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.

Yeah, that's how I maintain my mirror now. I was doing it from home, since SuSE will do delta RPMs, but now it's just easier for me to carry it back and forth and save my "extra" bandwidth for better things.
