Northern California, 89 F, that's 32 C for your poor Europeans suffering over there.  And its 6:30 in the evening.
Have to say that coming after the three weeks of rain, the place is looking absoloutely stunning, green, lush, verdant, a deep blue sky, with wall to wall sun. And the chilled chardonnay isn't bad either!

You beat us by a bit. We topped out today at 38C (100.4F). The winds are out of the southwest which makes it feel a whole lot hotter.
We are getting some rain recently (first in 4 months) which has brought the temperature down a bit. A week ago we were getting 39C-40C (102F-104F) during the day.

Here is around 20 °C, and I don't miss your three weeks of rain.

In the middle of Germany we had about 4° C at 8:30 in the morning. But at least it's sunny. 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Eek, I also work in the middle of Germany on occasion. Is it really that cold still? Its was a nice summer last year though, very nice.

Not at all, it's a will-o’-the-wisp! May be consequence of a martian cimetery?

Cool post, John, but I just couldn't resist the infantile response. Forgive me; I have sinned. And I greatly look forward to doing so again.

Well, to know what "XP" in "Windows XP" really means, we need a bit of a history lesson.
Way back in the 70's, Xerox came up with the idea of a mouse and graphical user interface (GUI).
Apple's Steve Jobs saw this GUI & mouse and stole hired engineers away from Xerox to create the Mac.
Clickity Proof[^]
Well, a few years later ol' Bill (of the Gates variety) saw the mousey & GUI and wanted his own rendition of it. But, alas, patents and prior art (first use) stood in the way. So, he struck a deal with Jobs on using some of the Mac interface in Windows 1.0.
Well, a few years later, Apple decided to sue both H.P. and Microsoft for copyright infringements. But, that $5 Billion lawsuit was awash for Apple. More Clickity Proof[^]
Well, a few years later, Xerox decides to sue Apple for copyright infringements. Suffice to say, the suit eventually got tossed. Even More Clickity Proof[^]
Well, we now get to jump 11 years ahead to 2001.
Apple intro's Mac OS X on March 24, 2001.
Not wanting to feel left behind, Microsoft intros Windows XP on October 25, 2001.
Now, most tech-heads will denote that the "X" in Mac OS X is a moniker for "Unix"; e.g., HP/UX, IBM A/IX, etc.
However, being a 10-year Apple veteran during that 80's & 90's era, my conclusion is to the contrary.
That "X" in Mac OS X really means "Xerox". For, Apple couldn't go on hiding what they really did ~ that being taking the idea from Xerox in the first place.
Low, and behold, Bill[ionaire] Gates wanted to set the record perfectly straight, which is why he had Microsoft use "XP", which stands for:
