Two days ago I was doing laundry downstairs and one of the machines was broken, so I went back up to get more powder and quarters. Going back down in the lift, by way of explanation for just having a scoop of powder, I said to the woman who entered one of the machines was broken. Paraphrasing her, "I hate when that happens. Last week one of the dryers was broken. People should put up a notice when the machine is broken." I show her my note saying "Broken", all ready to post. "Did you?", I ask. Eyes drop, voice changes, a sheepish "no" emerges.

Stereotypical, unfortunately.

gonna hit 36 today

In this heat, I really notice my MBP warming up. I decided to check the Energy Saver panel to see which GPU it was using - dynamic switching, apparently, and I could force it to be in high performance (= hot) mode, or let it switch between the two, but not choose the integrated, cooler chip. Boo to that.

So I went here for help: http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus

Incidentally, under dynamic switching, opening Firefox it switches straight away to discrete/hot, while Safari on the same page stays with the integrated chip. Weird.

Went to meet someone in Purchase this evening, surprised to see there was an orienteering event on... according to the sign at the entrance... oops.

Getting darker and windier outside...

fairly wrecked again today, rhr isn't high though, not after an extra couple of hours in bed this afternoon anyhow, first time checking in a while.

/10.5 [8.50-7.20]
Probably still need more.

Went back to bed for half an hour, then made the mistake of going to the bed-free office. Oops.

But there is a lawn outside. 45 minutes there helped a little.

Just realised I missed a conference in Stony Brook last week and at the Clay Institute three weeks ago. Wouldn't have been in a fit state to attend much of either, but still a bit stupid. I knew about the SB one and had heard rumours of the other.

Plus 2.5 hrs in bed after lunch. Back to the good ol' days.

In one dream last night, a two-headed moose was on the rampage at Oringen, leading to several mashed competitors. I blame Jordan's dog.

Went to bed at 8, got up at 5... played a bit with sprint base maps today.

Listening to This American Life about a doctor and some nurses in Winkler Memorial Hospital, TX. Incredible story. Poor country.
