Mon Jan 29 09:33:55 EST 2018 Slept from eleven-thirty, through my alarm, to eight-thirty. High of twenty-nine today. Three to ten inches of snow. Guess I should have worn my boot in addition to my new parka. Work: - Work on MECS Done. - Order new computer for Tamara Done. - Build new computer for Greg Done. Twenty-five minute walk at lunch. Snowy. The new parka kept me comfortably warm. Hmph. Something of a mea culpa from the pfSense guy. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/7t76sy/setting_the_record_straight/ Worked until almost seven. Home: - ? Wonder if the fur on parka hoods id purely decorative or somewhat functional. I could imagine it disrupting the wind somewhat. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-reason-for-fur-on-hood-jackets > ...the bow wave effect is proportional to the area of the leading edge of the object that the flow is around. Or, to put this another way, the fur trim on a parka increases the effective area of the leading edge, leading to a larger bow wave effect and hence the creation of a zone of calm area right in front of your exposed face. Nice. http://www.int-res.com/articles/cr2004/26/c026p077.pdf > Fur ruff designs, such as the sunburst geometry, that combine a large diameter and the presence of broad-spectrum fur increase the boundary layer thickness, therefore favorably reducing the heat transfer across the boundary layer. https://flixable.com/ https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lost-mystery-manuscript-australia-secondhand-bookshop-alice-wonderland > The zig-zag top indicates that this was a legal document. In 16th-century Britain, a contract would have been drafted twice on the same piece of parchment and cut into a zig-zag; in the future, each party could authenticate the other’s copy by matching up the unique cut pattern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indenture It was three parts, separated by two unique zig-zag cuts. All three parts held identical copies of the contract. Each party to the contract kept an endpiece, and the court kept the middle. https://blog.golang.org/gobs-of-data Lunch: coffee, gyro bowl Dinner: popcorn
