It's hot out. Yesterday I measured 102°F in my bedroom, which is always ten degrees or so hotter than the rest of the house. Meanwhile, it was 68°F in the basement, so I decided to take my laptop and radio and set up down there. If it stays cooler than the rest of the house, I'll probably end up spending the summer down here, minus when I sleep.
Unfortunately, there seem to be a few problems with this idea. First is that we use the basement as a storage space, so at the moment I'm sitting on a rusted bar stool with my laptop on top of part of our old kitchen set. A close second is that radio reception of any sort is terrible down here: everything from FM radio around 100MHz to cordless phones at 5.8GHz have reception problems, as well as everything in between such as 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 1.9GHz GSM. Third is that my presence down here over the past 24 hours has increased the temperature to 76°F...
I suppose I'll enjoy this while I can...
