The Interior Ministry denied that the kidnappers were police — despite the uniforms — and blamed the attack on “terrorists,” Iraqi state television reported.Or wait. Maybe it's the other way around. And anyway, this is all so ten minutes ago, isn't it? I mean, Iraq. Big whoop. We're on to new opportunities now.
Oh, and by the way. Buy batteries. I went over to rent “V for Vendetta” (yo!) this morning and while I was there picked up an el cheapo digital clock at CVS, because it has an el cheapo thermometer in it. It may not be too accurate but it's probably better than my other one, which used to dangle from the zipper of my ski jacket. Better yet, it's bigger. Nothing on the box about needing batteries but I bought some anyway. Good call. It did.
The sun's come out and the temp indoors has risen 6 degrees in the last half hour. So far, though, it's well within the range my equipment can handle. My iMac has five fans and when they start winding up it sounds like a 747. When it gets to about liftoff speed, I'll shut down. The PowerBook runs cooler - merely varnish-scorching - so as long as the network seems safe I'll no doubt still be online.
Today's the day I was dreaming about in February.

google thinks you'll only be 96 today
the max operating temp, per spec, of both machines is 95. and if it gets to 96 outdoors it will be more than 96 in. however, according to my (now dual!) el cheapo thermometers it's still very comfortably on the safe side of that. so, so far so good.
