( raw notes )

A good day. (Though I've learned that potato chips are definitely a comfort food. Not so good.) The high point, definitely, was running into marypcb and sbisson in Barefoot while I was buying coffee. Had a good conversation, well worth not going for a walk; the weather was getting gloomy and cold by that point anyway.

Lots of puttering around the offsite backup scripts, disk drives on the router, and the the Starport's energy budget -- the three aren't entirely separate. The router and fileserver need to be upgraded to Squeeze soon, so a few extra reboots aren't going to be noticed in the general scheme of things.

A couple of good links under the cut. I particularly recommend A quintessence of dust - Roger Ebert's really nice ramble about the universe, evolution, and the consolations thereof. Definitely appeals to my particular flavor of scientific/druidic atheism.
