A pretty decent day. An impromptu group meeting where I was told that prospective customers will be perfectly happy without a lot of the tricky stuff we haven't implemented yet. Dinner out with Colleen (a slightly belated Anniversary dinner). Colleen figuring out how to use the Kindle store (which will probably be expensive, but she's happy -- that counts for a lot). A little household infrastructure work, finally getting both my facehugger and my alarm clock onto a UPS. Finding a wonderful but inexpensive gift for a friend at Ross.

On the other hand, I had to cut my walk short because of what felt like an incipient blister on my right little toe. Colleen caught me nibbling -- purely out of habit, I presume -- after dinner. (On the gripping hand, I'm glad she's willing to call me on that, because I really have to lose weight.) And I once again reluctantly decided not to spend $600 on a Mac Mini, which I would use mainly as a media machine and to run software like TaxCut that doesn't run on Linux. Maybe by the time I'm ready to buy one it'll have BluRay. Or I suppose I could find a used one for cheap.

As usual, lots of tasty links up above the cut. Many are from Linux Gazette.

OK, I really can't complain, and my mood pretty much stayed between "good" and "contented", so...
