      Not a cloud in the sky, but only 62% here. Not really spectacular.

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

        Got a good view - cloud cover was just enough for it to come through. Flippin' cold and the birds have gone quiet. Have some flowers (weeds!) in the garden that close up at night and they're shut tight

            Our office has one wall which is essentially a massive window. I sit right in front of that window. It gave me a perfect view of FA. My colleague was wearing a Welding Mask. Quite a surreal experience really.

                        So, our tests today have shown that Eclipse with the cloud sucks. Next week on mIThbusters, we'll examine VS and Azure.

                                    Just cloud here in 85% land. In 1999, I went down to Cornwall to experience totality and it was totally cloudy then, too.

                                      through some intermittent gaps in the clouds, I could manage to see a few glimpses of it up 'ere in lovely North Yorkshire.

                                          In 1999 we were in Babbacombe in Devon, cleared up completely for the eclipse and was fairly spectacular. Today was an almost totally cloudless sky, but being only a partial eclipse and having experienced the full one it was underwhelming really. Did get a bit dimmer, noticeably chillier, lots of dogs barking around the estate, clouded over just after the moon started to pull away so didn't notice it getting brighter again.

                                          Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
