#uksnow W8 1/10 - wondering if the journey home will be a lot worse than the journey to work.
Woke up, looked outside and saw our street is covered in a layer of frozen slush, went back to bed. Contractors can’t afford broken bones.

The entire door opens outwards, so really all you can do with it is open the bottom half or the whole door. It is completely the wrong way round and totally useless. So maybe that’s...

Physicists Prove That Vampires Could Not Exist →
awesometag:
Two physicists have published an academic paper where they demonstrate, by virtue of geometric progression, that vampires could not exist, since they would almost immediately deplete their entire food supply (a.k.a, all of us).

Patric the Proud: okies
Patric the Proud: cool coding
Marcia: that's not cool. that's astonishing and awesome
Patric the Proud: Why?
Patric the Proud: You realise the most likely way he did it, right?
Marcia: hypnosis?
Patric the Proud: transparency in layers.
Marcia: no, really?
Patric the Proud: Not fully sure, but that's the simplest way I can think of to achieve the effect.
Marcia: gee, if only i'd been working with css and transparency as a web developer in the past, i would have spotted that.
Patric the Proud: Heh.
Marcia:
Patric the Proud: Okay. You done being narky now?
Marcia: no
Marcia: you're spoiling the magic.
Patric the Proud: Ok, it's wonderful, amazing and pretty cool. I have no idea how he did it, it was most likely with fairy dust and trained attack otters in perfect sync.

Chaos rules, mmkay?
Chaos is sexy.
Lately, everybody has been crazy about ‘lifehacks’, life balance and Getting Things Done. I tried to understand it, I really did. But all these systems for getting organised seem to have one fundamental flaw: what if one doesn’t want to make time to get organised? That’s my problem right there.
