Handy Conversion Calculators

All the calculators you might need for converting things are right here.
They're nursing calculators. I was looking for centimeters to inches.

Going to the lake

Going to the lake for the weekend. Someday, maybe cellphones will work, and maybe RoadRunner will lay a cable underneath the water. Wouldn't that be fun.

Formerly

Every once in awhile, I go through the links called 'Formerly', just to make sure they still work. Some of them are ancient. The list gets a little smaller each time.
It's so disappointing when one disappears. Today, it was Daniel Gordon's Webpage. It was so clever. The URL was http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~dlg10/
I wonder if anyone knows if it exists somewhere out there.
Bummer.

SUNY Potsdam - Draime 3C

Back in the day, I went to SUNY Potsdam. It's in northern New York state. Very northern. It's flat up there, and winters can be too cold for it to even snow. The trees they planted all over campus 30+ years ago haven't grown much.
For three of the four years I lived in Draime Hall - in the extension. The floor was 3C - C for extension, third floor. All dormitories were single sex then, and there were curfews. I don't think it ever occurred to me that they could be anything else. The rooms were on the perimeter, and the bathroom was in the middle.
I forget how many of us were on the floor - all the rooms were doubles. We all got along pretty famously. It was way better than a sorority. Several of us have been in touch with each other, and we think it'd be great fun to have a 3C reunion. Now, we have to try to find everyone.

The URL for Potsdam is http://www.potsdam.edu
There are quite a few typos on it. The alumni directory doesn't require a password.
No wonder there aren't that many listings. Every alumni directory I've seen requires one.
Discouraging, but not surprising.
