...and there is nothing on tv to watch.

.. and you're wearing sunglasses?

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

I wondered where that was from (I know, I could have just asked), so I just entered the whole thing into a Google search.

Here's something that came up -- {FTW?}

I wonder sometimes about the stuff you find stored on the web. Someone's research, leading ... nowhere?

2:35? Wimp. On monday I was up till 6:00AM.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

Well, I made it to 4am, then ran out of things to do, so I clambered into bed and sat in the dark until the sun came up. I think I drifted off around 8, and 4 hours later I was dragged out of bed to have lunch with the parents. Now I'm all sleepy, but I don't want to take a nap because then I'll probably wind up wide awake at 2:35am again.

I never have been able to make it all night long without sleep. 4 AM, 5 AM regularly, but collapse soon after. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Well, I sometimes stay up all night during the weekend, but I can't do that on a weekday because then I'll be falling asleep during work the next day.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

Well, it looks like my 4 hours of sleep is catching up with me. It's 12:35am and I'm feeling rather sleepy. Too sleepy for sleep, if you know what I mean.

I tried playing Solitaire, but gave up after deciding the computer was mocking me by withholding cards I needed in one game, then making them readily available the next.

I tried playing Pinball, but it seems my reflexes aren't quite up to par right now.

Any suggestions for another mindless diversion?

Crikey, you guys have no idea how many typos I just had to fix.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

My guess is threeve.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

I was thinking I'd probably end up staying up until threeve, but I waylaid the sandman on his way to the neighbours and liberated his sweet sweet magical dust! Mwah!

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

I just finished watching the Prestige, what a great movie. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif If your really bored, I highly recommend it. That and Equilibrium.

That is a statistical analysis of how many times each word appears in a large body of English language texts.

I worked with a similar database at my last job, working for a professor researching computer recognition of speech.

Yeah but ... why post it on the web, and why is Google indexing it? Yeah, I know, ... Why not? and Because are options. Still weird 'tho.

Check out this Fark link (remember, Fark webpage has naughty adverts): {The world generated 161 exabytes of digital information last year. That's 161 billion gigabytes}

Scroll down for an interesting breakdown of examples of really big numbers, we once had a thread on this subject here on Shrapnel.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

First of all, I was quite disapointed to find a distinct lack of naughty adverts. Second of all, that a lot of bytes! Though I found it kinda funny when one of the sciency guys said that if we kept all our data, we wouldn't have room for it all. Just struck me as one of those, 'well, duh!' moments.

Re: OT: It\'s 2:35am....
 

That's hilarious.
