Seems like we live in Alaska, this weather sucks. A high of 20 today and a low of 10 or less, with wind chills in the zero range (-17 C). I could feel the cold going through my pants, socks and shoes as soon as I set foot on the street this morning. I think it is supposed to rain and get better towards the weekend, but right now it bites. Just got home a few moments ago. I can't seem to shake this cold.

Nicole has prepared yummy pasta and potato wheels for dinner.

Big Time Warner outage over the weekend, all services were down. I detected it for the first time Saturday around noon. I called in and they told me their engineers were already working on it. It took more than 24 hours to solve it, must have been a big problem.

Didn't get a chance to talk to Bill, he went to Fostoria I think. Talked to my parents a while ago, all good, starting to put things in motion for September

Nicole cooked a delish quiche this weekend, as well as lentil soup, yummy. Several Fresh Direct deliveries! The kitchen is almost fully functional now.

Microsoft is reportedly working on Gazelle, a replacement for Internet Explorer focused on security. It will be a welcome change, let's see. Early stages of development, will be a while before we see anything I imagine.
