Why Tuesdays?

Why does every cyclist in Perth go riding on Tuesdays mornings? Made the ride this morning far more colourful and crowded.

The ride in this morning was HARD. Took a bit longer, and my legs were just sore, pretty much all the way. Felt like they were hollow, y'know? and I noticed I was riding in lower gears pretty much all the way. But I did it, and that is pretty much it for riding this week - not riding to work on Friday as we are in town all day.

MacBook

Is there a setting where I can close my macbook and it NOT go to sleep? So that I can just take it with me when I go to the loo or grab a hot drink while studying at uni? The only options I can find online seem to involve external mice and keyboards and blue tooth - and I just want to be able to walk to another site with it. If I close it on campus it kills off the internet access and it takes 5 mins or so to get it back online. 

Noise

 I am working in the library on the 'silent floor'* and the staff member has just answered her mobile phone, and conducted a 5 minute phone call at full voice, while standing in front of one of the 'silent floor - do not talk, have mobile phones on etc' kind of signs. unreal.

*suddenly very popular - never was before. I used to work up here and it would be empty. Mind you, now I can find power points, that might have something to do with it.
