Orange Planet

I’m at home right now. In my room. Downstairs. You know how hot air kinda rises and cold air kinda falls? Well, it’s effin cold down here and those pesky thermodynamics might be part of the problem. Since my sister and I are in college, it’s just my cousin living down here and the heating is pretty much never active.

Really, I meant to blog about bike drifting as my, uh, partner-in-blog suggested, but there’s not much to say anymore now that I’ve stopped. For a couple weeks I was trying this out, but I shredded my old bike tire and shaved like a few millimeters off my new one. The bike tires are pretty cheap. but if you go through like one every few weeks, they start to add.

The space heater is a reference to two desktops, one laptop, two lights, and a monitor outputting about 350 watts of heat. Your standard space heater is probably rated at something like 1000 to 2000 watts, so you can see how 350 isn’t really putting a dent in anything. My main desktop is running at 20C at the moment. That’s like… less than room temperature.

I could actually turn on the central heater, but I think I’m just going to get into bed in a bit, so there probably isn’t much point. It’s also annoying to leave it on overnight, as it blows dust in my nose at night. Furthermore, the temperature control is straight from the seventies and not terribly accurate, usually erring on the hot side and turning the area into a furnace by daybreak.

Yes. I think I’m moving to my bed now. 350 watts just isn’t as good as a blanket and a laptop buring a hole in my lap.
