omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Not to hijack the thread from Shir, since she is in need. But I heard this on NPR today and is rather cool. Strokes the geek in two ways, history and science!
Old ship logs help predict weather patterns
Climate scientists want to use weather reports made by British sailors in World War I but they are hidden in handwritten ship logs, and impossible for computer scanners to read. So the scientists have enlisted online volunteers to grab that weather data for computer analysis. Along the way, transcribers are reading about sea battles and daily life nearly a century ago on a British war ship. The World’s Clark Boyd has more. (Audio available after 5PM Eastern)
And here is the website they are talking about: [link]
How cool is that? You get to read through ships logs! Seems they would take weather readings every 4 hours, no matter what was going on. "enemy off port bow, temp is..."

(sorry, that tag doesn't close easy, especially when you are talking history and something that could help with climate prediction!)

And, since I forgot my manners due to the time and the fact that I have only NOW finished writing the budget proposal.
Thank you, Buffistas, for making my first week at work, well, work.

I'm trying to figure out the cheapest way to the Internet once I move. Any thoughts on dial-up? It's been eons since I had it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Any thoughts on dial-up?
