Black Ice!Category: buffalo
I counted 13 multi-car accidents on the way to work, including 4 accidents just at the on-ramps to the 198 at Elmwood (one at each on-ramp!). Plus a few spin-outs. It usually takes me 15 or 20 minutes to get to work via the 198, 190 and 290 but it took more than an hour.
Black ice, freezing rain, it's a giant mess. I hear the skyway is closed, too.
I was tempted to take pictures but that's stupid while driving :)

I think the freezing rain was West and North of the city. 290 got much better the further East I went.

I gotta admit, I'm still kinda spooked. I take the 198W to 190N route usually and it was a car graveyard. I really hope that is made more safe by 5PM. I was going 30 on the 190N just past the split.

Cold Day In HellStill sick as a dog, but... enjoying exploring a new programming language. XML literals, unrestricted operator and syntax overloading, optional explicit immutability and finally a non-verbose type system.
Scala:
I think maybe I've found my post-Ruby future (not any time soon, though).

Still use it, but it's not a good general purpose language & is quite hideous to behold with it's four different line terminators and lack of any mutability. Erlang is awesome for comet and message queues but not a happy place to be every day.

I, too, thought it worked on my machine. Until one day I read the "Six Stages of Debugging"
1. That can't happen.
2. That doesn't happen on my machine.
3. That shouldn't happen.
4. Why does that happen?
5. Oh, I see.
6. How did that ever work?
make one for (e:paul) that says "it works on my iphone!" :-)
Just a general troubleshooting start point...
Is that a Mac gloat? ;-)
