Nothing too interesting about Wednesday. Got poking with SSL on IIS again. They seriously make it harder than it needs to be. Tonight was Green Mill with the lab decorating crew. That combined with Subway for lunch and chips and salsa at the standup meeting today means my stomach is rather upset with me right now. Oh well. After that grabbed my stuff from my office and headed down to Ross' place. While sitting there in the car I decided to test Verizon's data network, and booted up the laptop and started chatting on IM. One person got a little concerned about me chatting on IM while going 65 down the freeway, concerned I may have been driving. No, I'm definitely not that crazy... It was sad I was getting lower latency than he does at home though. :( BTW, didn't have any problems. Rock solid connection, if slow modem speed (but that's normal). Hung out at Ross' basically doing nothing. On the way home it was interesting. It was all nice and clear weather, and then it sorta started snowing. A little gusty, but nothing bad. Then it got thicker. And thicker. Pretty soon we could barely see a car 40ft in front of us, and maybe 2-3 streetlights ahead and that's it. Plus it was windy and big vehicles getting pushed around on the road a bit... By the time we got back to Bethel it was basically done, but the roads were coated with a nice slick coating. Slid around on the way home, but nothing too dangerous. I sorta like driving in snow, it'd be nicer if I wasn't so tired and just wanting to get home and to bed.
I really like driving in winter on calm roads. The drive from school to Fountain is pretty fun to do with a little less traction.
