After suffering three very recent losses (all within April), the lyrics to this song hit home big time. Thanks for posting the video.

Eels - Last Stop: This Town

You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?

Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright

Get down

Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
Whatchya talkin' bout?
'cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And i can't let you out

What if i was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way

Get down

Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away

Get down

The fan is only about a year old, on "low", it is nearly silent and it blows just enough for me to not get all hot-and-bothered as I deal with stuff.

Had another passing yesterday, an uncle whose mind slipped away years before his body finally gave out. In a way he was dead, and the world kept spinning...
-----

The song is kinda sad, because it's written about his sister, who committed suicide. But I always liked the it , minus the few sorta "harsh" parts. The video is just kinda odd.

I will be very happy once I am done dealing with those phones. They really are nice in the hand, so thin and smooth, and the screen sure is pretty but I still prefer the blackberry or android because you can so easily transfer data to and from the device.

Time, and life, march on. We can never go back to where we were. Only forward. If I take you along, we are never coming back.

I really enjoy Scottish singer/songwriter Amy Macdonald. Here's a song she wrote in memory of her grandma, who may've been suffering from the same condition(s) as TDA's uncle.



Now I'm free
I'm as happy as can be
I just wanted you to know
That I left that body long ago
So long ago...

Thanks, I take it out of that nook when I need to use it.

I'm neurotic about heat and proper-spacing and about a dozen other things (that I'm aware of) Power Supplies, enclosures,
Fans, heat sinks, vents, sun, water, all sorts of things related to heat, and dissipation ,and whatnot...Seeing a PC running inside of a seal box makes me itchy.

I keep trying to explain to a couple of older secretaries at work that the space heater under their desk (right next to their tower) is a bad idea and they just don't seem to get it.

Those space heaters are SO against the rules ... I remember years ago, I found a hidden one at work because I could smell the cardboard box that it was hiding under was starting to smolder...

I'll bet some of them are plugged into the UPS, too!

Back in the early '80s my company installed computer systems in TV newsrooms. Despite cautions to the contrary, we frequently had problems with self-absorbed TV "personalities" plugging their blow dryers into the UPS outlets; this usually happened only once per person, though.

I do have sympathy for people freezng at work. Companies cant seem to realize that if you have a sit down job you are cooler than someone unloading a truck all day. Even myself I have a jacket I put on while at work, even when its 95F outside. Theres a polar vortex from the ducts above my desk too. People who are 350 pounds can bring a fan.

*was that a rant* ?

There's a well known thing which every AC/Maintenance worker knows and its that men and women have different interpretations of what "room temperature" should be.
Men are hot, women, cold.
Man use fans, women, space heaters, sweaters, scarves, etc.
Many businesses have adjustable vents above their worker bees, they open them for the men, close them for the women.

also, there is a shift which happens due to the sun + due to the building turning off the AC other than 9-5 Mon- Friday. Some buildings have hot and cold sides, "hot or cold" pockets, and other such feuds which occur in nonfluid thermoclines...
I wear a short sleeved shirt almost every day, even in winter, because it's too dang hot. except when I'm in the server room for long periods, then it's too dang cold.

Here its mainly the over weight who are warm or hot, alot fo them happen to be female it seems. I often wonder when they exclaim how warm they are if they realize what they are actually exclaiming.
