London

[juldea]

I dunno if I'm behind, but I just learned about stuff.

I'm not angry, I'm not horrified, I'm just... numb. What a wonderful world.

I only found out about thirty minutes ago. This is what I get for not listening to the news in the morning.

Everybody seems to be OK, though, unless I've missed someone who's in London. (fret, fret.)

You're not behind. I don't watch the morning news and get spotty radio reception inside, so I found out what happened when I sat down at the computer this morning and opened my NPR Top Stories live bookmark to read the headlines while my mail was downloading. I flipped over to my Friends view and over half the posts (including syndicated accounts) were talking about it, accounting for people, etc..

I'm thinking about how to tell the kiddo.

I don't know (without ICQ access, which I don't have at work anymore) how to reach olfin, whom I know to have moved to London just last year... *fret*

Oof yeah... that's rough. :(

Haven't tried ICQ gateway on this thing and don't know if that person has secured themselves, but if you want to give me the # I can try to check for you.

Thanks.

Reads as offline right now, but might just be buddy-only. (I'll keep him on to see if he suddenly pops up.)

If you can reach ICQ's site at all, you could try their java gateway thing. It's at http://www.icq.com/icq2go/

It really hits close to home for me, since one of the bombs went off in the neighborhood where I lived for 2 months in 2002. I'm glad I don't know anyone who lives in London (anymore).

I can reach the site and open the program just fine, but the connection times out when trying to log in. I don't know what they did here at work, but it certainly keeps me off the chat programs...

Yikes. Which one?

[idonotlikepeas]

Sorry. :/

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Eh, I can still use IRC!

Edgeware Road. I just wrote a livejournal entry about it. I found out from another WPI student who lived there (at a different time).

Never mind, just read your post.

We'll deal with it as she sees/hears about what's happened. So far, she's only heard a little bit on the radio and I've read Talking With Kids About War and Violence at PBS Parents.
