The next night I was still awake at 3AM. As I'm sure my fellow insomniacs can understand: I want to have something positive come from a night like this. My revelation: Converting dirhams is easy: Divide by four and add 8%.
The next day I proudly exclaimed my revelation to Ann who replied with:
1. You're such a geek
2. It doesn't help me because divide by 4 and add 8% is something only geeks would understand.
She's right but I spent the better part of two hours in the middle of the night doing test runs and found that it worked with less than 1% error (usually less than .5% error)... so see? being a geek has its advantages.

I first wrote this post in the hotel. It's a goal of mine to post each and every day of 2010. I have no idea why this didn't post when it should have.
