"Who knows? Not me..."

- I'm back from Tallahassee :) It was a lovely trip, even if I spent most of the time coughing and wheezing and involuntarily sounding like the Godfather when I spoke. Marty samarin and Yaël yaello came with, and we visited my family and hung out with Brett zip4096 and Garrett lomonthang and walked around Lake Ella and marvelled at the amazingness that is middle and south Georgia along the way. No racing for me, though, which is alright, because I can't imagine I'd have been pleased, had I tried it. It was wonderful to get to see my people again, yay! *hugs for everybody*

- Brett's cartoon is coming along, and it's beautiful, and everybody at the film festival is going to be amazed.

- There's a lot of work to do. There's always a lot of work to do. Eep. Thankfully, it's good work, and it's related to things that I should know about and want to study. So there.

- XFCE (a very pretty and light-weight desktop system for X) version 4.2 rocks really hard -- 4.0 was nice, but 4.2 is even better, and it deals with dual screens in a very sensible fashion. I recommend it heartily, even for people used to Mac OS or windoze... were I setting up a Linux box for my mother (dramamamalama), I'd probably put XFCE on it.
