Hang Out and Post

Only 36F in NY, huh? You're lucky as a snowball keeping away from a fire that you weren't here two weeks ago. My thermostat read -31C (about -24F). That does NOT account for windchill. I saw the temperature outside, went back inside, and crawled back into bed. It's warmer now. It's only -8c (little less than 18F). But it was too COLD to snow here for a few days. It's a really strange thing to say, but I want those temps back. No matter how cold it was, the sun was shining, and it was dry. Also, no ice. Personal preference there :P

[The Score in Blue]

Wait, wait, are we talking in Celcius, Farennheit, or Kelvin?

Will you all be enjoying a Christmas full of snow?

[antiaircraft]

I presume that most of the members here are referring to the Fahrenheit scale when they simply give a degree value without further designation. :yes:

[Unstream]

I'm guessing it's not Kelvin either. You don't really use that unless working with scientific data :P

 

I was told a simple way to convert from Celcius to Fahrenheit is to multiply by 2 and add 30, and you'll be a bit high. Hope that helps when trying to ready (Note: that formula is a rough estimation. It will not be exact.)

In Neo, I would love a Krawk or Draik MP for Christmas. But that's way too expensive. Which is why any Hissi wearable would do just fine, particularly the Hissi Swordsman Jacket.

 

And snow? :laughingsmiley: If we get half an inch of snow the school board freaks out and cancels school.

 

You're lucky. Bloomberg is one tough son of a, well you know. But he just about never cancels school for snow. Only when it's very deep and very heavy snowfall. Then we get our day off. We were lucky that we had deep snow last year and school was cancelled. Then at 6 AM about 2 weeks later, snow was falling hard, and he cancelled school. A couple of hours later, the snow stopped, and he cancelled school for no reason.

I've never seen actual "snow." just ice.

[Spritzie]

I'm jealous. I miss the snow. I'm from Colorado but recently moved to Cali. No seasons here.

 

I'm in Colorado. Fairly close to Denver. We haven't been getting much snow the last few winters. (Which does not amuse my husband who's from Florida and is dying for some serious blizzards.)

 

Yesterday, we broke the 60s. It was 57 degrees at about 8pm last night. Now today is a ton cooler.

[CAV of Gang Green]

34 degrees tonight.

 

Just got back from FINALLY seeing Deathly Hallows.

 

Oh, and this:

 

This is perfectly acceptable; however, you guys can run it. I've spoken with Anime and she's already run two here on the forums and her head still hurts from previous years.

 

We will allow it, but someone else is running it.

 

If you have any other questions, lemme know.

 

But what does he mean by "someone else is running it"? I was hoping that this means JB is given full ability to run it. I asked him this. Once again waiting his response.

[The Score in Blue]

Yay! Have we decided the rules for the Secret Santa though? Or are we leaving it up to JB?

[CAV of Gang Green]

We'll find out soon enough.

 

But right now I'm very tired.

[antiaircraft]

Basically TJ is saying that you all have free rein to run the event, but you shouldn't expect official staff support when it comes to the organisation. :yes: If even *Anime* got a headache from handling it before, well... Anime is an epic organiser. So be careful. xD

[:)Doc]

Soooo..... does that mean yes or no to the Secret Santa? :P

[antiaircraft]

It's yes, but don't ask the staff to organise for you. :P

[:)Doc]

Ohhh... Well, I suck at organizing so whoever plans it, have fun! :P

[CAV of Gang Green]

We wouldn't ask for the staff to organize it.

 

I believe since it was his idea, JB should organize the event.

[antiaircraft]

All right JB! If it's too much of a pain for you, well, we're all here to back you up. Even us staffers can help as members. :P

[Spritzie]

Good decoding, Theo. Maybe it's just early, but I was confused by reading that.

 

If I can lend a hand, just let me know. I'm more than happy to help out.

[-Ryan]

Were not allowed to get staff members to help...

...

...

Theo will you help in a non staffical way?

[antiaircraft]

Actually, it's more like you can't expect staff members to help you except if they volunteer themselves. :P

[Spritzie]

It appears it's not the staff isn't allowed to help, but that they're not helping officially as staff. And it's not backed by TDN staff. But I'm sure there's at least a few staff members that are willing to help out otherwise.

[antiaircraft]

Indeed. If you need any programming work done, just ask me - after my exams that is.

[-Ryan]

Theo, will you help with any problems we have that for some reason have to do with programming? After your exams, that is.

[antiaircraft]

Sure. :P I'll help out with programming, coding, random grammar checking, etc. as necessary. But not organisation. xD

[Spritzie]

Okay, while I was off-shift, someone removed my usual desk chair, and replaced it with something else. It's nicer, but it creaks when I move. And since I now share my work room with other people, noisy chairs are not good. <_<

[CAV of Gang Green]

Noisy chairs suck...

 

Well the help is great and dandy. But we need JB. Where's that guy when you need him?
