A pretty good day, mostly spent beating Ubuntu into submission as my new desktop OS at work. When I was a boy window managers had proper manners, and didn't bind keys that Emacs was using. I'll probably go back to ctwm now.

After an unsuccessful shopping trip I had lunch at Sitar Express in The Oaks shopping center; cheap ($7 for the buffet), tasty, not a huge selection but good hot condiments and masala chai on tap.

I was pretty much a vegetable after dinner, and went to bed early. Not conducive to getting things done.

Some good links under the cut. The day's xkcd required a close look at both the tool-tip and the math before becoming suddenly and uproariously funny.
