You know how I was saying it was going to be hot?

They have revised the forecasts….to be hotter. It’s supposed to be 44 on Friday (111F). Some places in NSW reached 47 today. crazy

Disaster!!!!

I woke up this morning and my laptop was dead. Wouldn’t even POST. It’s only 1.5 years old I removed the hard drive and it’s still OK, thank goodness, because I just spent several days programming and hadn’t backed it up yet.

Thank goodness I bought a little netbook, so I have something to use until I get a new system.

It rained mud

We had our first rain of the month last week, but because it was so dry and windy beforehand, the rain drops were full of red dust. Everything was covered with in red dirt.

More weather stuff:
The forecast for this week is 38C,39C,40C,41C,41C,42C, and then cooling off to a nice 36C. For the Americans, those temperatures range between 97F and 108F. I’m glad I live alone so I can sit in my underwear in front of the fan!

gasp

OMG It’s 42 frickin degrees outside. I just came from a few days up above the tree line in the alps where it was in the low 20’s, only to be dropped in an oven. Blech

I want one!

Asus, who invented the netbook, has listened to users and is going to produce a tablet netbook!

I wasn’t really impressed with Asus’s EeePc because of it’s dinky keyboard, so I ended up buying an Acer Aspire One.  I love my AAO, but having a tablet would be the cat’s ass.
