OK that's enough, the boss is looking at me funny.

it was -10 degrees C here this morning and I am a LOT further south than HiTemp.

Weather is shaping up nicely for the Rally of the Tall Pines!

Holy berkeley. Who knew computers could do E36 M3 like that?

Followup: I will have forgotten this within 15 minutes.

I printed Curmudgeon's list out so I won't forget. But I will probably lose the list in a week or so.

75° Worked for me, though it was closer to 40° this afternoon here. As long as so goes ahead and berkeleys off. i'm fine with cold.

There's a LIST?

It was 22°F here and I went running anyway.

Compression undies for the win.

Which is a week later this year. I think last years was the coldest one I've ever attended.

We had frost last night, but it's supposed to be 11 on Friday, so I may go riding.

In linux, you open the keyboard layouts, composite keys, and select which ever key you want... right win key is a good one. Full list of composite keystrokes is in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose for most of us.

doesn't work on a Mac … but then we have special characters under the Edit drop down menu°

So how do you get the 'cent' sign?

Type cent sign into browser.. Then copy and paste.

If work allows me to, I will be at Tall Pines... Lousy Work.. Always, wanting me to be there..

If I lived in a place where negative (non metric, that's cheating) temps were a thing...
I'd move.
Nope nope.

Same goes for any place with triple digit temps, count me out.

Best part: I refuse to wear pants to work, shorts year round, even if I'm working the freezer, in the winter.

I wore shorts year round until I started working here. Stupid uniforms.

I love Florida

Well, I'll be dipped. I learned something today. That'll do me for a month or two. I don't wanna get TOO smart.

And thanks to GPS, who apparently is adept at more than just whacking his snorkle.

What? This? ᶜ

No! This! 49¢

Linux compose key codes here for those running a real OS, which I suppose is most of you.

http://www.hermit.org/Linux/ComposeKeys.html

on a Mac it's option shift 4 ($) = ¢

For the Cent symbol: ¢

Alt+0162

Open the character map program, use time new roman and the DOS: United States character set. Find the character you're looking for and click on it.* Then in the bottom of the window, it will say something like : U+00A2

If this wasn't nerdy enough, open up the calculator and turn it to the programmer view, and click on the HEX radial button. Now type the number/letter combo that is after the 'U+', in this case it shows up as 'A2'. Click on the DEC radial button to translate from Hexadecimal to Decimal.

Use this number with the ALT button to get that funky character you've been looking for! If it doesn't work, put (a) zero(s) in front of it to make a four digit number.

*Note: at this point you could just use the copy function built into the program and paste it into word/....

I'm not sure why the 'DOS: United States' part but that's how I figured out the cent symbol. I don't really understand, I learned this from an electrical engineer in college. I have to figure it out every time.

¢ Yep, there it is. Cool.

17 F this morning. It was hard to start the car, glad I wasn't planning to drive the Diesel!

84°F (29°C) today. I guess I take the high score?

So what the hell is this thing? > щ
