Woot-Off

By popular request, ZOMG THERE’S A WOOT-OFF GOING ON!

My favorite woot tracker, bagsofcrap.com was down this morning, so just head on over to woot.com for the latest item.

Stoplight Controller

Today, I built a stoplight controller. Why? Because it was my homework.

Damn right.

Quick Update

I have now activated PingPressFM, which is a nifty plugin that will update all of my sites. I hope that it works properly.

And, being productive, I’m using this opportunity to test it out.

IMPORTANT! You should read this…

The city of Fargo will be putting into effect a travel ban soon (midnight CDT 3-27) and will cut off volunteers from going to the Dome and Sandbag Central. It is IMPERATIVE that any NDSU student able bodied goes to the Fargodome to make sandbags. The river is coming up so fast that we need help.

From the beach…

I’m currently on the beach. Sitting typing away on my laptop. I got a wifi signal from an unprotected linksys AP, probably from the many residences and hotels around this area. I’ll post more later, pictures included. Though the WIFI here is much better than the stuff in the hotel.

Official Blizzard March 2009 Post

OK, since I’ve had requests for pictures and video, this will be the post that I will update. If  you have any video/links/pictures of your own, email me at andrew@andrewrlynch.com.

So here’s the first video. I took it while I was coming back from breakfast. The snow on my face felt like needles. It’s very cold and sharp.

UPDATE 9:21a: And, for those of you who are wondering: “All is well, at the Roger Maris Museum”.

UPDATE 9:26a: MAT Bus has decided to stop service at 11:15am. ALL F/M bus service will stop.

UPDATE 11:58a: I added another video. This was facing north between Sevrinson Hall and the West Dining Center. Very very snowy.

UPDATE 1:10p: I’ve added pictures now, and will be adding more to the slideshow as the day goes on.

UPDATE 4:12p: This video was shot just outside the east door of Sevrinson Hall. The door swung open while I was shooting it, hence the sudden angle change. Very cold and very windy.

UPDATE 5:11p: NDSU has updated their Weather Information page. It now states that “Status of campus opening on Wednesday yet undetermined.” A decision is going to be made tonight or early tomorrow morning on whether or not classes will be held. My bet? I say that classes are canceled before 12p. Campus will re-open at 12p and classes after that will be held. Anyone else have any ideas?

Winter Blizzard coming…

So if you live in the upper-Midwest, we’re in for a Blizzard. Being that I was bored this evening, I created a Cass County weather landing page. Announcements, closing, and NDSU information. Let’s hope for no school on Tuesday.

Header change

So I got bored yesterday, and decided to change the header on ARL.com. I basically took the default template’s banner, overlaid a picture of the sky I took, and uploaded it back to the site. Let me know what you think in the comments.
