in reply to Number of beverage containers currently on my desk

This summer seems to be extremely hot one here in Lithuania. I'm not sure if it is really that hot or it just seems so, because it is the first summer that I am spending at work sitting in a small server room with no windows coding Perl...

The number of beverages currently on my desk is 0, however there is a nice crate of mineral water under the desk. I hope that qualifies ;)

The temperatures have been reaching past +30C here (how much of that is in Farenheit? I must hack up a script to do the conversion in Perl sometime) and it is impossible to stay indoors without any drink. And don't even think about coding without a nice cold bottle of some kind of drink by your side.

    It's not just Lithuania..

    We (here in Calgary) have been hitting mid 30's for the past couple of weeks. Normally we don't see that kind of weather till later in the year. Mind you I'd rather have the +30's than the -30's that we were hitting 6 months ago ;)

    Oh, and 7-10 for me - 4 coffee cups, 2 pop cans, and 1 water bottle.

    Howdy!

    30C is right seriously warm, especially if that is indoors. (Oh, that's 86F).

    I'm counting my coffee mug in my reply...

    yours,
    Michael

      thanks michael by the way whats the conversion factor

    Here ya go.

    perl -le 'print (((9/5) * shift) + 32)' 30 86

    86 degrees F isn't that bad, unless there's lots of humidity. The moisture in the air is what'll get ya.

    It is currently 102F (39C) outside here :(
    I wish it were only 32C.
