Well... a pretty good day. Not least because a certain coworker appears to be pretty close to having his task done, so I won't have to step in. Convenient. And I took a full 3-mile walk!

And my pre-ordered hardcopy of Cat Valente's The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making arrived in the mail, which is simply wonderful. Go buy a copy!

Unsurprisingly, there are glitches after my desktop and server upgrades to Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). Just fixed printing on the server this morning, and playback on my soundcard is still broken. Chrome is flaky. Grumble.

I'm not packed for my weekend trip to Seattle yet, and I still have a lot of paperwork to do. Eeek!

Some intriguing links about Android, and a lot of depressing political/economic stuff. Grump.
