Though if you'd made it an option, we'd probably just shoot our eye out with it.

We can't forget it by ayrlander (2.00 / 0) #7 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 07:36:51 AM EST

My father tunes the TV to TBS and it's playing at their place for most of the 24 hour marathon. He even owns the DVD for the rest of the year. Not that he's obsessed or anything....

Christmas Weather by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #2 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 07:21:19 AM EST

It's t-shirt weather in Phoenixville right now; and it looks like it's going to stay above freezing right through the end of the year.

It's just not right!

Creepy, ain't it?

You wouldn't happen to work for a big blue company, would you?

Do they still exist? by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #16 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 09:17:52 AM EST

I thought they were eaten by Siemens.

Although, I hear they're still the worst IT employer in the region.

Dev's right by miker2 (2.00 / 0) #21 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 10:43:44 AM EST

They were brought out a while ago. Been here less than a year and I LOVE IT.

IT may suck (I honestly don't know nor care) but being a developer here rocks.

: Well, that's good to know. by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #22 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 11:08:16 AM EST

I have a friend who is an exec there (AFAIK, it's been a few years since we touched base) - but several friends who warned me off from them.
Glad to here you're having a different experience.

: sigh. by dev trash (2.00 / 0) #26 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 04:30:53 PM EST

2000 or 1999. I was a part of a company in a small town that had a GREAT thing going til they partnered up with SMS. I blame SMS though as Siemens had to cut the dying flesh that SMS had left of the small wonderful company. Now I hear that small company is employee owned and no longer a part of Siemens. Sad. So Sad.

QinetiQ? by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #17 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 09:32:14 AM EST

Or a spin off company? I had a short contract at a spin off in Malvern Science Park, but it didn't pan out. Also, it was in the original Malvern: the only town in the UK where a British car company is a major employer.

While I'm on this narcisistic nostalgia trip, I must mention I just this moment saw a TV ad for the main rival of another start up in my job history.

Weather Underground says chance of snow for the weekend. At least that has to be near freezing.

I've seen snow on the hills out here on a few occasions. I don't think they've had any snow at all back home in Minneapolis.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?

Weather by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #12 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 08:09:05 AM EST

I woke up this morning and the field in front of the church across from the cul de sac was white.

Ok...it was just frost and likely vanished by 7:30, but still...

there was still slush on my windshield by R343L (2.00 / 0) #18 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 09:33:33 AM EST

at 10AM when I finally left the house. I was partially avoiding a major traffic jam and also didn't want to leave at 8AM when since the overnight freezing meant there would have been ice on the car and I'd have to sit in the car for 20 minutes to let it warm up.

There was also still frost on our lawn then too, which I found surprising. Clearly not snow, but if we actually were to get some overnight precip and it gets this cold, we will be having snow. And it might stick for like 20 minutes.

missed football games by alprazolam (2.00 / 0) #14 Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 08:21:40 AM EST

just in case you didn't know, you can download most of the games from tenyardtorrents.com (register and log into the forums to see what games are available).

i'm not sure if they're putting the bills games up or not but they generally have most of the games up but tuesday or wednesday or sometimes thursday.

i missed the dallas game saturday night so i downloaded it last night when i got back from austin.

and I don't really have the time, either.

Any idea if they'll do the arena football games too?

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #28 Wed Dec 20, 2006 at 08:34:13 PM EST

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me.
I may sound Double-Dutch
But my delight is such
I feel as if a losing war's been won for me
And if I had a flag I'd hang my flag out
To add a sort of final victory touch
But since I left my flag at home
I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much!

My favorite holiday movie - Scrooge

I've got to get my holiday dose of "Thank You Very Much"

The only people to get even with are those that have helped you.
