I've had enough. Just stop already.
We got 13.3" more snow yesterday. What a joke. We're now within 2.5" of our all time record for one winter and 42 more days till spring. We have over 76" so far and now they're saying it's possible we could hit 100". Nice... I need to move to Arizona or something.
Yesterday was a big day for ComicWonder.com. The Comic Wonder of the Year, Chris Cashman, and Mark Metcalf (Neidermeyer) were on the Bob and Tom show yesterday morning. It was great, they were on for 2 hours and did a lot to pump up the site. We had quite a bit of traffic and lots of new members and jokes.
I ended up putting in some database caching and performance improvements Tuesday night and we ran flawlessly.
We're working now towards getting some additional hardware and some load balancing then we'll be adding some group stuff for radio stations to have their own joke sections. Should be fun building that.
Back to the snow.. did I mention I hate it? 500 cars stranded on the interstate yesterday and they were still telling everyone to stay off I-90 between Madison and Janesville as there were still 100 cars left to remove. Glad I wasn't on the highway yesterday, it was bad enough just getting around town.
Bowling, of course was canceled. They even shut down the UW, which is unheard of. Somehow the Badger basketball team managed to make it to Iowa where they struggled but ended up beating Iowa to run their record to 19-3 (9-1 in the Big 10). That was the first game I was able to watch on the Big 10 network in HD. Pretty cool.
Speaking of HD. I got a new dish installed on Saturday and bought the new Directv HD DVR so I could get their full compliment of some 75 HD channels.
Unfortunately I couldn't get a signal on one of the satellites. I called and complained and nothing. Finally during the snow storm another installer came yesterday. Turns out that the multiswitch (takes 4 incoming satellite lines and runs them to 8 output lines) couldn't handle the frequency that the new satellite comes in on. He replaced the multiswitch and everything is great. They should let people know that, I could have replaced it myself.
That's all for now, gotta catch up on work after spending a couple hours clearing the snow.

We're having records snows here in the NW too. Mostly in the mountains. I think all the tree huggers and politicians should tell mother nature that we are supposed to be in a crisis of global warming.
Yeah, we broke the all time record for Madison yesterday. We're over 79" now and looking for 2-4" more tomorrow. They're saying 100" isn't unreasonable.
Our average is just under 50".
