In the middle of moving from an old debian install to ubuntu. This is my first ubuntu experience. So far it's nice.

Magnetics word to the wise: I think this (long overdue) move was finally motivated by the fact that while re-arranging our living room I moved our server around, quite near the large-magnet speakers. Keep those hard drives away from the magnets, friends. They're not kind to your files.

Almost finished with the ol' system update to ubuntu, including the latest openssl stuff. I upgraded our photo gallery so it's on gallery2, now. Not sure if we like it. can't get the themes to work properly, etc.

Caleb stayed home from most of church today because of his runny nose, which means I stayed home, too.

I think I may have got a line on some motivation for my project, which means the thesis work could start in the next couple of weeks *crosses fingers*.
