imroy's Journal: Yes, Saturday was hot

I just made a little post on the Mt. Stromlo fire story and I thought I'd post the link here too. You see I have a digital temperature sensor in the garden outside the house as well as two inside. On Saturday it hit 42 degrees (107-108 farenheit) outside. It was incredibly hot. And I have the graph to show it. That huge peak is Saturday, with Sunday after it on the right. I'm glad it was a one-off.

The house is thankfully double-brick which kept it merely warm (31C/88F) inside. But the lounge room out the back is an obvious add-on, with thin walls and a simple tin roof. It was like an oven out there. And where did my housemate and her visiting parents spend most of the day? uh huh, in the lounge room. By the way, this is in Roseville, in the northern suburbs of Sydney. The Sydney CBD (just south of the harbour) is a half-hour train ride away. Several posters said that Paramatta (out west) got up to 45C (113F). I'll have to ask my brother and his wife what it was like out that way :)

just a question

Why am I on your Freaks list? I found it amusing :) to find I have several people add me as friend and some as foes...

I'm not sure, I can't remember when I added you. Odds are, you made a comment in a Microsoft/Linux story that I didn't like. I did that a lot when I first discovered the friends/foe system since I don't get moderator points very often. But I hit the limit of 200 friends+foes recently. Looking through your recent comments I can't see anything I disagree with strongly. If I see someone else that I want to add to my friends or foes list, you'll be first one I remove :)

Kind of funny :) I tend to read more messages I don't like than the ones I do like. The ones I'd "foe" wuld be agressive personal attacks, but moderators hopefully take care of that :)

Thanks for the replay! See you!
