. Cold. Temps nearly steady in the low 30s. Winds NNE at 20 to 30 mph. Snow accumulating 4 to 7 inches.

Yikes! Tomorrow morning is my NYRR Hot Chocolate 15K, which I'm really looking forward to. Hopefully it won't be too snowy to run, and then after it's over, I can come home and get in my cozy bed and read all afternoon as it snows heavily outside.

Update: totally weird. Exactly a year ago it was snowing as well, and I was excited and posting about it. And a year ago, Gina posted a picture of snow outside her window at work. It's starting to look like that outside our window here at work, a year later. Does this simultaneous anniversary snowstorm mean that we'll have another snowy winter? Or are we experiencing some strange Groundhog Day (the movie, not the Day) experience?

Weblogs are ruining Google

Doing some stuff in Eclipse this afternoon I thought, "I'd really like a text wrap plugin for Eclipse" so I go to Google and type in "Eclipse plugin text wrap" and this megnut post — of me wishing for a text wrap plugin — is the first result. Doh!

Sendmail for Dummies

I just installed this neato Sendmail Enabler for OS X (but not Panther, for Panther you need Postfix Enabler) to fix some mail problems I was having. This enabler is a one-click app to launch and configure sendmail. So far, it's great and easy.

It’s flu time

With the temperature suddenly 21° (with a 9° wind chill) in New York City, those who haven't succumbed yet to the flu could well be on the verge, including me. Here's some good information from the CDC, Influenza: The Disease. Of course, the most troubling bit was this, "A person can spread the flu starting one day before he or she feels sick." It might be too late for us all!

Happy December 1st

I had a nice Thanksgiving message written and then my browser crashed right before I had to head off for my vacation. So hopefully Thanksgiving went well for you and yours, and now Happy December 1st! That exclamation point is rather forced, I'm afraid to admit. Where has the year gone? And how is it winter all of the sudden and time for Christmas? Oy. That's really about all I've got to say. Oy.
