At work ... tuned in ... watching .....
I was at work on graveyard shift (just like tonight) with the benefit of a T-1 internet connection for the first and second launch attempts of the previous mission - and each time it was scrubbed due to bad weather!!
The first night I was at home and sleeping (with only dialup speed access anyway) it launched of course, so I missed it.
Hopefuly it will go ahead this morning ok .. looking good at T-30 !

Yep, got it on my telly now (my nvidia video card has TV out "Dualview") allowing that, and me to surf the Net on the main monitor 
I will record the actual launch with my DVD recorder.

Edit: those darn vultures are at it again, circling around, I can see them on NASA TV, I think an earlier shuttle mission struck one during ascent thankfully causing no damage

Damn .... I KNOW they're doing this just to give me the shytes .....
Relax folks, get some sleep this weekend .... I'm on graveyard shift until Monday morning - the shuttle obviously will therefore launch successfully Tuesday morning our time.

If it was Aussies doing the launch we'd just duck down to the wreckers and get a another fuel guage, slap it on and away we go
