A water main break at work flooded the lawn, and also, no bathrooms. They're working on it now right outside my window.
--- edit to add video ---
Testing mobile video posting -- no .mov. So this is manually uploaded.
The quality isn't too bad - it's additionally compressed by the phone before emailing it, and the video was taken through a window with reflections, and then I had to convert it on the desktop from .mov to .flv, and then I think (e:strip) compresses it further. But it's pretty clear anyways. The original file is much better.

P.S. I need to change my script to deal with the multi pic sending. Its weird - it works when i copy and paste them but not when I multiselect. Its so freakin weird that don't have one standard way of handling it. Its almost like each way was written by a different developer.

I am so jealous. Hey by the way I discovered if you click the little icon in your photo gallery at the bottom left, you can then select multiple pictures and then select share/email to mail them all at once. Much better than before.

That ridding backwards thing you can't do on a lot of bikes since peddling backwards is the brake. I can't remember what it is called but there is a movement of tricks just like this where everything is on the ground and there aren't any jumps but I can't remember what it is called.

BUffalo State had that happen this week too. Must be that time of the year?
Yeah, basically... I might have to leave early today to take car of business ;)
What's goin on with these water mains?
A water main broke near my work as well. I got to leave 2 hrs early while they fixed it. Are they making you stay with no toilets?!?
Here's a link to the original file for comparison: :::link::: (11mb .mov file)
And ... no .mov posting via email. Oh well :) Tried to upload a video of the backhoe digging up the water main.
