So after driving almost 900 miles in 12 hours I come home to find that I am without power.  We got nailed by a storm yesterday and it seems it knocked out power to a lot of homes.  Fortuantly I have my laptop and I upgraded by cell phone to have unlimited data so I am using my phone to connect my laptop to the internet.  I've only got 50 more minutes of battery but fortunatly I still have my backup battery, though it is only a 6 cell instead of an 8 cell.

But see, this shows how much I like you guys >:D

Right after I got home I called the cell company and upgraded the phone and made sure it was active :)

I think I'll just go to bed.  Don't feel like waiting for the power to come back.

Edit:  I hear them working outside so I guess I'll wait a little longer.  Though I'm already tired from the drive.

* SleePy would comment why thantos battery didn't last long but it isn't appropriate for public viewing  :o

Did you at least write down on paper the coding ideas you had :P

I hate when the power goes out. Once I wrote down a few ideas I had that came to me because I had nothing else to do besides think.
