The last couple weeks have been extremely warm here in France. No one was expecting that to happen so quick! One day i was working on my projects and the next day i am unable to do anything.
If you are a developer, you know how much the room in which you are working is warm because of the computers. Even my laptot gets hot when i work on it too much. But with this heat wave coming so quick, i have to freeze everything i am doing and try to survive.
Day 1 : I have a few fans around me, but it doesn't help. The only thing I've found is taking a cold shower. But an hour later i can take another one. Windows are opened, sometimes there is some wind coming through them but computers are still you worst enemy, prepared for that and warmer than ever! And the screen started to heat up, nothing can stop them! People came with things to eat and a friend decided to do a barbecue.. i wonder what is gonna get roasted first.
Day 2 : Our fans died. A whole day is too mush for them and they overheated. If fans cannot take their own heat, we are so dead! There was black smoke outside, a huge cloud of smoke (Oh god i miss LOST!) It was a field, burning! Well, it wasn't the sun. There is a road going through it and someone threw out his cigarette. But i swear, the sun is hot these days! I can't work, i turned up my N64. But quickly turned it off, i don't stop walking and drinking. Thank god toilets are always empty!
Day 3 : I wonder if i should write an article about the heat. I can't work so i have enough time to do it. Also, they said we should have rain around 2pm, but it's 5pm and still nothing! I wanted to go out and do some urbex with my girlfriend but we can't move.
Day 4 : I think i see the light! There was a few rain drops, nothing more. But it was enough to make us smile again. Now i think of every one who said "Whaaa! I don't like winter, i want summer and a lot of sun!" But i'm French! Not Spanish! I was not ready for that, i am losing my mind. Thankfully, i need a new scenario for a game, so losing my mind is a good idea ;)
Day 5 : Still nothing new. Well.. i just remembered that there is a swimming pool on the other side of my door. But i don't wanna move, it's hot everywhere i touch.
I finally made it to the swimming pool and quickly put my hands i the water.. well... water was warm.. Nothing can save us now!
Day 6 : Nevermind, water is cold now! We are free!
Day 7 : Can't get out of bed
Day 8 : *Dead*
So, there is nothing i can do. On days like these, there is no way for me to work! I've seen that it was the same everywhere, not only in France. But here, working on an overheating computer and having my hands where the hot processor is, is not really a good idea.
