Rain

It rained almost continuously Sunday and Monday, and has started again just now. (This isn't just me showing off to my Phoenix friends; I'm really digging the rain.)

There's a creek out back of my apartment that floods during the rain, and I can hear the water rushing by from my bedroom.

The rain was actually kind of bad this weekend, because with rain comes cold. In this case, lots of cold, because my heater quit working. I didn't actually notice for the first couple days, while it was still warmer inside my apartment than out — but by yesterday I started wondering why it was so damn cold.

And then I realized I hadn't heard the heater turn on in three days.

Pilot light: check. Wiring: check. Thermostat: iffy. One call to maintenance later, and I have a heater.

So, I spent some of tonight basking in front of it. I'm such a desert boy. I hadn't ever spent three days at 50-60 degrees before; it makes me creaky and sleepy.


Ran into an amusing problem at work. One of my programs was running out of memory and crashing, so we hooked it up to an analysis tool to see what was going on. What did the analysis tool do?

It ran out of memory. And crashed. Hooray for irony.


I'll be at Urban on Friday, in case anyone hasn't heard.

But now, I must watch an ex-leak in my roof, to ensure it does not become an ex-ex-leak — and then go to bed.
