The hum hasn't made a return. The house is nominally quiet. In order for the house to be completely quiet, the surrounding area would have to be 0 Kelvin.
Fortunately there is a blizzard warning which may help the situation. Around 3 a.m. the storm is to begin in earnest and will, allegedly, continue throughout the day on Thursday.
I have no idea if there will be a snow day or not. I still have a personal day and if I can use it, I will use it.
Right now I am kinda hopipng this is the chicken little symdrome that I've decried in earlier entries here at heptapod.org. Yet if it does dump an enormous amount of snow on the county then I'll be beside myself with happiness at the prospect of my first snow day in ages.
Statement as of 7:48 PM MDT on October 25, 2006
... Blizzard Warning remains in effect from 3 am to 6 PM MDT Thursday...
A Blizzard Warning remains in effect from 3 am to 6 PM MDT Thursday.
This warning is in effect for the Interstate 25 corridor... including El Paso... Pueblo... Huerfano and eastern Fremont counties.
Rain and snow will spread across the region tonight... with snow levels dropping to around 6000 feet around midnight... and dropping to around 5000 feet by early Thursday morning. North to northeast winds of 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph will develop early Thursday morning... resulting in blizzard conditions. The worst conditions are expected across the Palmer Divide and northern and western portions of Colorado Springs... and south of the city of Pueblo. Snow amounts will range from 6 to 12 inches over the higher elevations. Up to 6 inches of snow is expected at elevations below 6000 feet.
Life threatening winter weather conditions are expected. Sustained wind speeds or frequent gusts over 35 mph and visibility reduced to below 1/4 mile by falling and blowing snow are expected.
Avoid traveling in the warning area. If you are planning to travel in the warning area during the time of the warning... listen to the latest weather forecast and consider traveling at another time or by another Route. If you must travel in the warning area during the time of the warning... take along a winter survival kit. If you become stranded in a rural area... stay with your vehicle until help arrives. In similar conditions during past blizzards... people have died of exposure while trying to walk to shelter. To keep warm in your vehicle... run your engine 10 minutes each hour... and make sure the exhaust pipe is clear of snow to avoid Carbon monoxide poisoning.
In short, it's probably not going to be that bad. Sigh.
Minutes later I learned the disc was sold but someone left the fucking case on the shelf.
Motherfucker.
So I ended up buying the English translation of Nightwatch.

I've never used anything with aim2game.com. Recently I downloaded Armadillo Run but it didn't interest me so I removed it from my computer.
Wednesday night will be spent downloading programs to run and scan my computer.
What's the word? You don't want to know.
[anonymous says that it's Peony, an OTO codeword used to denote a request for aid in ventures into the 8th dimension. There's a flower for all eleven dimensions.]
Dunno if I should post it.
