My niece is in Killeen, I guess that's the Central zone. I was worried about her and her family, after seeing the news about that military vehicle getting flipped and swept away from Ft. Hood, which is in or adjacent to Killeen. Seems she's OK, though.

Was it pushed in all that time?
I didn't want a lighter...don't smoke and won't allow anyone in my car to smoke in the car. I got an electrical outlet only. Nice for charging the cell phone.

...I have to do a clean install as it will be from an OEM. To perform a "proper" upgrade using the ASnytime key would cost almost 250$ compared to the price of the OEM which can be found for as little as 79$. .
..well the first day of the heat wave has come and gone. As usual the airport wimped out compared to the rest of us in the city (unless you are a coyote, Boeing 737, or Airbus 320) with an "official" recorded high of 97°. Meanwhile in the in city temps were all above 100. In my neighbourhood it topped out at 104° while in one of the near northeast neighbourhoods it reached 108°. They need to take "official" city conditions in the city proper where people live, work, and play, not the airport where there usually is nothing but warehouses at best and which can even be in a different climate microzone (like ours is).
....got an AC and have it going but cannot run the workstation at the same time without tripping a breaker. At least I will be able to sleep but no 3D work until Wednesday when it drops back into the 70s.
...good to know you're OK. Heard about the declered emergency.
...or bitter beer face.
I too like the warm fuzzy feeling of having done a virgin installation. But there was at one time the ability to upgrade from Win7-Home to Win7-Pro for $79 from Microsoft. It was a download from Microsoft and simply added, replaced, and enabled the OS stuff that turned your system into a Win7-Pro Doesn't muck with applications or user accounts. That's what I did for my one and only "Pro" system and has worked fine since day one. But I understand if it's not desirable.
I myself would prefer a full non-OEM copy of the Win7-Home and Win7-Pro installation disks because of their portability to future systems but good luck finding one anymore even if price wasn't the problem. However, now that I'm no longer in the full time business of fixing other people's computers I don't care so much anymore. For my few remaining old-time customers I fix what I can. And if I can't I suggest that it's time to bury the beast and move into the 21st century.
A/C, that marvelous invention that on hot days billions of people move the hot air from inside to outside and add some more heat to the total in the process.
This area doesn't usually get very hot for very long but the humdity gets bad. About three years ago I broke down and bought an A/C and put it into the only window that was of sufficient size and in a workable place, my bedroom. So on these muggy 80 & 90 degree days I sleep well at night. During the day it cools the bedroom and I let the cool air drift down the stairway into my office in the living room. I makes the living room livable. I sympathize with the electrical limitations. I do have one one window down in the living room that could accept an A/C but I'd have to do a major furniture re-arrangement to unblock the window and am afraid that the downstairs power circuit wouldn't handle the load of both the A/C and my TV, DVR, lights and computers. The good news is that with a fan to blow the coolish air from upstairs around, the living room is tolerable. But even with that 8000 BTU A/C trying to cool the entire apartment it doesn't run all the time. I set it at 68F upstairs and it only runs about 60% of the time so I don't feel too guilty achieving a moderate 76F downstairs.
When I lived in Florida I got used to the humidity and multiple showers per day but A/C was a godsend. And in Florida the smart people give up their prudishness and fashion faux-pas, and run around half naked all the time.

For me, when I click on Quote, it does not scroll down. It shifts a little down, then a little up. I have to scroll down with the mouse to get to the comment box.

what goes down, must come up
gravity is broken
Ah, "American Pie". 1971-72 Deeply ingrained memories in that song. I was in my "between" period. I'd made it through 3 years of my Florida college then had no idea where I wanted to do or be. Dropped out. Hippified myself. Ran out of money. Slunk home to the north hitchhiking in the fall. Parents forced me to get some sort of job. Then it was soon winter and my job was pumping gasoline at night at a micro-gas station that didn't sell anything but gas and oil. Sitting alone all night during blizzards, listening to this song. Developing my philosophy. Ah yes, "American Pie" many memories.
PS: The winter was so miserable I quit the gas job and hiked back to Florida determined to make a go of it there. It took several years and many crap jobs but my resume eventually landed me a job at the Kennedy Space Center where I worked and finished my BSEE degree and rejoined the civilized world. Nothing like crap jobs to motivate and develop wisdom.
I cannot seem to be able to install flash due to the fact that IE refuses to run on my computer. I want to watch a vudu movie but unable to do so on my computer.
...trouble with that arrangement is the box (which is what also needs the cooling) is not right under the desk due to the sparse availability of outlets in the room so it would cool the box, but not me.Were I to move the desk I'd have to contend with glare from the window and the displays would block airflow from the air conditioner.
..same here, and when I click "quote" it sometimes doesn't take me to the comment window.
...hotz again today. Going to head out soon and find some place to sip a tall cool drink. Forumz slow (this was the only reminder bot I received all day) and can't do any CG work/rendering without turning the AC off. My room has both southern and western exposure so in the afternoon it gets the brunt of sunlight for most of the day. Air conditioner is set to the mid 60s, room temp is already in the upper 70s.
More seasonable temps returning by the middle of next week.
I took a walk outside today but got so hot that I lost the motivation to do anything productive today. Ugghhh I hate it when I feel so drained
Morning. Sky the colour of cold steel pulling the shutters on sunrise and leaving more than a little of damp and freezing night on the ground :)
roof not leaking?
