Boy is it hot down here in Melbourne. 43.2 Degrees and another 2 days of 40 Degree heat.
Even playing a game on the Medusa breaks out a sweat. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to take a cold shower after playing a pin :D

Yeh - you guys got it stinking down there. Its been bloody humid here in Brissy of late ( today was OK though)
working away downstairs the other night - my enamels were drying up on me as i painted and im dripping sweat on my work.
Keep in mind though - that whatever you guys get down south, we tend to get approx 3 days later and you can bet your arse that it will piss down the day before it hits - im a glassblower too - no aircon, just a fan that i can only run on low cos it disturbs the flame.
I am of course preparing to die...

45.7 in Adelaide today. Missed the all time mark by 0.4 degrees. Tomorrow - 44 degrees. Beautiful!
-
yeah, nice timing for us - we shift house on Friday, both the little girls and Mrs Pinnies4me have gasto (try running a temperature in this weather), and I seem to have been the hold out to the bug - yeah right, sure to come down with it Friday morning!
I hang out for this sort of beach weather and I can't even take the girls out of the house!

I ventured into the garage and found a ramp I glued last night with 2 part epoxy - it's "separated".
Novus is like water
Nifti is warm, as if it was a baby's bottle
Madness !

While I was travelling to the new house (got the keys a day early) this morning and the temp said 46 Idecided it must be wrong - rthat radio said 43. Turns out Geelong was hooter than Melbourne, officially 45.3 and the hottest day on record.
Might be something in that global warming BS after all.
-
Well the all time record in Adelaide was 46.1. That was 70 years ago so I guess we must have had global warming back then also. And this bloody day light savings just fades my curtains. %$%

About 10 years ago I went on a company sponsored reward event for good employees. I was a manager and I took a few of my employees along. It was in Chicago and we decided we wanted to go to an amusement park. It was 46c and not one hint of a breeze. We were outside for 4 hours. I almost passed out. One of my employees did for a second on a coaster. I was pouring $4 bottles of water on my head :P We drove back to the hotel and the power water was out. Something about generators overloading due to a huge spike in power demand. So I couldn't shower. Now, I'm a guy who does sweat and in 46c i sweated like a horse outside of a glue factory. We had a dinner to go to and there was no way I was going in my current condition. The owner called me and told me I had to go right away (I think I got some award or trinket that collected dust on my desk.) So I took bottled water and washed the stinkiest bits and went.
Horrible...

If today reaches 43 degrees - then it will break a long standing record of two consecutive days over 43 degrees. That is THREE DAYS..
There was no "Global Warming" in 1908 - It is just a 100 year cycle
:D

Yep, I agree totally with that Nino... Hence why I'm staying in the A/C'd office and on AP all day...

Its days like this for I.T guys where you need to stay in the server rooms and re-colour code your patch leads, or just monitor the ground for any dropped packets ! (to tell those non-I.T)!

There was some "unplanned" outages today that required prolonged periods in the sever room where it was a cool steady 21 degrees.
The room was full of dropped packets #*#

Dropped packets :lol I think I can see some coming out of my computer today...
Apparently it got to 44.9c in Melbourne today... and so much for my plan of staying in A/C'd comfort... the A/C compressor failed a couple of hours ago! DAMN! !*!
