Saturday update -- not your cute little tiggy

[mdlbear]

Did a little shopping earlier this afternoon, and bought a B&D Hedge Hog for dealing with the jungle vines in the back 40 (that's 40 feet, of course). This isn't a cute little tiggy-wiggie we're talking about here; it's a 22" electric hedge trimmer, pulling about a third of a horsepower. Watch your fingers.

Yes, as a matter of fact having a local Debian mirror does make upgrades faster. By a lot. Took over four-and-a-half hours to rsync, but since I pulled the copy at work on Wednesday or Thursday, that's not doing too badly. The cron job is set for 4am, so it shouldn't be a problem in any case unless there's a major update, and now that Sarge is frozen that's a lot less likely than it was a week ago.

Did a little guitar/vocal practicing; having ciarhwyfar over made for a good excuse.
