Brrrrrrrr I attended the Java User Group meeting tonight and managed to document a good portion of it. I hope to post it in the morning when I wake up. After the meeting, a number of us headed to the local brewery and enjoyed some brewskis together. We left around 11:20 and I made it home (riding my bike) at midnight. While it was 19°F when I rode to work this morning, the 26°F on the way home seemed a lot colder. Maybe it was the beer. Anyway, it's good to be home. Let's hope it warms up before I ride back in in 5 hours. Posted in General at Feb 10 2005, 12:14:04 AM MST 5 Comments

When I headed to work this morning, it was -17 C. And it is for last 7 days. It is Belgrade, Serbia. How much in SI units is 19 F?

Yeah, that's a bit colder than Denver. Google has a nice calculator - looks like 19°F is -7°C.

Yes, the Google calculater is great. You can also type in "19F to C" or "71km to mi", "14gal to l", etc. and it can usually understand what you mean if you know the proper abbreviation for the units in which you are looking. You can even use it to solve the math questions necessary for posting to this blog.

Matt,

I love to hear you're riding to work. I used to ride to work. I ride before work now because I can't really ride to work (I take mass transit to get to my new office in San Francisco). But I'm a competitive cyclist, so I have to get my fix in the morning. I get up at 0'Dark Thirty in the cold, fog, and sometimes wet and am often alone. I've only seen it get down to about 24F here in the Bay Area - not quite as cold as Denver, but plenty cold enough for me! I often wonder why the hell I do it. There's something about enduring it and treating myself to a nice warm cup of good coffee when I'm done. Anyway, it's good to hear others enduring the same sorts of things. Just over 1 month until Spring (pun intended!), right?

I think you might be reading the wrong blog if you need the Google Calc to answer the math question :)
