it has been a bit hot round these parts lately to run the computer in the very hot apartment with any sense of comfort or confidence that the machine would survive.
today there is a bit of a break, not an actual deep, cool and relaxing "trough" so much as a little fluctuation in the heatwave, with the promise of more grueling "peak" to again ensue.
so the computer is awake, and running (with fan and AC), and i'm back to reading pdf'd novels and fiddling around on the Internet. the pdf'd novels aren't in pratchett's discworld series anymore (for now); just now i'm on book three of that fantasy series a much anticipated fifth volume of which was recently published, and an adaptation of the first volume of which has recently aired on the cable television.
i know you, dear reader, are cool, but i hope that you also are in a location where the ambient temperature is comfortable... to me that comfortable ambient temperature is . . . well, cool.*
